New or old version of the Oyster Perpetual?

[Marcorollie]

Hi,
I'm looking for a help in choosing my next replica.. the question is about choosing for a new Rolex 126000 OP 36mm (I think the 41 is too large) and the old version 114300 39mm (searching I found it to be a better rep than this version in 36).

For the New the concern are of course that is a first version and the colours semms to be wrong comparing to gen.
For the old I don't undestand which version to choose..

I made a poll but If there are other versions please write down below..
Hope you can help me thanks in advance

There is also a problem with the blacks.. gen are with sunburst dial.. rep I saw are all with flat black

I've also looked into either 36 or 39mm OP. The blue dial version looks like it has sunburst dial. You're not considering blue dial at all?

ARF 39mm grape and rhodium are considered NWBIG AFAIK so I would choose one of them.
But I just got a VSF Aquaterra off M2M for my GADA warch needs

You didn't list it in your poll but the BP old 39mm is a nice rep IMO. ETA movement, low price, and better than UBF. I rejected UBF for quality issues. I dont care for the double hour markers on the new releases.

BP 39MM

UBF had flawed markers and dial was not seated properly in the case (common flaw). Note the distance from blue hour markers to rehaut on left side vs right side.

My vote is for the ARF OP39, overall great finish. In saying that, the ARF does come at a bit of a premium over the BP.

The BP39mm above is indeed an excellent recommendation. I did not own one, but had the chance to take a close look at one and found it is an awesome rep, even though the design is not really my style.
Good luck with choosing the best option for yourself!

In what is "premium"?

I don't like blu dial but to know what version are you thinking? old BP?

Premium means higher cost, check TD listings. ARF also has an SH3132 movement, which can have issues. Most notably with the autowind device. YMMV. The fit and finish are top notch.

thanks.. indeed I searched for a arf with an a2824 but I found only a submariner

I've seen some people say the ARF OP39 is one of the best Rolex reps out there, period. So thatd be my vote.

thanks.. my only concern is about the movement..

Either 36mm blue dial from KRF or 39mm black dial with clone movement ARF

 

[KJ2020]

EWF makes all the new models too. A few members here have bought them.

the 41 is gen and 36 is KRF. you can't tell differences at all. I owned one tudor BB36 from KRF, almost perfect. I believe the new op 36 is the best on market, and I just ordered one.
but the price indeed is a little bit high.
