Perhaps marker at six is slightly crocked
They are. I asked for a jubilee to be fitted as I think the sel is better fitting than the oyster version just released but wanted the blue dial!

Do you have qc pics of the oyster bracelet? Do you think its an inherent design problem of the ARF oyster bracelet in general or did you just get a bad batch ?
Congrats on your Datejust its the best rep 36mm I have ever seen. Unreal!
I haven’t bud as I never wanted this version on oyster and I won’t receive and oyster bracelet. Looking at the pics the recess and length of the sel looks much better on the jubilee. The oyster sel looks a bit longer than gen and looking at dealer pics it doesn’t look to fit and well.

2 part update.
1. The movement is beautiful but has a flaw. If the watch isn't worn or in movement for more than 2 hrs, it looses time.
2. I was at the bar in Shula's and a doctor sparked up a conversation. Next thing I know he is thoroughly examining the watch. Checking the bracelet, looking at the face, and bezel. Suddenly he flashes his wrist up and there is the same watch with the Roman numbers, same Bezel, colors, everything but older. He says, wow I got mine 15 years ago and really like the look of the new bracelets and that lumens setup. I went from thinking "I found a rolex expert and I'm busted" to the guy complimenting mine over his Gen.

These are the only ones I have.
I’ve also managed to find a gen roulette dw so this bad boy will be a fairly unique rep!!
These are the same watch head but with the oyster strap which I didn’t want.
With all those pics you have provided
I am definitely grabbing one once I sell my gen GMT Master II dial
Going to franken it with a gen black dial and gen date disc
But now i am stuck deciding if I should go for oyster or jubilee hmmmmm

I’ve got one being built with gen hands, gen rhodium Roman dial, and gen date wheel. I decided on oyster as I feel they wear larger on the wrist.
Omg! I’m looking for one as well! The roulette ones are so awesome. If you ever decide to sell the DW shoot me a PM

There is a cheap fix by swapping in a noob 3135 date disc for $25

Take the oyster bro.
Jubilee is nice but not as modern and easy to rebrush/polish as the oyster. I would say the oyster is also more versatile than the dressy jubilee.
The pics look AMAZING dont they? I mean the finishing of the brushed and polished surfaces is so good for a replica damn!
Now I am even considering this! But I would try to replace that movement with a swiss eta somehow, you got any advice for that?
SH 3135 is too unreliable for me
