JF 9,5 Diver sw200 swap?

[Kimmeren123]

Has anyone on the forum ever swaped the a2824 for a sw200 on the ap diver? If so was it a direct swap or did it need any mods? i just finnished grinding off the sharp edges of the bracelet and oiled it up and cant get over the beauty and feel of this rep and i wanna make it last as long as possible i have never been this happy with any rep.. Hell any watch ever! Thinking of getting a 2x ar xtal for it also is there any EU based watch smith that could sorce the parts put it together and make me asuper happy camper? I will ofc pre pay for the parts but i dont see a reason to put a movement trugh the brutal postal service twice, i want proof's 2x ar xtal fitted, money is no object when it comes to this watch so a ETA swap is also cool contact me if you are the man for the job or tag him if you know him ????

2xAr crystal is total waste money. the jf crystal perfectly fine. single ar colorless cyclops replace.
​​​​​​you could install a tissot powermatic 80 lowbeat conversion.

The SW200 isn't the best movement for the JF AP diver. I agree with Garuda that the double AR crystal is redundant, and also, if you are considering the SW200, then consider the P80 movement instead.

Looked in to the p80 movement, seems cool 80 hrs power reserve would be awesome! How much do they run yoi? Found one sub $80 one on ebay thinking of ordering it even tho it needs service.

pm80 not serviceable. they are laser aligned from factory. buy the womens tissot with date they are cheaper. ask moddee to reassemble tissot and give to wife, gf,mum
