To avoid some scammers to do profit by selling Jf pin buckles on ebay, C24, Trf... This is the comparison with JF and Audemars pin buckles.

As for a strap, case, and global finish, the genuine Audemars pin buckles are perfectly executed. Even if JF did a very good job on these three pin buckles, there is no doubt that the AP factory is in a completely other level.

More than words, picts :

Gen 24mm Ti at the top and at the right. You can noticed the gen 24Ti isn't as dark as the JF Ti buckle.

To finish, this is the difference when the pin buckles are mounted on a strap.
