Guys,

why is it so difficult to choose the correct factory for this model.

there are so many variants, and different price ranges.

i'm looking with the search function for already 3 days but cant find any good post about this watch.

which one is the best buy, for daily usage.

For sample :

https://puretimewatch.io/datejust-4...-yg-dial-on-ss-yg-jubilee-bracelet-a2824.html

which is the one to go ?


hope someone can help me out, im already spending hours to make a choice.

regards

i think the arf version is still not on the market, cant find it from arf. only the 36mm

does anyone knows more about this 41MM ARF version where to buy ?

for now i think the best valuble version is the DJF

but if the arf is available i will go for the ARF

So here are the things I look for.

1) Is the bezel correctly shaped like Gen. Here Noob has it right, GMF is terrible and DJF while not accurate is better than GMF
2) Are the middle links plated on the sides? Noob and GMF have it right, DJF are steel on the sides and even at a distance its easy to spot.
3) The Dial. GMF has by far the best text print, but the markers are the wrong shape. Noob is just phoning it in for dial print. Blurry and not accurate. Yuk DJF is...okay.

That is enough to get you started. :)

Is it me or is the gold too dark on the GMF? I have also been searching for this spec and I'm starting to get frustrated...

Fellas add another question to the list. I know the ARF takes gen bits, what about BP and Noob, can I put a gen dial and crystal? Thx in anticipation.

Is that the wrapped version? If so, I'd love to see a closeup of the sides of the midlinks.

Plated only. Sides are plated as well. However hard to see from QCs.
