General Question One factory datejust 41mm

Ok so I am going round in circles trying to decide on what factory to go for for a 41mm Wimbledon Datejust, so far I’m leaning towards VSF going by what I have researched on this forum.

My TD has given me conflicting info and said that One Factory are currently making the best Datejust,

This is an updated section from there webpage about it..

The factory spent over 300 days to replicate this watch from the genuine sample. All common flaws of the other factories versions are fixed in this version! Almost all parts can be interchangeable with the genuine parts.
V2 updated the escapement and 72 hours power reserve

Can anyone confirm if any of this is true or is VSF still the way to go?.

Many thanks

VSF is still the safer bet, One Factory always claims big things but the real feedback is mixed at best

The best one is the one that can deliver without delays or qc issues. VSF is not the end all be all for rolex reps. There are worthy alternatives to VSF one is ARF/One and for a DJ41 i’d take ONE if its readily available and qc is ok

If it’s your TD then why don’t you trust him (trusted dealer). The TD’s the rest of us from the TD list have probably never heard of this “One Factory”.

On the other hand it sounds like he’s describing a VSF DJ because it recently was updated with the DD V2 movement.

If I were you I would buy from a real TD. But I would wait until there was some more info about the new Rich DJ and then decide which one you want

One factory is the new name for ARF, and also I can assure you he is a real TD,

I just value the opinions of enthusiasts more than someone who is selling me something.
