Hi Folks

Small update on my part.

The watch is finally ready to ship out, after many weeks. There were issues with the dial, which therefore was replaced with a new and better batch by my TD, and of course the customary cleaning of dust.

However, due to the week-long celebrations in China, my watch can only be shipped after that. In addition, I have opted for triangular shipping, which adds further to the delay.

Nonetheless I hope you all may bear with me further. Patience is key. Thanks.

Here it's mine still with its plastics on

I am already in the Gen waiting list, so I don't think I am going to pull out the plastics in order to make a fast sale.

Impressions is that diameter feels like an old datejust case of 36mm, so perfect for my wrist.
Dial don't think is clear since I have not the Gen in front of me to compare.

Overall seems a really nice rep, don't know yet if is another nwbig but is a really nice rep.

Looks great! Thanks for posting pics. I might look into a 114300 from UB Factory and compare it to my BP.

Anyone thinking of UBF Grape Dial? I know ARF has a good one, but I don't particularly care about the clone movement in this one. Nor do i care about the 904l because I want to put it on a leather strap. So mostly just hoping the dial looks good!

Thanks for posting!

Mine is still on its way, but after seeing your first hands-on pics I believe it will be worth the wait.
I shall certainly post pics of my specimen also and chime in with my thoughts.

Cheers

looks very interesting. i'm especially curious about the hands quality. I have bought a JF about a year ago, and i feel like the hands are a total giveaway because of their unpolished rough edges that clearly stand out to the naked eye. I even ordered a new set, which unfortunately was no improvement. However, this seems to be a problem of many reps, the Aqua Terra 8500 VSF i have also has the same problem.

It looks great. How do you feel the bracelet? It’s flimsy or sturdy? You think it’s near ARF quality or lower but still ok like DJF? And I am interested in your conparation in size with an old DJ 36mm. It’s because the dial is the same size? Thanks!!

The coronet and hour markers on this look to be fairly correct, which is nice. You can see 11430 reps (39mm version of this watch) from GMF with excessively fat hour markers or certain iterations of ARF where the hole in the coronet was more a circle than an oval.


Curious to see how closely the olive colour was replicated, which I imagine is one of the greatest challenges for any non-black dial.

Bracelet is not Gen like feeling, probably a nice oil bath will help :)

Feeling at the wrist is top

It's 16 cm and wears like the other datejust of 36mm
