Mini Review Datejust 31mm GMF

[Th4ySoN]

Hello All,

This is more like an firsts impressions of this watch I just got from JTime.
Paid $358 + $35 shipping.
Order: 22/02/2022
Delivery: 21/03/2022

I must say this watch is truly an OOTB ready watch, it feels gen-like and everything is on point. As this is like a mini review, I’ll give a score 1/10 for each point I think is worth 10 being gen.
So let’s go!

Dial: 9
Hands: 8
DW: 7
Bracelet: 8
Crown: 8
Crystal: 7.5
Bezel: 7
Case: 9
Clasp: 7
Rehault: 5 (but it’s so tiny it kinda doesn’t matter)
That sums an average of 8.4 for this watch just out of the box.

Points noticed in order of they were actually noticed (so far).

- The first thing I noticed was the quality of the dial, it’s just in your face VERY good.
- The winding strange and heavy, but it’s doesn’t looks damaged or not just odd. It can be an issue but so far is keeping good time. I’ll check it with a watchmaker for sure.
- The rehault isn’t perfect but it’s finest.
- The diamonds are not as shiny as I imagined which is s good thing tbh.
- Date jumps at 12am as expected.
- The datewheell has room for improvement but is not possible a gen upgrade due the movement not being a clone.
- Crystal on point just missing some good reflections but no point in swapping to gen.

Out of the box I would say there’s no rep I’ve seen so far that is such an immediate success. All the Mrs friends loved it.

Here’s a bunch of pictures, I just took many and without selection I’m sharing all of them.

Yes mate obviously

When I gave her a gen Op pink she never used it cause she was afraid to damage it. So I sold that on profit for her and bought a few reps that she’s not afraid to use at all cause she know they are cheap and replaceable

For the wives, reps seem the best method tbh lol. I've heard so many stories where they just don't wear it very often.

I order a 28 GMF datejust and paid a premium for an Asian ETA movement. We I looked to have it serviced it had the cheapest generic Chinese movement I had ever seen. Essentially it was a $10 movement. The trusted dealer was very good an offered me a full refund.

Perhaps worth checking the movement

Which movement was it?

I recently got the same watch with silver dial with diamonds, i can say this white roman dial looks closer to gen. If anyone wants to buy, choose this exact model for best gen-look like @NewtUK said

@NewtUK Hey Newt, this video and writeup was fantastic!! Thank you!! I wondered if the stones on the bezel are still a bit shiny or if they stopped shining over time, please?

You chose such a perfect watch in terms of looking closest to gen for a women's watch. It's so tricky! Super job!
