Not to get off track from this thread's purpose for long but regarding rep Day-date President bracelets, they all suffer from sharp inner link edges. Make sure you research that in Day-date threads and know what you're buying there as well. Rep jubilee bracelets suffer from the same flaw, usually to a lesser degree. Oysters are generally not so bad, often not even noticeable.

Hello, so for you JNF replicates the skydweller gen very well and it's better to take it with the black background, right?

Spot on !
I just received my VSF DJ41 with jubilee and can confirm this. The bracelet is nicely made and doesn’t “jiggle” around too much but the inner links definitely have a sharp edge to them when you run your hand over the bracelet side to side you can feel it.

@KJ2020 Finally I entered this thread after wearing some Skydwellers at the AD - what a watch!
Now I got to have the rep;)

Asking around I really wondered - AFAIK the only Not-Gen-Function is the month change (red dot), which can be set manually by bezel turn.
The other settings from the watch are regulated by crown, not by bezel like on gen, correct?

I had a short chat with steve from TheoneWatches, TD here, and he said, that this watch changed automaticly the months, which i doubt.
Whats your thoughts about this fact and what can you tell me about the functions/stem positions? (EDIT: Just saw your post 44, thanks mate, perfect)

Then what I also saw was following picture.
I thought there was a Noob (V1) skydweller, or the JNF which is called "Noob V2".
Whats about this:

Already thankful for your opinions.



Edit:
Damn, after reading this whole(!) thread as I should have done before I realize this is the JNF.
But still wondering why Steve tells me month changes automaticly.
I waiting for video for that feature.

The date changes automatically not the month. There is no and has been no rep Skydweller that advances the month indicator automatically. In fact some of the earlier noob rep versions didn’t even have the option to change the month at all, the red dot was fixed at the 8 o’clock mark ( august ) and could not be adjusted at all.

At least with the JNF you have the option to turn the bezel manually and change the indicator for month accuracy.

There are stacks of threads about this. The more you search the more info you will find.

So sad then that Theonewatches tols me that MONTH changes from itself. Not very competent then. Well:)

Bro you would probably find the thread below interesting. No rep will ever have an auto month change IMO. Its really not a big deal to roll the bezel a few degrees once a month, as long as it's not so loose it turns by itself. That was a complaint about the JWFs.

As I mentioned in the thread below, PT, Intime and Jtimewatch are showing only Noobs now, no more JNF or JWF on those TD sites.
