Which dial color your looking for ?
If your looking a blue dial, forget there is no good rep .
If your looking for a black dial, go for DJF, the crystal is the best rep crystal at this time and the watch is nice.

If you want to franken, go for bp sa3131, arf sh3131 is not available anymore but for me it’s the best milgauss

Thank You guys really appreciate the input, it's more a gift (no Franken intent) for my son (28) and I think he was leaning toward blue dial

Anyone else PLEASE?????

The ARF blue dial with the green rim crystal was always a favorite looking watch of mine. Might not be all that accurate to gen but I loved looking at it, great set of colors together. I would get a 2836 as a gift if still available. Especially nice for someone not so picky on accuracy.

I ended up getting an engraved Milgauss that I fell in love with. Still like it a lot though not for everyone, I know. Engraved Milgausses are a thing, many really high quality engraved gens are out there.

I got my wife the blue ARF. It's great and she gets compliments on it all the time. People tell her that it is their favorite Rolex and they really want one. 99% won't know. I put a swiss ETA but the A2824 that came out of it was top notch and perfectly regulated. For the money a great buy.

Thrasher,
just want to let you know that those ARF blue Milgauss reps are sooo off, not even close to gen when it comes to dial and crystal.
if you are looking for most gen / accurate Milgauss DJF with black dial is the way to go.

This is true. I think the blue dial in rep is darker. Luckily, I don't look for "cloeseness to gen" in rep.

efajri rcom440 KJ2020 If it were me I think I would go with the ARF even with the darker blue dial....The DJF blue looks to light and washed out, My Son (28 yrs saw it and liked it but is unsure of the dial) I would really like to see a wrist photo of the blue DJF...
