Comparing the new OMF to my JF V2J, I'd say that the bezel screws need work, but everything else looks good.
I can see the contention that the way the dial was made to allow for the printing is not the same as gen, but on the wrist that is 1000% unnoticeable as that level of detail is really teeny tiny. I would be hard pressed to notice unless I grabbed a loupe to really look for it, but if you are going to allow someone to loupe your watch and pass it off as gen, you are either a dummy or someone up to no good trying to sell a rep as gen.
I'd rather buy the JF V5 because their bezel screws are better and I'm willing to pay the $100 premium for just that detail alone. The bezel screws are a defining feature for this model and not something that needs to be louped to be noticeable. That said, if I ran in circles that don't know AP or don't care that I was wearing a rep, I'd pick that OMF and save myself $100.

I do not see that problem regarding the bezel screws
is it possible to swap out the OMF DW for a JF ?
Since they both use miyota 9015 i thinks it is.
Date font in pretty different between the white and right dials. The date font in the white one is horrible.
