Hands are different lengths? I think we may be looking at different pictures mate.
Who is going to look at your watch in the dark and say, man that lume is one shade too blue?

Look at the minute hand bro, it looks like two completely different watches! The length issue is extremely prominent.

That is absolutely not prominent. You are talking about .2mm that is unnoticeable in the real world, a non issue IMO.

This is where is would say that we have crossed the line of moving reps forward with constructive criticism to the point of nitpicking minutiae to the point of exhaustion.

TO ME, it seems just the angle and prospective.

Look other photos, with the watch close-up... to me there is no difference.

But the movement in JF is 3135 and I realized that it's not reliable like the 2836 Noob?

It needs a service immediately. In all honesty you should do the same with the a2836. They are assembled in very dirty conditions. Don't really understand why people don't factor the cost in when they purchase.

The SH movement came from the factory is dirty as hell. I sent it to Johnny to service.

Sorry, this is a common idea but not true for all.

My suggestion is to take the watch and use it as is. The SH is a Yuki and the parts are available so, wear it in good health and made a service when will be necessary.

I think you got lucky and were the exception not the rule. Yuki even advised himself to get his movements serviced as they were not ready out of the box.

My advice is service any Asian watch you like and want to keep for a long time. Running a watch in which is dirty and over-oiled will reduce its lifespan significantly.

Yeh people don't buy that crap, sorry. And to try and refute an obvious glaring omission with "maybe this rep isn't for you" is just utter drivel. I've held the rep in hand next to the gen, it's blatantly obvious. Disregard everything else about rehauts, SEL's, crown guards, etc, you can call it simply from the dial. And no, the fact that Rolex produced maybe a couple with iffy lettering does not make it OK then. That may be fine for you, I'm happy. But when I look at my wrist I really don't want to see dial print that's been put on by someone in the middle of having a fit. Go look at any recent Explorer in an AD, on Instagram, etc and show me the shoddy lettering.

If you want to put money in the hands of the factories for obvious mistakes that's absolutely fine, go for it. They profit regardless. But as a community we exist to drive innovations and to 'better' what the factories produce. Hence why we have V1, V2, etc. If we didn't do this then reps would not be at the level they are at right now, look back 5/10 years and see where we've come from. We get better more accurate reps, factories make more money, etc.

Anyway that's the last I say on the matter. I really do love this rep, and I'm glad you guys enjoy yours. Just for some of us it just isn't quite there yet and hopefully JF (or another factory) will hit the nail on the head.

Jf vs 2015 gen. I don't get your point.

it was jut my two cent, I'm not the only one of this idea
The new JF seems to me pretty well assembled and clean. Maybe because they engrave the movements, so they clean out them?
I don't know, but listening also to other people seems there is no comparison between the cleansing of the movements provided from Yuki and the other called SH and installed in the JFs

Exactly. Come on guys, after all it is a rep! That costs no more than 400$

The question is how far the Noob version from the Gen, that I should choose because of it a worse movement (JF version)?
