How is the seconds at six, and they smooth?

Yeap very stable..you can check the iwc thread they have commented about the movement a lot and its the same one used at the new slim iwc chronograph..

Thank you for the review. I'm really tempted to order one now! Just curious are you planning on keeping it or going to sell and wait for the V2 in hopes of fixing the minor flaws you listed?

The biggest improvement by far is the sel and lugs. There are no gaps at all and the lugs have nice sharp edges not rounded like before.

Great detailed review that touches almost all key daytona aspects.

Make the same case and bracelet (gen thickness) and put the 23j back in and i'll be a buyer.

This non-working chrono just won't cut it for me

About the dial...if jf is in fact arf, why can't they just make the coronet as good as they do it for the oyster perpetual ???

All of this watches it's new and updated from any other previous version. They have copied partially 116500 ceramic daytoba dial.

SEL and lugs are improved but are different from gen. SEL has an angle that it's a bit down. And lugs give to this watch a "square" font effect like on JF 23J.

Anyway the AR factory it's JF at 100%. This was confirmed from TD's. You can also check yourself and ask from your dealer. This name it's just to mantain a low profile on JF factory during these difficult period of police raids in China.

well if y

well if you re willing to cut the feet of the gen dial then it will fit..because this one has the 7750
so,if i cut the fits its in.
Ok, now need to decide if do it on this version or wait for the A4130 clone

thank you for the great review - after your close up pictures I cant justify to spend this amount of money for a watch which still is that far away from gen..

Great review, thanks for this.

Just shows my point from the other thread though, why even bother with 904 steel when so many other blatant things are wrong.

Great review thanks. Many members here see flaws but if you wear the watch in the wild nobody will ever notice. Fakes have a reputation for looking fake - not like this.

I once had a 7750 Daytona and my friend who had an older genuine Daytona asked to see mine. He held it and noted "the new case is thicker." End of story.

Great review. This sure is an exciting release.

I need the travel case for my franken sub, I walk past The Hour Glass nearly everyday!

Nice piece and write-up.

Didn't know they used the Portuguese movement. Interesting for sure.

This is not a V1 mate.. How long has JF been making daytonas?? For a while now..
