Spotted these at Trusty. New release for september.
Haven’t heard about JVS before. Not all are marked JVS, only the a23j. The Miyota’s are yet unbranded.
What are your thoughts?

from my experience the 2824 seems to be the preferred option.
the miyota can be a noisy movement.
as I said , I am not sure if mines a keeper, and if another bronze pops up that I like, I may let it go.
will let you know mate.
I prefer to either trade or sell if I have a replacement lined up.
cheers,
grant.

Attractive watch, great size, bronze, for not much money. I personally like the Miyota as its a solid, not expensive, and easy to replace movement.

TBK I also like the JVS, but do have one concern.

When I looke at the tag on the JVC watch, It is like it is nog sitting flush against the watch.
Like if it is loose in the middle.

Yes, I see what you mean. However I don't think it will be a issue. But it most definitely be something to look for in qc pictures.

I do would have liked to see a 2824 movement, or a 9015....
