Nobody has the JF version?
And what about the problem of breaking some parts of the case in the V6F? Has it been solved?
Where can I buy the V6 F version of panerai carbotech? I tried to buy it from in time watch and they sent me an email saying my credit card is being processed. I called my bank to clear the payment but the bank did not see any charges on my account from in time watch.
I offered them my PayPal but have not heard back for three days. They also gave me option for money order or bank wire transfer which I don't fell doing that.
Any comments on their service

You need to take this up with intime and ask why the payment hasn't been processed.
When I first saw this watch, i thought it was Panerai's attempt at making a G-Shock. As time went by I started to kinda like it. Maybe because I collect G-Shocks. Then when I saw one M2M with a great pattern on the bezel (with a curve instead of a dot at 15) I bought it on a whim. So glad I did. I love my 508 but I'm starting to think I love this sub more.
I contacted Intime and the matter has been settelled . I cannot wait to get this beauty on my wrist. I hope it is up to my expectations. This is the first time I have bought any replica watch. Any comments on the functionality of the movement ? It is chinese 7750 movement.
The A7750 is a generally reliable movement, far more than the ones available some years back.
I'm unsure to buy either the JF version or the V6F version from InTime. The JF version is more expensive yet I can't figure out why?

Did you try to read the description (instead of just checking the pretty pictures)?
The JF version is using a clone version of the P.9000 which functions the same as the gen P.9000 movement. However, there is a caveat to this movement (if you check some of the threads here). There is a slight subdial offset compared to the gen (the A7750 also has it but it's not as severe).I got my V6F watch yesterday. It looks just like authentic from the outside but the movement is a different story. watch came with asian 7750 movement and it is running 5 minutes faster over 24 hour period. I have contacted Intime and planning to send the watch back to them.
I saw that the thread starter had made the claim that the lume is better than authentic watch. I disagree with that statement in my case. Lume is bright when charged but it disappears very quick. I have authentic omega watch and I know that the lume on that lasts long time.
I am thinking that the JF might be the better option since they have copied the original movement.

The movement factory that JF used (just to clarify that they aren't making this movement, I've seen SF now use these as well) copies the function of the P.9000 in-house Panerai movement however there is a flaw which causes the subdial post to move ever so slightly so you be the judge if the improvement on the function is worth the downside in visual accuracy.
I took to a local watch repair shop. They told me that some kind of spring in the movement needs to be changed . The movement is dusty and it needs to be cleaned. So got the quote of 150 USD to fix it . The repair guy told me that otherwise movement has no flaws and the material they used is of good quality.I am just letting them fix my watch instead of sending it back to china and not knowing what exactly they are going to do.
They said they are gonna change some kind of spring. Then tune up the whole movement and change the gasket
I have now decided to send it back to China for repair of the movement. Hopefully my package would make it through safely.
Few things I want to point out about the watch
The case back is just painted metal not DLC like coating and it could get scratched easily. Same is true for the material used for the watch case.The repair shop tried to open it and left few small scratches.
The superluminova they use is not even close to what is being used on high end watches. . It is pretty bright after direct exposure to the sunlight but then gets very dim quickly.
I am not sure about you guys but I am willing to pay more for a watch which is built with even higher quality dial, case and the movement. If you can get 17k watch for let's say 700 to 800 with exceptional quality I won't mind buying it.
What do you guys think ? May be replica companies can read the message and make improvements.

The reason these Panerais are so inexpensive is because of volume. These makers can crank out and sell more at $200 then they could at $700. Plus the lume isn't a big deal once you start buying more of these reps. Its really a non issue for a lot of us. Members on here will mod your Lume for you for a price. Most of these black PVD/DLC and even ceramic watches are always a bit risky. I stick to the titanium and steel cases. Good Luck.
I agree with you. This is my first replica purchase though. I will keep in mind not to buy ceramic or carbon material watch cases in the future
What i posted earlier is just my opinion and from things i have read on here. Someone else might chime in and say differently. Anyways don't get discouraged by this first purchase. Go with one of the SuperReps from Ale's Guide. I read for a few weeks before i joined here and then another 2 months before my first order. cheers
