Entire line of APs from JF will be updated

[BIONONE]

BIONONE So a modder will service the watch and install the Mickey dw, correct? And which modded would you recommend ? Maybe an email address if you have it

better do a search aas it depends on where you are located and who has time to work on 3 watches.

at the moment i don't got any email address. like i said - do a quick search, you will find them modders maybe even in this thread

 

[BIONONE]

for our interest - a non TD confirmed that the updates will start to release in about a week or two.

lets see how trustworthy this information is haha :jeff:

According to my source, the price will be increased by 300 RMB. There are still no pictures available so far but the 4 main features of this update include
1. Gen like magnification on cyclops
2. Gen like date fonts
3. Gen like finishing on the case
4. New engraving techniques on the caseback.

I will post pictures once they become available.

curious to see what they are going to release, if new models or some re-issue

 

[SuperLory]

I recently read on the Chinese forums that one of the factories has been working secretly with a Swiss engineer who was previously employed by AP. More specifically, he was working on the concept movements, so it is expected that the said factory will be releasing a 1:1 copy of a recent concept timepiece. So I will keep my hard earned cash until that new model is released.

Now, jokes aside, JF and their updated versions of the good old models are a good entry point but they lack respect for the cusromer: there are so many flaws that no matter what improved cyclops or datewheel they invest in, these will never be at sufficiently good level to be more than 80-85% acceptable. The few real
exceptions are the hated diver and the FC models (esp. the 44mm ones). Why they choose not no pursue the development of a proper base movement (2 year old rumours of a new movement have been just that: rumours) is beyond me; charging $400-600 for a rep and selling 4-5 figure numbers a year should be sufficient motivating factor if I were a factory. But alas, I’m not and I wouldn’t care to be

So not holdind my breath (sadly)

you wish for 400$ for a ROO.. :/

Norm will be 628USD and the tachy still kisses the dw fondly and the hand base is as large as a pizza

I was about the pull the trigger on a Chronopassion, do you guys think such an old watch is going to get any updates at all? What version are we up to now for the JF ROO 42mm, V6?

Chronopassion by JF could still be bought later last year if i'm not wrong (i bough mine M2M from someone C&R)

 

[MarksandSpencer]

Isn't the thickness of the reps still 2mm off? Would rather they correct the thickness as the DW etc is an easier fix for modders.

thickness difference hovers between 1 to 1.4mm

that also can be addressed. the dw not in line with 2 and 4 no mods can fix

Did you find it at a TD? I asked Puretime as well as Intime and they don’t have it anymore :-/

Are you sure about that? I just asked Puretime TODAY and they said they had it in stock. Who replied back to you at Puretime?

Why does the dial logo not look the same on the RG - Don't tell me they F\ed it up on purpose.

It looks different to the recent carbon 44mm or the panda one below.

It even looked different to the summer edition dial logo

Posting this even if its a non-TD:

Doesn’t look like an updated one. Grey color still too dark. Date font and cyclop look old. A bit of spacing on tachy but this flaw has always been less obvious/minimized for the Trulli model. Hand base still thick.

Again not sure if this is updated but it’s in the “New” area of TSWatch.

 

[Yellobird]

Trulli trully rocks. But this is not the updated one. I think it even comes with undecorated movement.

 

[SuperLory]

Buemi and trulli surely are the ones they should look at since the dw flaw is less evident.

Well and if they want to release blue or white batons hell yeah please

Every batons 42 basically. Yep. +1000000

Brushed bezels could have been bought months ago. I modded all of my 44’s already with updated bezel...

I’m not sold on the cyclops though...

Did anyone see my post on another thread? The new JF cyclops doesn’t look deep at all and having the Sincere in hand, I’m updating that cyclops because it’s not as good as modded or prof.

Actually, now that you've mentioned it -- magnification is better but depth wise so-so

 

[TheDonSL]

Exactly, font is fine on dw, not sure about classic ones though since they did white instead of ivory for Sincere. But yes, depth is not as good on new JFs.
