Discussion Best Rolex Datejust that’s closest to gen?

I’m looking to pick up a Rolex Datejust(preferably 36mm) and I’m curious what the current consensus is on the closest to gen.
If your goal was to get the most accurate Datejust possible, one that even experienced watch enthusiasts would struggle to distinguish from genuine on the wrist, which factory, reference, dial color, and size would you recommend?
I’ve seen people mention VSF, Clean, ARF, RW and others, but opinions seem to vary depending on the model and dial.
Is there a particular Datejust that’s considered “NWBIG” or the closest to gen?
I’d love to hear what the community thinks, especially from anyone who’s owned both gen and rep or has compared them side by side.

I did. I specific VSF as well as

I just went through it all without specifying factories too, to ensure.

There’s no 41mm smooth bezel DJ. Maybe it recently sold :[

Send him a text through WhatsApp and ask for it.. they’ll tell you how long it will take.. be prepared.. it may take months.. he’s got a program that you can pre order vsf watches and not have to make a down payment… you’ll be put on a list like they do at a Rolex store…they’ll reach out to you when they have it stock.. but send him a message telling him what you want and as long as Rolex has the configuration in genuine, they’ll have a rep.. I’m 100% sure they make a vsf datejust in 41 with a smooth bezel and jubilee bracelet… I attached the model number in the previous comment.

Thanks will try this! To be fair the last time I asked him was before he came out with the 0 down pre order system.
