Sorry but a bit off topic, but would a gen bracelet and gen crown fit onto the jf v3 case?

Could anyone shed some light?

Gen bracelet won’t. It would need to be moded.
im not sure about crown.

Looks great, does the bracelet feel smooth when you run fingers up and down it? Never liked the feel of the rep bracelet

The angle if the bevel on that caseback is wrong compared to gen. The side flat spot is also to thick. The JF caseback once thinned is way closer to gen. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't buy a TF just for a caseback that is thinner but with wrong bevel. It is cheaper and more correct to gen to have the JF caseback thinned
Do we have any posts on the slimmed down jf caseback? I would love to do it!!

You have to get caseback loco luie

Safe to say most people here have had bad experiences with Loco Luie. While his prices were decent he's gone MIA along with many user's watches without a single update in months.

Slaughter offers caseback shaving if you'd like to contact him.

Gen dial will be amazing ????????????????

IMHO, if you can live with the minute markers, AP logo, and swiss made logo being just aesthetically microscopically different than the GEN than I DON'T think a gen dial will be worth it at all...at least for the black dial.
My point is that JF really, truly, GENUINELY, did a frighteningly amazing job on the black dial compared to the gen and they deserve all the credit they get.
Now if you wanted a genuine blue dial swap, that's a different story as mech500 discussed in his review...the color doesn't have the same pop from the rep blue dial.

Here is a picture of mine. This was a LocoLouie thinned one, that my friend put a Gen dial in for me. LocoLouie only thinned the back, but to get the correct thickness the bezel needs to be thinned too. Slaughterer62 is the only one that I know can do that. I have another 15400 going to him to be correctly thinned!! I can't wait, I have never seen anyone (no disrespect to anyone) that can do work like him- he is the master as far as I am concerned.

It was rigid until I gave it an hour long bath in the ultrasonic cleaner and then soaked it in WD40 for 30 minutes. Now it is fine. Only thing it is waiting on is for the Prof 1xAR Crystal to be put in it
