For reference, here is a 28mm M6 that Tim showed me. I haven’t studied this one Per se in great detail but just throwing it out there:

For comparison here's a video of a gen 178240, a 31 mm Rolex with Roman index. https://youtu.be/hbMLOn2BCe0

To my eyes there are several big differences between the gen and the VR rep shown in the video linked above. First, the gen oyster bracelet has polished center links and on the VR rep the links are all brushed. As noted by the poster above, the rehaut looks too deep as does the case. The gen is 10.4 mm thick and the VR rep is 12.5 per the QC pictures above. The font and the spacing of the words Oyster Perpetual is cramped and just looks off. I could go on, but why pick the watch to death.

I've have purchased about 6 of these 31 mm models made by BP and have to say some are great, almost bang on with great movements and some are not - funky cyclops, cheap movements, etc. I was really hoping for a step up in ladies Rolex reps, but at this point I don't think we've found it with the VR.

I looked it up and the 2017 models are roughly 11mm in thickness. I’ve seen 11mm even, 11.2mm. Here is an example:

I look forward to seeing your wrist shots when the VR arrives. I've been thinking about getting the ARF 36 mm DJ. Have you looked at those?

Those look really good. But they are only stick am I right? I’m not a huge Rolex fan to be completely honest. It is only since some of the newer models in gen have come out that I’ve found myself really liking them. I find the sticks sort of sterile. But this is obviously a matter of personal taste. Before I grew up and learned better I used Josh at PC and he sourced this 36mm for my cousin. If you like it I’ll dig back to confirm who made it:

I bought a similar 36 mm with Roman markers, but two-tone for my mom. It’s now being sent for a service. I believe it was a BP.

I saw an ARF 36 mm DJ, black dial with Roman markers on a Jubilee bracelet on a TD website - ChazingTime. I assume any TD could get the watch.

Yes they are worth every $. Be sure to keep an eye on the movement, since alot of SH3135 movements need a straight service. I was lucky with my 16610LV which was one of the best running out of the box without serviceing it.

Also for the Patek lovers here. I got a 37mm BP nautilus couple months back which are on sale for $188 with A2824. As a male, i got quiet skinny wrists lol

Sure - the AP quartz comes in a variety of colors and combinations. I got mine from InTime but anyone can get you one. They are great. Check InTime website. Let me know if you don’t find what you’re looking for.

Regarding Rolex, they are all a little flawed in their own way as you can see on this thread (in the 31mm dimension anyway). Look @ both the BPs and VRs earlier in the thread. If you like the two watches equally I would go for the AP which is less common and has much more subtle tells. I’d also suggest you look at the 32mm ladies nautilus. Also quartz. That’s my favorite (maybe...all good choices). Feel free to ping me if you need any follow-up. Good luck !

Update: I just approved these 31mm on intime (BP). Again very limited Dial options but I like this. Think it’s a keeper.

See the updated photos from InTime below. Approved QC for a 31mm BP Rolex DJ MOP Dial.

Looks good.

I’m a happy customer! I actually ordered the plated Patek nautilus but it was out of stock. I hadn’t seen this one until I was forced to choose something else. I’m happy because I ordered a VCA bracelet in white gold and MOP and they will go well together.

It is to bad that VR doesn't have the jubilee bracelet. I emailed with Tim and he confirmed they don't have these. So guys for a normal sticky dial, pink/rhodium/black fluted and jubilee bracelet, what 31mm version do you think come closest to the gen? Bp v2?
