just ordered the GMF silver dial, anyone have reviews on that?
What are your thoughts on GMF? Are you satisfied? I'm thinking of getting the black color too, but I'm always stuck between EWF and GMF. I would appreciate it if you could share your views here. It would be great if you could even share the photos.

Hope you don't run into any problems this time. Thank you for your interest. I think I will prefer GMF. I'm only interested in OP right now.

I ordered an OP GMF blue dail. It'll take like a month to arrive but I'm curious, since I couldn't find more reviews: Which OP 41 rep would be the best in your exes and why?

I'll make a small review as soon as my OP arrives, promised! ;)

My EFW41 PO Tiffany arrived. Sized up and taking it for a spin today.

First impressions: the blue is mesmerizing. Fit and finish is decent. winding is cheap. clasp lock is a little weak. Sel is acceptable.

I am curious as to who would be able to service the 3230. I am looking for rotor silence and smooth out the winding.

So received my GMF A2824 movement today. Was recommended by a friend to go with the GMF

The clasp is a bit rattly. I have a BP Airking, that bracelet is solid and is near the genuine one, as I have the genuine Airking. The GMF bracelet is a bit light.
The crystal is not the best also. Am I asking too much for $350?

I soaked my ewf bracelet in oil for 3 days. That stopped the rattling for the most part.

The clasp is a bit week and the edges are not refined. Not sharp, but not smooth.

Not asking too much. GMF is supposed to be upper tier quality. In reality I don't see any difference from BP besides cost.

Is the OP41 similar dimensions to the datejust 41, in the way that the fluted bezel would fit and maybe the bracelet. I saw on another dealers site that the gmf was on jubilee as an option. Maybe the ARF DJ41 oyster would fit? I have a gmf op incoming so maybe I’ll try it.
I always though the op41 used the same hands and crystal but with out cyclops as the DJ41.

Bracelet on BP Airking is slightly different than gen - look how bracelet is assembled with the clasp, there’s bo adjustment.
how does thickness of caseback on the BP air kind compares to gen? Isn’t it slightly thicker?
