Has anyone bought a Rolex from BP factory? Bpf?

I have two BPs, an OP 36mm black dial and an explorer 1. They are both solid watches imo, the explorer 1 (39mm) actually is the best you could find at the time and still is. Both have ETA clone movements, both run like a champ after one year +.
It's simple watches and BP can do those good, I don't know about the DJ.
The important thing is that you like it. If you're worried to be "outed" as so many irrationally do, don't worry, even a midtier rep will look the part for 99% of the population. Those in the know are either here or won't ask anyway. Just enjoy it.

I’ve had numerous BP reps - my very first rep was a DSSD D-Blue that I deeply regret selling. I’ve still got several. They’re not perfect - non-gen construction (I’m looking at you, weird circlip fastened bezel construction) and 316 stainless - but nonetheless, BP offers amazing bang for the buck quality.
Their dials are so good they’re sometimes used in preference to top factories’ versions in custom builds. I have a Franken Kermit with a BP dial, and recently received a BP Hulk dial (thanks @P..DR..D !) that I plan to use in a Hulk build.

I think the Franken builds are so cool and interesting and I never knew that was a thing. That is so beyond my realm though. I'm still learning about the different parts and that different factories make better parts, etc. It sounds like BP will be a good start for me.
BP Exp1 too
I love it.
SEL perfect
Rehaut perfect
Crown etching at 6 on crystal perfect
Polished bezel perfect
Chose it as first rep for the safe(ish) a2824 movement.
good choice for the DJ. Smooth bezel is good with BP at least from my exp1.
Fluted I might have said VSF instead.
enjoy the watch

I have a BP Rolex SeaDweller 16600, it's been modded and frankened a bit and I could'nt be happier with it.
Throughout the years BP remains a solid option in the rep game.

One thing to keep in mind is that with some exceptions, BP is the cheaper sister of GMF. According to several TDs, they use the same parts for many watches, but GMF will have 904L steel. I've opted for BP over some GMF reps as the dial/bezel is the same.
I think the OP is now starting to realise that asking on a rep watch forum "Has anyone bought a BP Factory watch?" is like going on a car forum and asking, "Has anyone here bought a car made by Ford?"

You bought the exact spec I would go for if I wanted bang for buck. Hellova gorgeous watch!!!
GORGEOUS blue motif dial (Blue dials rock). GORGEOUS smooth bezel (If it had been BP's fluted bezel I would have been put off the watch for it's flutes being a little too sharp and spikey for my liking). I love that you've even got an oyster bracelet, the jubilee might have felt a bit cheap and flimsy but the solid construction of the oyster bracelet will pad it out a bit and give it a more robust feeling. So cool dude.

And here’s my BP TT - great value for money and the gold colour looks bang on
Has anyone ever bought a Clean Factory Rolex ? Help please !!
Here they are.....I ordered one for myself too (white dial). Don't be too hard on me. This is entry levelI do not own a gen Rolex and I don't have any rep Rolex's either. I wanted to try one that wasn't expensive so I ordered one from BP factory from Jtime.
