Where the bluegrass sways!
So a sample size of ONE tells us that its a solid movement now? its hit and miss my friend, some people are fine, others have bought three and they all gone to crap. Its a mater of risk, just because it worked out for you doenst mean its safe for the rest of the world.

I personally will never buy one becuse I dont have a wathcsmith near by (even if you do, not all will agree to work on it), parts for it are hard to come by, with eta clone can just replace whole movmenet and everythong will fit, hands dial etc.

For me, not worth it, others are more dedicated to the hobby and dont mind spending more and managing it all, and thats all good too. One size doenst fit all here

No more hit or miss than any Chinese movement! All you haters keep your ETA clones, I’ll keep my SH/Yuki clones and when someone that knows Rolex see’s you winding or setting time on your watch they say hum fake see me winding or setting time hum real!!

I have the JF, the movement has been super reliable so far. Haven't even serviced it and a year has passed since I purchased it.

Looks Great! I’m just now finding out about the rep world. Seriously considering this watch as my first.

Well with the new Rolex movement (3235) the time setting is the same as the ETA clones now :) so its more accurate functionally to get eta clone than 3135 on some models

I’m hoping the make the LEC less visible on this next go around. I got rid of mine because I could constantly see the LEC on the glass on my wrist and it was an obvious tell!

More JF pics. I would say that the only fault on this watch is the clasp, that isn't firm enough and makes a sound when you press it. Rest is perfect. Hope I can replace JF clasp with ARF or the whole bracelet!

Laser Etched Crystal - and yes - most of this is getting wierd

I guess u would say having 3 grand in a franken I also weird? It’s the game and it is precise and weird and expensive! People complain and critisize and bash hell i can remember 6-7 yrs ago there was nothing but shit compared to now 904 was a dream as well as clone movements and a good and I mean quality rep at that time was thousands and yrs to acquire all the parts needed. Newer members are spoiled and have not a clue most of them! Just my 2cents!

Looking for an update too. I want to pick uo grey dial one with 3132 movt. I had a grape jf and it was an awesome watch. Regret selling it, but I think the grey dial will be more versatile.

It’s on puretime now: looks very impressive indeed. The Explorer font issue appears to have been addressed and the crown issue also appears to have been addressed. Will likely buy this after I see a side by side with gen!

Can't find it on puretime. It either says BP or JF. We need ARF.

It’s 100% there. Have a look again. It’s definitely ARF and directly references the steel upgrade. Puretime05.io
