Can I suggest that you chaps do the improved versions of the other 2 GP?

Either that or the new JF RB2..
If your suggestion was directed at Chris and I, yes the two other GP's will be modded and yes RB2 is in the works as well. [emoji6]

Can't read Chinese but see someone has pics of naked men on their phone. Perhaps they not talk about gp but arranging a good holiday [emoji3]. Each to their own
Lol could be it.

From google translation which translated into alien language, it seems like they are discussing buyer unsatisfaction episode of faulty 7750 movement. Shaky rotor , return it, refund it, ignore him etc are some of the key words there. Lol

Yup it's roughly about that, he was talking about the rotor turn both ways but should only rotate in a single direction and if u don't like it return it and get money back something something....

Is there already a comparison between rep RG GP and a Gen? I could not find any and I read the whole thread.. Only could find pictures for the FC one. But not the RG version. :cheese:

If no, what are the major flaws except for the DW and the crown?

Thank you and best regards
Tim

There is a comparison thread between gen and rep RG GP. I can't remember the title but most likely it will contain words 'gen gp' :)

Are you also going to position the DW cutout position look more gen like as how the noob gp looks. Jf has more space between tachy ring and DW. Noob looks closer. You know what i mean, right?

For this I think they have to re do the top part of the dial or mod the Rehaut/tachy ring.

There are several problems with JF dw.
When we dissected the watch we found that the minute markers (white markers on black outer dial) are not marked deep underneath the techy ring. This poses problem that if we shave too much metal off the techy ring, the marker will be 'disconnected' from techy ring.
We only have 2mm to play with it to the very edge. Hence we decides to make it new with 1mm off the diameter. This is significant improvement over the stock JF gp as its dw basically nearly touches the techy.

Making new main dial and adjust the dw cutout to the left are too much hassle. Then we'll have to mod the dw print, the inner cutout and whatever else is needed to make dw look not offset.

In ideal situation, JF should've made the whole DW a bit smaller.
We will explore the option of creating the top dial(black) from scratch with smaller DW but will not be incorporated on our c&w gp. If we do, god knows when we will complete the project! Lol

Gents,

Does anyone know if there will be any updates to the JF GP soon? I want to pull the trigger soon but will hold off if there are expected updates.

I have been experimenting with Modifications for the JF Grand Prix.
Here with matte-refinished subdials, metallicized tapisserie and SuperDeep (TM, LOL) date wheel cut out.
I really do not want to do any more to this, it is really nice now.
