wow, great to see another player in the Rolex rep market. No expert on subs, but the numbers on the insert look too thin

Green bezel is J12. On the first pic that would be the one on the right.

Cheers.for some reason there's no color showing up on the photos.the j12 looks to have better crown guards and pearl then.one thing I notice on some inserts is the lack of that high gloss you see on gens.not sure if you can buff them up.
I haven't heard of this maker.is there any pricing on this yet bm

j12 has much better crown logo on the dial. This is the dealbreaker for me when it comes to noob v2/v3. CG's definitely look more accurate and crown seems to be as good as noobs. Nevertheless, the insert is too thin and still white and not platinum color.

Pretty sure this is preliminary samples expect the finish product to be a step above anything current in the market. Be patient, if the J12 AP models are any indication what's in store for the Subs you can bet they will be the best Subc around. My FC 44 is incredible compared it with a gen locally and it's spectacular

Wow im so lost, feels like my first day on the forum again. Feeling like a bit of an idiot here for 2 reasons.

1. Keep reading more and more about J12 maker. Who is this is where did they come from??? To clarify, this is not a different name for BP right?

2. Beamer, is it me or are all of your picks black and white? I can not see any color in any of those photos. Are the photos coming out this way for anyone else

I am not the best photographer in the world, but I did not take these. This is what I received, and I shared it. It would be nice if they were better quality, but they are samples. It's not a finished product. Take it for what it is.

J12 does have a great track record in the AP world. No, this is not BP.

For those who don't know J12 makers are a relatively new rep factory, that got their name for making a pretty accurate Chanel J12 Ceramic. However their noticeable achievements have been from challenging Noobs monopoly on APs and have produced some really great models - the FC Diver, v5/6 Diver, FC 44mm AP ROO as well as the upcoming Bumblebee, SIHH 2014 42mm APs, Navy Themes, and many more rumoured models.

Looks like this is their first venture into Rolex, and while it may not look the best atm, as infamous said, they're definitely worth keeping an eye on if past quality of their reps say anything
