JF stops production today.
- Thread starter dashindark
- Start date
Yes apparently (and unsubstantiated), those are remnant stocks of JF. It does seem, by several TD accounts, that JF is ceasing operation or at least switching to another brand name after these last batches are exhausted.
I do not have enough facts to separate the truth from the rumors. Just use your own discretion if you’re interested in buying JF stuff.
Nice to meet you all. I am a replica watch enthusiast living in Japan. I spoke to the replica watch seller, but all I heard was that it would take a long time to arrive. We apologize for the strange English because we are using Google Translate.

Just as an FYI
Recently ordered JF AP Roo Dark Knight on June 28 and have already received my QC pics last night from JTime.
Not sure if this was built up inventory or JF is still churning stuff out ? Li mentioned it was ordered from JF. Either way - happy to be able to get my hands on as the rumors of closure seem to be varied.

This is perfect for Fiorentina's soccer club fans
Breaking News!--Lucy just shared, "after closed for a few months,ARF back to work again in recent days"...

cool, good to know !
but this thread is about JF and any associated detail around their permanent closure.
My understanding and seemingly common thought (as noted in comments in this thread) was that JF/ARF one and the same~

Live and learn then ! I wasn’t aware that was the case…
seems ARF are the Rolex specific arm of JF whereas JF are predominantly AP and other brands.
Thanks !

It was ordered from Li at JTime and he confirmed it was available when I ordered it on 28th June ( 2 weeks ago )
Not sure what other factories make this AP Roo Dark Knight - so I trust Li sourced it direct from JF or from Left over JF stock at that time.
If its isnt JF Factory - got me stuffed what it is or why Li would go ahead with the sale and be able to source it for me.
Perhaps trying to get one right now - 2-3 weeks later may be a different story ?

To add :
just checked with Puretime and they also confirmed they can source it and ship it. So either there is a stockpile of these AP ROO dark knights sitting around OR JF are still open and making stuff.

Out of curiosity has anyone got a more accurate update on JF regarding their operational status.
Last week asked couple of WeChat sellers and they said they are not producing , only selling some left over stock, models availability are pretty limited , only certain chrono models .
I also check with my usual TD Hont, he said he couldnt get any
I know this is an old thread, but I'm just bumping in case anyone has more news on the status of JF. I was not aware of the alleged closure back in 2022. I'm just wondering about the future availability of their Graham Superlight reps? They are excellent, but very expensive at $698!

This thread was created in regards to their AP-Production line. They allegedly sold old stock to other factories (APF and some others).
As for your graham inquiry - just ask your TD of choice if the desired watch is in stock and can be purchased. Offerings from TD sites are often not updated and show long out of date reps no longer in production.
