Ho letto sul forum in inglese che la JFv5 montava soltanto il myota 9015 e credevo le sfere fossero diverse.
Pensavo volesse propormi un modello vecchio.

PS Ho scritto in italiano perché immagino tu sia un compaesano ahah

****I thought JF V5 only support a myota movement and the version with 2824 was older.

Esatto ;)

Anyway they make both version, A2824 & A3120 (miyota movt). So like the SS Diver (V7 & V8)

Well that sure is weird... I though JF was doing away w using 2824 - Miyota only now!?!
Plus, I read that the hands were not compatible between the two (2824 mvmt and Miyota mvmt)... So, JF randomly does away with their beloved Miyota, AND creates a new hand set for the same watch they've already been selling with a Miyota previously?!
Very strange to me...

JF has ever had 2 versions in their SS & FC Divers.
Miyota or A3120 (SS V8, 15710 & FC V5) and A2824 (SS V7, V6 & FC V5, V3)

Is there actually a reason to get the 2824 JF over the noob?
