Not JF but if you guys check out Trusty’s web page you’ll see a banner for a 1:1 Royal Oak Chronograph by OM Factory. Curious to see this.

Entire line of APs from JF will be updated
- Thread starter thrillofhunt
- Start date
on the chinese forums it says, that OMF has a new movement for the ROC... with correct height and sub dial spacing... I highly doubt that haha
this picture is from HKRWF.com (don't have access to the forum so no better pictures or information)
the dial looks a bit like the V1/V2 of the 15400 from JF to me - so this could be the rep... and if so - let the franken game start haha
I am not an AP expert, but here is my opinion:
The new rep cyclops is more reflective than the Prof V2 2AR.
The new rep cyclops has alot more optic distortion than the Prof V2 2AR--viewed at an angle the numbers deform.
Prof will analyse the new JF rep cyclops soon. Perhaps he will add more magnification to his cyclops design.
Let the cyclops war begin.
(I still prefer Prof V2 cyclops over new JF rep cyclops).
As for DW, JF copied Mike's print, simple as that.
Because they were scanned off of Mike's DW, the JF DWs have poorer alignment than MIke's DWs and the white ones have a wrong background color (white, not ivory).
(I prefer Mike's DW over the new JF DW).
I want to confirm what some of you already know: Mike stopped 7750 and 28xx DW production and he has virtually no stock left.
:newconfus:
You will not be able to upgrade your old DWs on older models unless you already have a Mike DW for your model in your possession.
People who did not buy these DWs when they were in stock did not realize how good they had it when he was producing them.
For the time being JF and XF have a monopoly on better quality DWs.

It's not on puretime or other TDs yet but I'm guessing by this the other updated 44mm's are coming very soon.
This one seems to have a old date wheel that's only magnified (comparing the 8 to Mikey's 8)

Does anyone know if JF are planning to update and rerelease also the Barrichello models?

They prob will but no one knows if they will get the correct dw color right. If you do some reading you will find out that the current Classic dw JF made is the incorrect color and Mikey is not making anymore which were the best and still are the best date wheels out there. Please try and read the thread a bit and you will find everything you need to know.

No but I will tell you that the latest dial looks awesome and is grey from what I’ve seen on IG. I’m sure they will do this but isn’t that a classic date wheel? It seems they are doing those last and getting all the modern black date wheels out of the way first.
That would be nice and I would order it instantly. It’s the best looking AP ROO (IMHO).
Still eagerly awaiting for them to update the original RG 26400RO 44mm with the updated cyclops and dial logo. Have a few of the last Mikey DW's ready and waiting for the 44's.
