Hello guys,
I have a gen 3120 movement and a gen Bracelet. Can anyone tell me if this would fit on the JF V2?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the side by side mate. I own a JF 15400 blue dial with prof Xtal and it is amazing!!! I also performed the rotor silencing mod and it is now as quiet as a mouse. Its amazing to see how close to the gen it is. An acquaintance recently spotted my watch and asked if he could have a look (whilst on my wrist). He previously worked in a watch boutique and sold many APs. He did not believe me when I said to him it was a rep!!!!!!!He though it looked amazing. I absolutely love mine!!!!!

have you compared the JF blue to the Gen blue?
just curious of how close the color is.
also, does the JF have a black datewheel? i believe the gen has blue datewheel. correct me if i am wrong!

Saw the gen in Rome recently for those asking about the gold, here's an up to date reference in the flesh

I saw the pic you posted first, and was talking to myself "Wow, JF has really improved their minute markers." :)

That why I wrote not 100%? :D

I think in a near future they will be almost-almost 100% but in a fear future wrist luxury watches won't be that popular.
There are less and less people buying them.
I think they are losing their cool factor and I think watch companies know that.

Hey buddy - what do you plan to install on your gen movement? Believe it or not, gen movements are easier to find these days than the right dials and hands for them! I am somewhat able to source quite a few AP spares and those 15400 dials and hands are quite hard to come by, and when you happen to come across something parts are extremely overpriced: 1500 for a second hand black dial, 3000 for a blue dial, etc.

Just a point if you haven't considered this - the case is the least of your problems I believe.

Good luck in your build anyways

Hello Tosoboso, thanks for your info. I have the origina movement, the original black dial and I can buy a set of original hands. I just eanted to know if this would fit in any of the cases of the reps. As I have that sitting on a box, i was thinking of making a franken, but I dont know if it's possible.

Great comparison, thanks for this! Never been too much into AP tba. until this comparison ^^
Regarding the thickness tell you mention: the added thickness on the rep seems to be more on the bottom, 'beveled ' part, am I right? So is not really showing up on the wrist anyway?

Added thickness is on the gen not the rep, and yeah it's on the bottom
