JF 15400,the "new" batch.
Who's looking intently enough at your watch at 11pm that's going to suddenly scream "fake"!! And how do you know the gen isn't exactly the same? The mechanism for changing date is driven by the hour wheel so is in exactly the same cycle as the rest of the going train. The design differences with some date change mechanisms can be large. A 2836 flicks over very quickly at 12 so there's no slow creep of half a date's number due to its sprung pawl, whereas the 2824 (identical except for date change mechanism and height dimensions) has a different rotating pawl that engages with the DW teeth from 11ish onwards. Miyota very similar to a 2824. What is different is the Miyota date goes anticlockwise whereas ETA go clockwise. It could be that that's exaggerating the change in the Miyota.

Visions of rep owners all huddled around at 11 o'clock watching with baited breath for the date change only to be gutted!! Get over it for gods sake!!

Does anyone know if the V2 is only for the blue version? Did JF update their black version?

Looks like I'm only wearing the 15400 when I'm having an early night then. Or even I could wear it when I'm out for 'a few beers' to prevent it turning into a 3 day bender - that's 2 possibly 3 opportunities to be caught out [emoji15]

After a 2 month hiatus, I log on to this thread, and, soon enough, I am ordering the JF V2 (!) blue dial 15400 from Ryan. LOL.
