Is that ARF? Looks pretty good all stock or did you add Gen parts
Thanks. And actually it's a mildly Frankened JF. Gen bezel insert, date wheel, and auto winding assembly. The movement was serviced by misiekped. Other than that it's all JF.

Wow I'm impressed! The dial looks quite good and the hands as well! I wonder if the JF case is similar to the AR the crown guards look good as well.

Enjoy it mate looks great!

I don't own an ARF to compare it to, but rumor has it that ARF is using JF parts but is now making the case out of 904L stainless-steel as opposed to the 316L used by JF. That's the rumor on the street anyway.

Hi Guys,

Can’t stop watching all these 5 digit beauties. Have gen 16600 and want to Franken my JF16610:
-25-295-C2 xtal
-3135-16200 dw
-3135-145 automatic device module
-click spring as woppy bezel action bugs me (and daily use when cooking) but I believe aftermarket spring can already do the job

Is it me, (yes sure), but googled for a while now and can’t source any.
Can source xtal e.g. from evergreenparts or Clark but that won’t get me a Franken…

Can the experts give me some hints where to source these gen parts please? The M2M section is patient is my observation.

Thanks guys for any help here.

Best
RBDB (the Netherlands)
