Rolex datejust 36 116233 ARF vs GMF vs DJF

[Abduljay]

Thanks a lot for the info! I want a jubilee so I guess the noob 41 is my best bet then. Do you have an in hand pic of yours? I won’t get the RG but YG. Any idea how the color compares to gen??

If you want 41 then Noob is great choice.
But remember: Noob is Expert on submariner. Datejust is far away from that quality.

BP is way better. If you consider 36mm then Check out this one for example. You can search intime for more watches, they have great choices!

I think yellow gold is better than rose gold.

Good luck!

ARF 41 + A2824 + Jubilee would be great
ARF 41 + SH3135V3 (next version that isn't garbage OOTB) + Jubilee = Perfect

Fingers crossed and hurry the heck up!

So because of the wrapping instead of plating I was thinking to choose for 41 from noob. Now I read that the BP wrapped is better, also trustytime says that BP is superior then others.
So difficult!!

Back to the topic, any opinion on the 36 not wrapped GMF models?

Intime and puretime say arf for 36 and noob for 41 in their e-mail. Because they are not in stock i also e-mailed trusty and he says GMF for 36 and the BP wrapped for 41 (most expensive one)

Thanks for your answer.

ARF 36 is the best but the datewheel is totally of, anybody who bought the 36 gmf? It looks like the dail print is a little bit thin but the date looks good so far.

Wrong datewheel wouldn’t stop me from buying. On a 36mm watch this is totally not noticable. I had the BP daydate (day font was far from gen-like) and i even got compliments from other gen daydate owners while they were looking closely.

For me it will be arf 36 or noob 41 i guess. Still can’t decide which size i want. I really like 41 but on the other side i feel thet with a rep you should stay modest

What about this one:

Not sure why this one is being ruled out....Someone mentioned that the wrap looks sloppy; Can yall elaborate what that means exactly?
Midlinks are wrapped all around, looks like the color is decent in the QC Pics available also....I think the GMF should be a contender if anyone is seriously considering a YG wrapped jubilee

 

[SingG990]

Better, but man, that wrap looks sloppy. i really dont understand why they cant just electroplate all of the sides. I am going to guess its some kind of cost savings...or that the complexity of doing it does not matter to anyone.

Im not buying that wrapped one either. I am going to wait until someone figures out how to do it. Even Seiko messes it up:

Are the sells sides with gen covered with gold? I just checked my gen breitling and the sides are also SS

Not only are the sides of the Rolex jubiliee center links gold.....but they are gold through and through. Rolex does not plate their watches like the company you mentioned here.

Guys, just found a new 116232 YG plated Datejust by ARF on puretime, which was added to their website a few days ago. The inner links seem to be plated on the sides this time. Maybe its the angle, the shot was taken. Not really sure. DW is still of like before, therefore i dont know, if it is the same version we already have with strange photos...

On trustytime the seemingly updated ARF was also published with a video. It seems like the sels are actually gold plated on the sides. Unfortunately the crown is way to high on the dial - thats why i struggle to buy one atm. Old fat datewheel issue is still persistend.

Unfortunately also the new released ARF version seems not to be gold plated on the sides

Jep, ive just seen that too. Still a no cop for me. I would not care, if ARF charges 100 bucks more for a wrapped version as long as they offer one. This present version is an easy callout. Pretty sad...

guys, an interesting (similar) discussion has been taking place here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...40-what-is-the-best-36mm-rolex-date-just-ootb

DJF seems to be a clear winner (out of the box)

 

[deadpoulex]

Any updates on the two-toned model? Noob or GMF?

I'm thinking of purchasing the same DateJust 41 126303 Noob from Puretime

 

[repwatch78]

The GMF 36mm datejust with a 2824 are in every TD webpage now. Has someone purchased one datejust from GMF? I am still in the market for a DJ but I want the a2824, not the rolex clones. I liked the DJF but want a jubilee bracelet ( and dont want to buy a spare one from ARF), so I am thinking about the GMF. its 904 SS after all... anyone have tried the quality? thanks
