Hey all,

I have this watch that I've probably owned for at least 4 years now, which I am getting ready to list for sale, but I have no idea what the make is. I've taken some photos, as well as one of the moment.

I know I paid a pretty penny for this a while back. The issues is that this was before the crash and I haven't been able to locate the thread. I remember it being said that it either had a gen or somehow-upgraded date wheel. Other things I can note is that SEL fit is amazing, the dial has some of the brightest and easiest to activate green lume I've ever seen on a rep. It also appears to have a clone movement. Anyone have any ideas what the base of this watch is?

Thank you!

well, it could be a TC v1 (stamped 93250) or a JF (stamped 93250), as both this bracelet for the sub. should I be wrong, I am grateful for further information. greetings sr

It definitely wasn't a TC, it wasn't that much money, it is stamped 93250, I am going to go with JF.

The photos aren’t too helpful, but I’d suggest JF too, by the look of the insert colour, pearl and the slightly greyish dial print. All my Kermits light up like a Christmas tree at the slightest opportunity - probably due to the jumbo lume plots.

Tiny crown guards suggest JF as well

Main difference I see is mine has the rehaut engraving.

Good luck

I'm 98.7% sure this a JF, had a few of these back when they just came out in 2017. As mentioned above, the stubby crown guards and greyish dial print are huge pointers to JF, and also the almost squarish date window and given that it's mounted with movement tabs as TC and the BP 3135 sub I had both had cut outs for screw mounting for movement.

Your minute and hour hands are looking pretty misaligned though

It's an early JF with an SA3135 before the SH3135 was fitted to them. The SH is a better movement but still not nearly as reliable as the VR3135. Not a big setback really, I would replace either the SA or SH if keeping this piece.
