Rolex Air king 116900 BP or JF?
- Thread starter LaPavel
- Start date
Yeah, Ryan it has for 318 $. It is the best choice for me. My bp will arrive next week. Dial looks perfect for me, sel looks better than jf. Price is luxury. Bp has good made and feel, hope... Why is jf more expensive??

My BP will be here tomorrow. Ordered from an RWI non trusted vendor who I have had great experience with. Yeah I'm not sure what warrants the $50 JF premium over the BP. They both have the same SA3131 movement.
I have only noob datejust 2 at home. I can compare both. Bracelet feel etc. You can post pic here after receive?
Movement is hidden factor
. I wrote Ryan if BP made with different movement? He said to me. BP make only with 3131. I would like this watch with eta or clone eta.Should be getting my JF today or tomorrow. Will post as soon as I get it.

The bracelet on this airking JF is quite amazing. I just recieved an explorer II Pola 2 days ago and the bracelet is in no way as good as this bracelet.

Air King 116900 from JF with SH3131 - Perfect choice !
I bought this watch from Sead . Order and shipment 100% trouble free. I have this watch non stop on the wrist for 2 weeks and I’m more than happy with this Rep. Absolute nothing to complain: Movement is running perfect, power reserve app. 40h. The complete watch and especially the wonderful dial looks perfect gen-like for me. Bracelet and clasp is made in outstanding quality. Even the weight & height is gen-like : Rep = 153 grams, Gen. 155 grams. Height of the Rep. is app. 13,5mm, Height of the Gen. is 13,3mm. In direct comparsion to my PP 5711 Rep this watch shows even better quality in these (for me) essential points.
Cheers

The JF bracelet is very very nice, I love it! Feels real, is smooth and the weight is nice. I just got a noob explorer II and the bracelet is really bad, sharp edges and too light weight. Will be putting a NATO strap on the explorer until I can find a good rep bracelet for it. The JF’s bracelet is top notch!

How good is sel on jf and bp? How is bp bracelet and clasp (click sound)? Has sharp edges or all is ok?
For my eyes has both jf off centered crown at 12.

Yes, you are right as far as the Rehaut Crown is concerned: Crown is some micro Millimeter off center,
BUT : Believe it or not: an off-Center-Crown can happen to you too when you by a Gen. If you search the Rolex Forums , eg with „ GMT BLNR with Crown off center „ you can read, that an AD will tell you, that there is a Rolex-Tolerance which has to be accepted ...So why should I complain about an off center crown on a rep?

And unless some looks at it through a loop, no one in real
Life even with it in their hands could see that at all.
It is easier to see these flaws when you can zoom the picture.
I love mine (JF version) the bracelet is sweet and very GEN like to me and that is all that matters.

My BP arrived today. Really happy with it. Substantially heavier than my TC V7 Sub. Bracelet is solid, a tad squeaky, but an oil bath resolved that.
We’ll see how accurate it keeps time over the next week or so.
