Nice that they updated that! Unfortunately the "3" is still too round compared to the flatter 3 on the gen

 

[Alex22]

buying now is sure to have the latest version?

My Noob on left, BP on right.

How do you like the BP? Does it "feel" like a well made watch? Level of finish comparable to top shelf JF and Noob reps?

Are you sure? The "E" is the same as before, the gen dial has a different "E", the middle line is upper than the one on the rep dial and this didn't change.
Maybe they just modify the layout to make closer "E" and "X"

Anyone else got the new JF recently?

I can see big difference in Font , I didn’t have the watch but very clear and close to Gen 2015 model

I do not have the rep yet. but from the photos it seems to me an excellent rep, really close to the gen. I think many gen rolex owners could not distinguish this rep from the gen.

i agree with you. Only thing is that you will have to invest $150 to $300 in a service, but still great value imo

On the left, gen, on the right, the JF “v1”. Note the EX spacing is not really an issue by comparison to gen. The shape of the 6 and 9 are more clear ways to improve this watch.

Agree with Maron, the 3132 movement needs immediate service, much like all of JF’s rollie clones.

 

[Maron]

Pombok I have also noticed the dial font on the genuine dial is bolder and whiter than on the JF. At the end of the day though we are really splitting hairs, this rep is amazing.

do you think it is mandatory to do a service? but can it be done when problems arise or should it be done immediately? What is the service? the cost is 159/200?

I'm sure you can wear it as is until you decide it needs a service. The problem with that is that if the movement is dirty and improperly oiled, the longer you run it as is the more damage that will cause on parts and when you do have it serviced you will need to replace more parts.

I don't know what each watch smith charges or whom you would send it to, but the price will be approximately $150 USD. It would be wise to use some rolex parts during the service and that will add to the cost depending on how many and which you choose to use.

If I were you I would contact a smith and ask for specifics

One of my favourite things about the watch is the bracelet, clasp and sel’s. They are solid, well made and accurate. Usually these parts are hit and miss as the makers focus on the case parts.
