No ide about the others but I have zero burn marks at the clasp laser engravings. The crown is quite nice as well. It is a very, very nice piece. IMO a lot better than what the web pics suggest.

Thanks. I'm in the market for one if anyone wants to sell: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...57-wtb-ubf-114300-oyster-perpetual-with-a2824
Bought the AN from trusty, he says its UB.
Will post pics as soon as it arrives, QC pics look great!

Just placed order for the grey with puretime, will post QC photos when I get them. I frankly prefer getting the ARF but really don't want to deal with the SH3132. I like knowing I can replace the movement with a gen swiss one for a couple hundred dollars and have a watch that will most likely work for decades.

Viewing on desktop mode worked better. They all look good in my opinion but I can't really comment on dial color accuracy since I'm not familiar with gens.
Would be interesting to hear from others what the UB is lacking other than the bracelet not feeling as good as BP's

I'm honestly a bad judge of these things, I've seen gens that I thought were fake. But from what I can tell the answer is that it's pretty close. There's not a ton of data points to judge from though. I would guess the bracelet quality is not quite as good as ARF/JF, and the engravings on the clasp don't look as good either. I can't really speak to the color accuracy of the dial, but it's possible the ARF/JF coloring is better.

I'm happy with my JF grey with the SH3132 and would pick that over the rest. The only down sides are the cost, and the clasp doesn't lock as nicely as the BP. My two BPs keep poor time compared to the JF. It could be coincidence of course. The UB is a nice option if you want the look of the ARF but don't want to spend that much.
I received the watch from trusty AN Factory OP 34 mm green:
The dial and case is almost perfect.
The bracelet ist a bit cheap and squeeky.
The clasp is also really good.
All in all a great watch.
Size is like a vintage 36.
Recommended!

Glad you like it too. Care to share a few shots? 
My bracelet is not cheap feeling and not at all squeeky. Rather very solid.

Sure here you go:
I ordered an ultrasonic cleaner and will clean and baby oil it, to see if it helps.
Lug width must be 19 mm so ordering an ARF Bracelet is no option
All in all I think the bracelet is fine, I dont notice anything when I have the watch on.
As mentioned above the clasp feels very soild, only the links are squeeky and make weird noises
