New decorated movement for AP divers.

[infamous18]

There is about 1mm free space still, LOL.

I hope you guys know you are getting a preview of the new generation of 15400s with these photos of the new decorated movement.

Better sell the old ones quick before they are devalued overnight. icard2:

Super!! I will be loading up on all the fire sales, love panic mode. Cash is ready for Panda, FC, RG, Schumi, $200 sell Now!!!! pm me I will help relieve you of your headaches [emoji39]

I don't think the "old" models will devalue overnight, no matter how nice the new decoration is it will take a while to prove that more potential loose screws and parts won't make problems.

I advise to hold on to your watches with the solid Miyota and A2824 movements and wait for more feedback.

So much more so for the rumored fully cloned AP 3120.

Personally, I don't see the added benefit of a slightly better decoration, it doesn't entice me as much as the thought of a fully cloned movement and I believe that is still a long while away.

Has noob even touched the 15400 before? We all know the Z factory 15400 are good. You never know how well noob would be able to make the 15400. I'll most likely be holding on to my miyota, no one gets to see the movement anyway...

I choose miyota over the a2824.. never have had any problems with the miyotas so far.. The miyota is a very nice update instead of de A2824 also how it looks! The rotors can have some loudness issues but not all. So maybe not as good as the new 3120 decoration but myota have proven itself in his own way of satisfying! Cant wait to read some reviews about the 3120.. hell yeah, I am hoping all comes together in perfection and reliability!! Cheers!

The Miyota is more reliable than the A2824 movement in my opinion, but I'll pick the A2824 for the reason that it can be converted to low beat. Different strokes for different folks I guess

Just wrote: I choose Miyota over A2824 for reliability. I will take some of the 3020s also after reading some reviews and get a GO sign from china.. just spread some experience. For a low beat, no other option.. total agree

I saw that from the other Chinese forum saying the JF movement for ROO chrono will be available by Jan/Feb...take that with a grain of salt...

I am holding my franken projects (gen parts collection) for the moment...

I am sorry but i read through and follow the watchbus forum closely.
The owner "Ah Bu Nong" did not mention a thing on full clone 3120.
So far this is the one which they are talking about.

Just curious, what's being announced here, is it JF's 3120 decoration? Can anyone translate please.

Anyone received or ordered the new ceramic divers from Noob with the updated decorated movements. How does it look in person and does it work fine with all those extra adjustments ?

No, I do not want to end my not over endless journey I did not stop looking at the pace had forgotten where you are Half brother sing ... the bulk came ... and asked me enough yet ... haha Closer to home JF A3120 will be a three-pin movement ..... about 10 days late than Noob If the goods are on the 1st of Noob. Bulk brother is about the 10th of the goods Noob A3120 currently loaded watches have. AP AP orange circle white pottery horses AP

Hmmm.... I haven't been following the forums closely the last couple of months, but I am glad to come back to find a new AP decorated movement. I hope they do a better job on these than on the A3135's. Guys, before you start selling off parts of your current collection to "upgrade" to this new movement, understand that these are a big risk. Sea-Gull makes a nice movement, but they aren't made to swiss standards and often need a good service to start off with. Those Sea-Gull movements than go to some other "factory" in a basement of a building somewhere, where illegal, aftermarket components that don't belong on the base movements are added by relatively unskilled workers in less than ideal conditions. The chance of getting grime, dirt, tiny screws, glue etc in your movement shoots up 100 fold. Maybe you get lucky and get a good one, but chances are (particularly in early batches) you're going go get a watch that needs some TLC. On an undecorated movement, this isn't a big deal and should cost you around a $100 or so. Depending on how those decorations are installed though, they can seriously complicate you're ability to service a movement. If they are screwed in, hopefully they did a decent job on the machining. If they are glued on--well, that can be a whole other problem. If you're diving in on a v1 of this decorated movement, be prepared to spend double on your service on top of the cost of purchase. Since no one but you actually will see the movement--it's on your wrist for christ's sake--you might be a lot better off with your standard A2824 or, even better, Miyota sans the fancy decorations.

True, the decorated movement probably looks better but would those parts make the movement any less effective , that's the big question. Since it not a full clone just a few added parts, I hope these factories took the time to make sure it doesn't disrupt the movement from functioning properly. As we all know sometimes with our reps, it's usually more 'quantity over quality' and making sure as many watches are produced in the shortest period, as a result lacking attention to detail .... I hope these movement are still as reliable because there would be no point icard2: BUT fingers crossed haha ...... Btw, anyone who receives it please could you give some feedback/review as it will be much appreciated
