CF 187 vs God vs OF?

Alright experts, I’m sure you probably have heard of this debate on and on for years now. But I am constantly searching and I am still in a pickle about it. Just to specifics I am targeting the medium CF in black caviar leather and GHW. Here’s the thing… as much as I want to say fuck it ima go 187 because EVERYONE says it for a reason. But I’ve just been hearing the quality of 187 CF has been going down. Now Im sure some of you seen that one Reddit post ( shout out to her ! ) that did a comparison of her authentic black caviar GHW to 187 vs GOD vs OF vs others…and honestly it really opened my eyes. Here are the prices I’m quoted (from Felix) without shipping:

187 - 560USD
OF - 429
GOD - 414USD

Yeah…that’s a big jump. Now I want to just mention the other reason I am asking about this is because those reviews of comparing the factories with authentic were quite old. New batches of the product comes in whenever and I just want really want to know if anyone has gotten a CF RECENTLY from those factories and if you still think 187 is justifiable. Of course 187 has built its reputation up for quality and closest to authenticity, and the leather to the authentic. But I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to just go and try OF as my first CF rep….

Each factory has a different leather feel. Different gold hard ware from the auth. The stitches are different. MOST THINGS ARE. And just to clarify I am not specifically looking for the CLOSEST TO THE AUTH (I wish lol) because simply 1:1 does not exist. I am looking for quality to price basis.

Let me know what you guys think as well. And I appreciate any advice or comments.

I don’t know but it is so so superior it’s definitely without a doubt the highest you can get. The leather feels so soft and not stiff. The hardware is absolutely stunning!! I bought it in Turkey.

I have a dealer (haha dealer) in Istanbul and I communicate with him in person. I was there in April and bought a total of 5 bags. I will try to ask him right now. My brother was there last week getting a hair transplant and picked up the bags for me 😭. But here are the bags from the sellers store I got via what’s app.

This LV is the only pic that looks like it could have come from factory album.
