Keep em coming Bud, clone plates convincing??

[Entavio]

Real life pics are amazing..... Only the screw on the rotor is still wrong, perhaps fixed in v2

They fooled me mate.. but then again, I'm not the most technical of horologists!
Certainly look better than the non-decorated movements on the Schumi's...

I'll try and get some accurate measurements on the difference, if any, in case thickness between a decorated and non-decorated movement..

 

[jonnybaws]

Deco Plates.. Vs Non-Deco..

 

[slaughterer62]

I would not be surprised to see the heart-shaped chrono cam on the 7750 dislodge the deco plate above it. It travels very quickly when activating and deactivating the chrono. That means that one day your rotor will stop spinning because the deco plate has been forced into it.

Caseback...

The FC looks great on your pics. :-D
So what's your personal verdict?

I tested the Chrono when it arrived yesterday it worked, it will never be used again

Still the honeymoon period mate so my judgement maybe clouded...
I very rarely wear the same watch two days in a row.. but this will take some shifting (for now!)

 

[slaughterer62]

I was happy with my unmodded Noob V1s for about 2-3 days, LOL. Looks like the honeymoon can last longer with the JF V3s. Congratulations again Jonny.

Cheers mate.. so far so very good...
Now.. who's gonna take one for the team and get the FC version?

Very nice Jonny. Has the Platinum giving you the confidence to buy the FC GP?

Never say never mate but right now, I'll hold fire until someone gets it and posts some of their own pics..
But quality of the Platinum is very good, this is up there with some of the best work JF have put out there..

I just paid for the FC and the new PAM616 as well .... but I fear that I need to wait at least 2 weeks before those two hit mydoorsteps via triangle.

[jonnybaws]

Good man Doc!
We await your pictures

Please don't forget to share pics of both when they finally arrive :thumbup:

 

[slaughterer62]

He he. Pictures won't correct the faults.

 

[wooky492]

Ok. This might be of some interest.
My source tells me that Angus and his team are apparently not very happy with the result of FCGP. They are just as we were astonished that JF, after producing series of great AP reps, got it so wrong. From what I hear, Angus has already arranged to meet JF personally to discuss this.

If the source is correct then good!!
I'll wait for v1.1-A

I think my source is a legit as the source is amongst the PT staff. ;-)
