I recently decided on the JF v5 - at the end of the day they will both be fantastic watches so I wouldn't overly worry which you go for.

The reason I ended up chosing the JF over noob is because all the AP's I've bought recently the overall finishing on the J12/JF is superior over noob & noob crystals have always been shit - to me the overall finishing is more important than if the seconds hand is slightly grey but everyone's different.

The JF i've ordered is for a mate who hsa been doing some work for me but I'll make sure to get some good pics of it up when it arrives.

My v5 arrived yesterday from Ryan, the hand is most definitely not grey..

You can tell on his site that angus has shot the photos to make the noob look better than JF. The v5 is awesome, it was ordered for a mate but I am genuinely considering getting one.

It's the perfect daily beater IMO, it's so light and comfortable and v stealth mode (even with the yellow) so not everyone will pick up on it. The crystal is pretty decent but I'd still recommend throwing a guru MD crystal on there if you have one.

Yeah buddy - that's what is shown in my pics above, v5 (mine was from inTime too) :D

That one was for a friend who has been helping me out with jobs on my new flat but after seeing it on his wrist for a couple of days last week I think I'm going to have to get rid of something from my box and pick one of these up, awesome!

You sure I can replace this JF v5 crystal with MD crystal from guru's previous run?

How about the pattern of the FC between these v5 and v4?

Even after buying 3 GP FC cases from imaknockov, he denied he was even making FC Diver cases to me when I queried. As it is, I actually can accept a wide variety of FC patterns (even the "woody") as it is such an aleatory material to throw to Shiva.

Will wait for a Noob v6 and JF v7. They will most certainly be out next year. And I will slap on a Noob XS strap once it's available and that will be one rep that's good out of the box.

Better still, a miyota movement. Haha

Not sure if it's true but quite a few forumers mentioned that the JF factory made XS strap doesn't fit the Noob FC case though.

Can someone verify and chip in? Cheers ppl!

JF XS strap doesn't fit straight onto any of the noob cases, you have to/get a modder to drill slightly wider holes through the end links then it apparently works (v easy mod if you have the right equipment).
