The Dial/Movement is also not 100% centered. On the left (9) is more space to the rehaut as on the right (3) - there is also a little play and the rehaut will be more aligned :)

OK, thanks, I'll give it a go then, I'm tired of waiting..

Hey all!
In your opinion, servicing factory seals and replacing tube and crown with gen will be enough to provide waterproof for swimming and snorkeling?

with respect!

Got my JF v2 today.
Ok, the number 3 is slightly more rounded.
But other than that, it's a super-rep.
I had more than 30 reps, and this is one of the very best. The bracelet, the brushing, the printing, the finish...it's as good as it gets.

Thanks for the photos and sharing your experience with the watch. It looks superb indeed. Wouldn’t mind seeing more photos for sure.

I know, but my OCD will eat me alive if I accept this. Plus I'm a serial flipper and I KNOW that everybody will pick on this when I put it on M2M.
I think it's off by quite a bit:


Hi. I'm planning to order and just had a quick question. Do you mean it's off-center as in the rolex crown on the rehaut should be aligned to the 12:00 marker? Just trying to understand how it's off. Thanks!

New to the rep world and looking forward to making my first purchase. Just received my QC for my first rep of a JF v2. I'm comfortable accepting, but wondering if there's anything significant that's worth rejecting?

These are excellent. Is anybody doing similar work on the older 36mm model?
thanks!

I see no issues, take it! Rehaut is perfect. All the way around.

Exactly, the crown should be aligned to the 12 o'clock marker.

Swiss made should be more thicker and wider, longer S

Rep hobby is not the right thing for for you if you're this anal, trust me.

Nobody walks around with a loupe and a gen Explorer and has enough guts to tell you to take your watch off so he can compare them.. I think you're safe with that thin short narrow S..

Awesome thanks for letting me know. I have my order in and I'm waiting for QC. This is helpful for me to know what to look for.

-Check text for E XPLOR E R fix
-Check SEL fit
-Check alignment of rehaut

Anything else you guys think I should be mindful of besides the standard and specific to this rep? Thanks.

You're welcome :)

There are no other specific issues with this watch.

Check for lume application and if the markers on the dial are properly applied. I can't think of any other things to look for.

This little fella was just unpacked in my car right outside of the post office :) There are stickers virtually all over, no part is unprotected. It feels very well made and my TD even took care of the misaligned rehaut, it's perfect now. I quite like the size on my 7.25" ( 18.5cm ) wrist.

How far off from the JF are the BP and/or Noob. I would prefer not to mess with the SH3132
