New release: Rolex OP 124300 EWF
- Thread starter Sharp92
- Start date
Sold my EWF and decided to go with a ROF Yellow OP. It should arrive tomorrow. I noticed the dial was more mustard like and hand length is correct. Exited to see it in person. Here is one of my approved QC pics. No more fat bezel for me.

It seems like ROF is the way to go for now! Where did you get it from and what's the price? Thanks

After buying the VSF Kermit and seeing the quality, I completely agree

Thanks! The rotor isn’t loud compared to some miyota rotor issues that I’ve heard about. Let’s just say that if you were in a quiet office by yourself you’ll hear the rotor.
As for ARF or VSF repping this, waiting for the right version is all good. I’m just impatient and would rather have something now to upgrade to later

I received the EWF two days ago. I must confess, I thought it will be way worst than that, I'm impressed.
The problem is the length of the minutes hand, about 0.5mm too long.
For the rest, its very convincing
Here's the pics:

For anyone interested , ARF DJ41 jubilee fits gen OP41 like a glove!

Can I ask if you can measure the gen diameter and lugs?
I'm waiting for the EWF and I'd like to put the ARF Jubilee too. But I'm afraid that EWF case and lugs dimensions may vary

do not worry about that, it is better to have that small defect that can hardly be seen at a normal distance, than to have a case other than gen. So far the best op36, op41, op31, Dj31, DJ 36 cases, Ewf does. If the bracelets are a little lighter I don't care, My Op39 gen has the lightest bracelet of all my watches including the rep, ARF, noob, VSF and Ewf.

Helpful thread, thanks for all that have posted.
Some 6 or 7 months on since the last post, have there been any industry updates I should be aware of? Is EWF still the preferred choice or ROF now, or GMF, DRF, GDF, BPF? Any that I've not listed or considered? I see VSF and ARF mentioned, do they do the OP41, I can't find one.
Looking to pick up a silver dial.
TIA.

Are they recent EWF acquisitions? The minute hand is too short yet others, earlier in the thread, have shown pics of theirs with correct length minute hands.
It would be helpful if everyone actually posted the factory along with their pictures, the thread title can't be relied upon.
Bump to the thread.
General opinion on best factory for OP 36?
EWF? BPF? ROF? Any others?
Cheers
