Quick comparison pictures showing gen 2016 BLNR (oyster bracelet) vs GMF (jubilee).

Will share my thoughts later. For now here are some quick iPhone pictures.

Side by side plenty of flaws and looks like a pass but interested in hearing your in hand thoughts.

DW and Cyclops are not a too great.

To me the insert looks fine. Bezel color is a bit more white on the Rep but that could be lighting. And who has a gen side by side on the street.

To me the flaws are acceptable from wrist distance. If someone wants to get more perfection then he can always swap the cyclops and DW with a gen one. If you add gen bezel / Dial it’s basically 1:1.

Great Comparison KS! Looking forward to hear your thoughts on them.

Need some time to take a good look before sharing my thoughts.

GMF Dial is very nice:

The insert, dw, and cyclops are crap. Dial and hands too. Swiss made, really? I'm sure it's somewhat a decent watch but it is a highend rep and too many misses for this coin. In person may be different but looks cheap and like a rep in pics, especially side by side. You can't rep the blnr half baked.

What’s wrong with “Swiss Made” Dial on 2019 watch mate?

Cyclops and DW mod is required even on high end ARF, so that’s a given in this industry.

It's not that bad to be honest I only don't like the cyclops I think the cyclops of the first ARF Submariner had a way better cyclops but it's a good first attempt :)

Added crown and on the wrong side of the minute markers. The cyclops mag looks off besides just black hole and maybe enhances the dw to look worse than others?

Swiss made is correct with 2019 model

I see it now on other google images. The one I was using and the gen wasnt that way... so...

I couldn't understand how they could mess up that bad. Makes more sense now.

DW ain’t too bad. Cyclops needs modification but so does Noob and ARF.

This is the Cyclops on a circa $600 noob gmt:

This is the DW and cyclops on a $400ish ARF:

In comparison, the GMF DW ain’t bad at all. Just needs a profS cyclops (just like almost any other rep rollie):

Hour markers on the GMF are very impressive. Better than the pointy 12 marker you see on a significantly more expensive ARF Sub. ARF hands are much better tho

Those have to be some of the worst mag options to pick! Its funny we are discussing this because I was just looking at some mags and dw on reps thinking an upgrade would be good.

Haha. They’re the only Rolex reps I have right now.

ProfS crystal and gen DW is a mandatory modification for me when it comes to all rep Rolex.

Lol! Its angles, lighting, and distance too. We also get overly picky in the pics when obsessing and looking for flaws vs the wrist.

People is looking for small flaws in macro shoot.

On the wrist is completely unnoticeable
