Hi,
I am sorry for this kinda noob question here. But it's so hard to search about between the M series and j series from h factory. I wonder which one is better.
and anybody can share the pictures here?
thanks

Totally agree with Chris. Now if you ask M series Noob vs M series H-Fac V2, I would go with the newer H-Fac offering.

Thank you! I ask because MY TD show me some simple picture of j series, but the bezel mark and dot don't look really good.
thats why if I can see more photo from someone who really have it.

I think M is the way to go. Not only is it more modern but also patina'd indices is not for everyone.

I am thinking about M too, because the J lume mark is look too yellow.
but do the M make right pearl on bezel?

Yes the j is quite yellow rather than orangey as tritium shall be.

M makes the correct pearl on the bezel.

I think both watches have similar quality of manufacture and rep accuracy

The choice I think it will be a taste matter and will depend on the buyer
Regarding the vintage lume colour of J-series NO WORRIES about because GEN Tritium lume colour changes a lot on time. Therefore accuracy is almost assured ( LOL )

IMO the rep lume colour would be at the limit of the change in a gen

I received an H fac 243j off of the forum yesterday. One thing I've never noticed when looking at all the pictures of these watches online is the "reverse cyclops" on the crystal. I can't quit looking at this freakin thing! I new they had it but never realized it was on the dial side of the crystal.
