I will also be waiting for the full CF. This looks like a great start though. I don't care about exact hues of color if the build quality is gen-like. J12 may raising prices but their watches are a clear cut above the old Noobs when it comes to finishing and feel, and that's worth it to me.
That's not cracked glass. It's the complimentary strand of pubes. Be happy it's not inside the movement! [emoji1]
Actually, it's just a sticker with the letter "A" on it.

+1000 .... Go on JF :thumbup: , they are only anal because they know what you're capable of lol
I'm sitting on two modded Noob versions, Prof crystal, Mikey2008 ti, iamknockov fc, gen strap, serviced, have a fc GP with schumi insert, prof crystal, Mikey2008 ti, iamknockov GP FC, just need another gp fc. The price for all of these is much more than what they are asking Indeed and this version is actually good value as slaughterer said, you don't need a crystal unless you're obsessive, you don't need ti screws, and you don't need a gen strap.. All of which saves you 500-700 in mods easily.
The anodized dial is the only upgrade you'll need to get a little closer to gen however it will always remain a great rep but to expect a gen 100k+ watch for $800 is kinda absurd. This hobby requires investment if you want to achieve the results you desire, always be prepared for service min 250 just in case on top of what you initially pay for 7750 models which are prone to crap out at some point. Plate mod isn't some I personally care for, I don't pass my rep off as gen, and I can assure you there will be issues with sticking rotors, and service nightmares.

I'm starting to love the platinum model. No modding necessary. This model is being picked apart because past iterations had to be so heavily modded. Now this model has cut price, build time, time sourcing parts,etc. and looks basically just as good.. And better on the caseback. Maybe sum people have to find a reason to talk shi* because theyre a little butt hurt 
maybe the front plate needs to be anodized.. But if that's really the only gripe lol... Than this watch is absolute perfection in the rep world. So much attention to detail. And most parts of this watch are perfect.
it may be expensive for a rep watch but with these JF models I honestly think you get what you pay for. The build quality is great. My two cents.

The fighting is unnecessary here. I appreciate you zorro GP guys who are complimenting and giving constructive criticism on the new GPs. To you zorro GP guys constantly calling all negatives, you need to stop being sour modders. The rep world is ever advancing and it's awesome! You should be in full support of j12 to make an even better GP than we have. The old noobs are yesterday's standard, that's why guys are practically giving away V1 42mm Roos with full mods! It's sad to see some of the leaders of the AP section attacking J12 on their new watch simply because it's opening up the GP crowd and its no longer an "exclusive" club. You guys should be patting yourselfs on the back because you GP modders played a HUGR roll in opening the doors for a quality GP rep for us new members who couldn't get on the early GP and its mods. Stop ruining everyone's excitement, encourage it! You guys are the leaders here, push the envelope on j12, bring in the constructive criticism, but don't rain on the parade just to be an ass

I really do not care about the back and forth gibberish but if it looks good and a good portion of posters are positive then i will get it. I like the fact the movement is actually rep this time on a 44 can't wait to get mine and then the fc when it comes out
