I'd buy the BP version just for the notorious reliability of the movement (2824) and also because it's much cheaper. Dial looks worse to me. And the famous ARF bracelet and buckle cannot be beaten so easily.
Having both 904L and 316 watches, my eyes and my wrist cannot feel any difference.
Regarding the 214270 imho it's still the best out of the box replica between modern rolex.
My two cents, of course

as long as there is no arf v2 i would advise to get the new bp: shape of the 3 on dial, rehaut not completely off...
the bracelet & clasp are very good on the 316 BP, imho a lot better than the JFs. no doubt: arf has the best bracelet & clasp ( & crystal & crown & hands ) but its difficult to compare quality via photos...
overall this new BP 904L looks like an improved version of the BP 316, f.e. the crown looks better than the old 316 BP, markers also seem updated...very interesting watch...

Is it just me or does the ARF Crystal scratch easily? Because I have some scratches on mine already. Are there gen replacements for these babies? I love mine and now it has a scratch on the crystal and I can't not see it.

Gentleman a little assistance if you don't mind. I'm new to the forum and the rep watch world and am looking for another set of eyes for the QC pics I just received from my TD.

To me the only issues I am seeing is that the 7 and 8 markers appear to be too close to the chapter ring. Is anyone else seeing this? At first I thought it was the angle of the pictures but I'm not so sure.
Any other educated opinions are very welcome. Thanks!

QC pics are not allowed until you accept, but since you are new here...
The timegrapher reading is good. Index at 10 looks slightly odd. The rehault is off, but that is typical of the ARF version.
Keep in mind the QC pictures are magnified many times normal size. In real world, you'd never notice any of the minor flaws.
I'd accept the watch.

Thank you Art tic. I initially thought it looked good. Then after zooming in and staying at the pictures tiny issues kept popping out. Not noticeable unless someone is holding the watch inches from their face.
Thanks for the assistance, I went ahead and GL.

Anyone got the ARF Explorer and got their rehaut perfectly lined up all the way? Im looking at many pictures of the ARF and all of the rehaut on the left (from 7pm to 11pm) are off.

May I ask if the case of the BP Explorer vs the ARF Explorer is the same dimensions?
If not which is closer to Gen?
Further I would like to know, which bracelet are the better one - they look similar too.
Is there anything different except the movement and price.
I think the dial of the BP to be nicer.
is there’s reason to own both - for the case one loves that model to much
:“-)
