There are not any reviews on this AP 15400 (modded by a probationary TD on the JF/J12). Technically it is available off the shelf at warchive. Consider warchive similar to TC, but on a larger scale. The chief complaint on the orig JF was the 1mm difference in thickness. Perhaps this modded version is something to consider?

Thanks for this list, has been super helpful! I've read elsewhere that the Explorer I 214270 JF v2 is a potential super rep if they would revise the ireggular spacing on the 'Explorer' text otherwise it's pretty much nearly a 1:1 clone minus 1 other discrepancy which hopefully a v3 will fix in a few months.

Chief complaint is poor minute markers and overall poor quality font on the dials!

What is the other discrepancy?
Have the factory confirmed they are working on a v3?
Thanks

Is this from a posted review or personal experience?

Minute markers are a known issue as is the poor "swiss made" printing. Also movement decoration, but that's the same with any open caseback watch. But those were the main complaints after the thickness which is now solved.

So.... No where near a super rep then?

Not from personal experience as in owning one, months of following the progress of this watch. It's well documented and evident from the photos within the AP section.

NWBIG, but not a super rep. Basically no watch with an open caseback can be a super rep as it's not something that can be fixed. The only ones that copy a movement that are open are the PAMs with the p3000 or p9000 super clone movements. The displayed movement has to be close enough that it can pass muster even under the eyes of a fairly knowledgeable person. For this reason, fantastic reps like the Noob CrPOs are not super reps either.
