Hello Guys, I would like to ask, is the new 15400 jf two tone, colored in gold color, or is it plated using real 18k gold?

JF 15400,the "new" batch.
Question for JF15400 owners about the timing accuracy of the miyota movement:
I noticed a big difference between different orientations of the watch. In horizontal position it seems to gain 20 seconds per day, whereas in vertical position it gains only 1 or 2 seconds. (QC timegraph stated +5 s/d, which seems rather optimistic)
I'm wondering if this is normal. How do you watches perform?

How to make an inaccurate watch paying a lot of $€Â£Â¥My x2AR'd watch arrived from profs today. Looks sick. However, I'm not sure I like the "no crystal" look. Much prefer the stock JF crystal actually. Anyone wanna swap?
Sometimes we complain about a crocked marker or a very very small issue, invisible with naked eye but we want a 2xAR Xtal. This place is very strange...

I had the exact conversation with someone about it yesterday. The JF crystal is more "accurate" though there's no way we can deny that 2XAR is a lot prettier.

Honestly mate (accuracy aside), in this case, i feel that the no crystal look look makes the dial look uglier (to my eyes).
I love x2AR on my ROOs but for some reason it doesn't LOOK right on the RO (IMO).
With x2AR there are NO light reflections on the crystal, which makes the watch look unbalanced IMO - given that the bracelet reflects light like a disco ball. I think the AP designers deliberately do not use x2AR, so that the light reflections from the crystal compliment the blingy bracelet.

Got mine with a black dial. Not sure if it's the v2 or not. Maybe one of the experts here can tell me
It's not modded - fresh from the local dealer.

It's not JF, or perhaps a very early model. But I doubt it.
Watch the bezel screws, logo, second hand, hour markers, minute markers (which are actually better than JF's), undecorated miyota movement. Who sold you this as JF?

Unfortunately JF or NOOB means nothing to my local dealer based on the language barrier, so I went and got told it's the newest batch. Quite happy with the quality. Paid $310.
Doesn't sound like a train too like some of the members here say. Maybe it's not the JF?!
