Here are a few shots of my ROF Yellow OP.
Sent from my iPhone using RWI
seems good.. how is in person? 41 or 36?
It's a 41mm and the bracelet is better than EWF's (since I've owned both). The EWF bracelet rattles a bit and seems lighter in weight than the ROF bracelet. The ROF bracelet is smoother and more refined on the edges with little rattle. As for the dial, after wearing it for a while I've noticed that the dial color is more of a "school bus" yellow. While the EWF dial is a lighter shade of yellow, I think prefer the EWF dial. Lastly, the coronet at 12 and dial printing is definitely better on the ROF dial.
Above are pics of EWF Tiffany OP41.
Some thoughts on this piece.
Good:
1. Very high quality finish on the case and bracelet (Although it rattles when shaking).
2. Finish on the dial and hands is very good
3. Bezel thickness seems okay to me!
4. SEL recess looks decent to me.
5. Dial color is beautiful! And seems pretty close to gen to me. It looks more turquoise-ish indoor and more sky bluish outdoor. Very interesting. I compared the dial color indoor against Rolex's product page and it's almost an exact match. I am not claiming gen and rep dial color matches. I am just saying the gmf dial color matches the product photo Rolex put out when indoor.
Bad:
1. Text on the dial is rather pretty flat. Gen looks more raised in pics
2. "RP" in PERPETUAL is bolder than the rest of the text and they are too stuck to each other compared to gen. This to me isn't a big deal but it is noticeable when you look for it
3. Crown threads = shitty
4. Movement... So this supposedly comes with Hanzhou 7 series. It feels like shit when winding and the rotor is quite loud. However, I tested the power reserve and it came in at 85 hours. During this entire duration, it gained only about 8 to 9 seconds.
5. Coronet shape looks a bit skinny compared to gen.
6. Minute hand seems about... 0.1 or 0.2mm shorter than gen. Pretty close tho.
7. I found out that the diameter is slightly smaller in size than gen. I measured mine and it came in at around 39.5mm. I believe gen is around 39.7mm.

Yes it is! The fonts are bolder on the gen but everything else is spot on!
Yep! It's very apparent side by side. I am surprised how Close the blue color is. Very well done.

Hi, I’m looking at purchasing one of these watches. Maybe the green but probably the Tiffany blue. Which factory should I go for? GMF OR EWF? Thanks for your options.
