Purerime just posted new 124270 from JDF. Any thoughts on that one?

Also saw this, and been after one of these fr a while, looks like they got the hands correct as least!

Puretimes Elena is telling me GMF and JDF having the same manufacturer. Hmmm.

Lucy is watching out too :)
Says she has no experience with the new model of JDF...

Apparently ARF is working on one too, but most say that ARF is hampered by the raids, so they wouldn't go with them, AND ARF is slow

Li ... see the post up here.

Just talked to Andy from Trusty, he confirms JDF and GMF are the same thing.

I suspected as much looking at the photos. Thanks for confirming. Still waiting on QC pics to share.

Received QC pics from Puretime of the JDF Explorer 36mm.

Reportedly the same as the GMF, but I will share them anyway. The watch looks quite nice to me. I did have a chance to try one of these on at the AD, and I must say this is quite a nice rep.

But the hands look thinner on the JDF version or? this would solve my problem ordering one immediately...

GMF has thinner hand too, compared to EWS

I think to concentrate on the lume at the minute hand is an important point :)

Yes, the GMF/JDF has the correct thin hand, while the EWF has a thicker hand. This is instantly obvious when looking at them next to each other.

Well congratulations ower , that looks lovely! I am really tempted. My only concern is the use of a clone movement instead of just a good old 2824.
