On TS station (non TD) they kicked a bunch of old lmtd editions with updated cyclops and DW like the Ginza etc...

Wondering why they are reheating old meals that didn't taste well in the past... rather than concentrating on the important things hehe
Nah, the DWs are still wrong for these classic pieces. It should be serif fonts. Seems like this TD is BSing.

lots of gen owners who had the classic white dw changed to modern black..which I think looks sleeker on this

bottom line is both could be correct

i have the bad feeling they mix things up...

in the pictures of the newly listed modern font DW's every number looks like the old shitty font but with a better magnification...

that is very sad. they abuse their position in the AP game so bad.

They did this on a few 44mm models.

the old panda 44, the carbon 44 and the combat 44 for sure have the right "mikey clone" / gen-like font.

They sure did buddy, you are correct! Theirs on left VS TheDons on right, of course with an added grey dial lol

Looks like they only changed the Cyclops and logo, but not the datewheel.

yeah it is a shame... like they ran out of new style DWs...

they abuse their status or role in the AP rep game. They realize they can make what ever they want to do while the majority is still buying those "updates"

(don't get me wrong - some of the 44mm and some 42mm ROO are nicely done now (even if Mikeys DW and Cyclops is a bit more refined))

That really is a shame. You can see now they describe them as "w/cyclops" and leave out the DW. They must have run out but what kind of update is that? Screwed up.

Just got my Havana today from Puretime and I’m SO happy. I looks extremly nice. I know there are all the standard flaws, but if you can live with those - it’s a beatiful watch!

Has anyone heard whether JF have any intention of updating/improving the 15450? I have the blue dial and I love it and am itching to get the other colours but am reluctant to pull the trigger because knowing my luck if I do the next day an update will be announced

Hoping they update the Jarno Trulli - yet I saw a video on Youtube of supposed v2 and it still had the ridiculous dark dial
