ofrei is one the biggest and best--but unfortunately for me no option as I live in EU and I have to pay high customs when ofrei ships here.
Thanks anyhow.

All this HFAC FC bashing. Is it really so bad?

This is a nice looking watch but why is everybody changing the movements if its such a great watch?

Because the movement is one of the worst, most unreliable A2836 clones ever made, and because an ETA 2824 fits perfectly inside the case with minimum hand size incompatability (only the hour hand is a little off).

I see... So when its all said and done this rep will cost around $600-$700 after you get the movement and have someone swap it out? What's the cost for the movement and install cost?

No reason to buy this crap when there's a top notch version now . If you already have one, then a movement swap is surely needed.

I think selling is the best choice.
Not even sure if it's worth picking parts.

Looking for honest feedback. Is it just me or is the image quality of this QC pic lacking...no pun intended!

True. They will sell quickly and you can order the better version.


I still think the H factory is a great rep. With a crap movement but a great rep.

About the AR on crystal, most reps need AR on crystal to look better and I'm sure the V3 will also look much better with a nice AR from Joe or taka.
All the AP ROO also have a bad AR and they are still great reps.

And for the other parts, I'd like to see the V3 and the H fact FC side by side to compare...
BTW I still think the H factory has a better case for the pics I've seen.

This is a pic of a fellow member that shows the case of the V3 (left) and H factory FC (right)

You can swap the movement and put Ar on the crystal on a H factory.... But what do you do with the gap on the endlinks from the case of the V3?? :thinking:

Hmm the endlink gap is definitely severe on the v3.

Maybe I will make a hybrid between the two...
