Hi guys,I haven’t seen people posting much infos about DJF. I got some datas from a dealer ,it’s super amazing.

In this pics,it’s said DJF solved these 3 noted technical problems.
1.CNC carving dial
2.Red&blue one-piece ceramic bezel
3.green sapphire crystal
DJF insists in perfect flawless products. I think their efforts should not be ignored. I’m pretty impressed by their rep watches.

So guys what do you think about it?cos I wanna give it a try.

These are very impressive, The proper green sapphire crystal would be of great benefit to the Milgauss reps. The current one's are a very easy tell, with their all over green AR.

The DJF milgauss crystal is not as incredible as it.
Only the lower part is green but not the upper so when you look the crystal from the side it’s amazing and quite close to gen (a little too clear) but when you look at the extreme side, the crystal is not green.

DJF Milgauss is great! DJF black dial is best Milgauss rep on the martlet at this time!

pepsi (blue red) ceramic is off.
Blue color is not accurate, not even close. It could be darker with slight violet / blue hue. Red part is good enough but blue is way off.

So is the Pepsi a true one piece insert rather than two pieces joined together like all other reps? I’m on the fence as I’m looking at a blnr and can’t decide between the djf or the gmf, but if the bezel is a true one piece that might sway me in djf favor. Has anyone handled one of the djf gmt’s and if so, how is the build quality on them? And how do their shortcomings compare to gmfs(ie poor bezel action, misaligned rehaut ect).

DJF has also released a CHS A3186 movement too. No specifics on how it works, but I would be interested to hear more.

I talked with the dealer these days, just like what your said,the DJF milgauss green crystal is made of two layers of glass.
But this is pretty smart, by this way I think it’s very close to GEN. We’re fed up with the plating and silk screen glass.
I already ordered one DJF milgauss , and I will open another post to talk about it.

The DJF Pepsi ceramic is a truly one piece insert. I recommend it if you’re fine with the not that accurate color.
Or you can wait for their V3 pepsi, cos I heard they’re working on the color and try to make it more accurate.

I totally agree with you, so far DJF black dial is the best Milgauss rep on the market.
The color of Pepsi ceramic is not that satisfactory. But I swear this is the best I have ever seen so far!it’s one-piece not connected with two ceramics! So incredible! They really did it.
I got 2 DJF V2 GMT , one black and blue,another one pepsi. They update 3186 movement, put the goddamn GTM hand on the right place.
According to the dealer, they are working on the V3 making the color closer to GEN.

Are they using one piece inserts in the BLNR models? Because if they are using them with 2836 movements I think I’m sold.
