The best version is still GSF, but they don't seem to be interested in making it anymore :(

Anyone can tell me something about the dial color accuracy on the silver/white/gold? EWF or GSF, which one is more accurate in terms of dial color? I see almost anyone have this color, makes me wonder none is decently accurate….I love it so much… Many thanks!!!

Very interesting thread.

Anyone that has a recently purchased OP rep, would be very interested in photos and opinion please.

What’s everyone’s take on the best factory for accuracy on OP’s then?

There seems to be no good rep for this model. Too bad because it is a beautiful watch. I have the gen and I would like to compare him to a good rep when there will be

I got last week the 41mm and 31mm Tiffany Blue from EWF (Best Edition) and both watches looking amazing - realy damn close to the gen.
But i have to sold the 31mm, because it was for my girlfriend, and she hang off with me, 2 weeks ago.... ;-(

It’s been a great solid watch for daily wear.
A2824 winds smooth and keeps very good time.
Good SEL gaps and I think the hand length for both minute and hours is very good on my example.

The blue dial colour could have been a bit more immersive and the applied text isn’t as thick as I’d like. It’s a bit thin and doesn’t have the same raised thickness as gen… but hey… overall I’m very happy with the GMF and the bonus 904L case and bracelet.

I wouldn't say noticeably bulbous... I didn't belive you at first but when holding them side by side, I can see it.
Not sure if that's a 41mm to 36mm diff or just a GMF thing, but either way it's a subtle diff.

Any one know if the GMF would take a gen bezel?
Dropping a gen dial and bezel wouldn’t be expensive.
What could be done about adding Easylink? Not having Easylink is painful for me as the wrist expands.

The applied text looks great to me, the bezel is definitely wider than gen though imo

Hi guys! What exact flaws do you see? updated JDF vs gen

Thicker indexes maybe? Solid-void relationship seems different. Gen seems to breathe more, although the watermarks on puretime's pic disturb the visual

The bezel is not good ( in relation to gen ) but only really noticeable when comparing with gen side by side.

The “thin” text I’m referring to is in raged around the bottom 2 lines “superlative chronometer” etc
If you see the gen that are applied much thicker.

Apart from that this watch is solid and very nice to wear.
