Not only the Bezel !!! So for all AP Lovers they wanna buy the Standart Rep i must say Thumps up for J12 Especial the Dials and Tachys from them are AMAZING...

And the Screws yah these are sooooo AMAZING... I like the old 42mm APs with Closed Caseback from J12 i hope they realease my Favourit in the next Month(s)
The Mountauk Highway... As i have heared they re-release it... I hope in same Quality as the other APs they released...

The Numbers on on the J12 and the Rims etc are soooo nice...

I like the J12 maker a lot... A good new Factory... That brings fresh Wind into the Scene... :D


Thanks for pointing out your thoughts on the watch as a whole/overall.
And thanks for pointing out/commenting in this thread about that slightly thinner midcase again also!! :)
Appreciate your time!

Congrats Zocker with your Franken RC white ;)
I know that we're all interested about the RC bezel that nobody noticed that beautiful built, sorry.
Awesome work as usually from the Maestro Domi on a wonderful donnor watch from JF.
Like I ever said, Franken on a JF ROO is THE BEST... Just my opinion ;)

Thanks for taking the trouble for the write up!


Hey there is no trouble ;) this is my hobby and I like to spend some time to it... But we all have an real life, and so we all must check how we mange our time ;)

So I like to inspect all the differences on rep and gen... I work on many reps but also on gen Watches... And it is nice to see how far the Far East People are to replicate Gen Watches...

many People put the fingers on the Far East Guys these and that isn't right...

But we all must go an step back ward and think about that, what we say... If we hadn't the Far East guys we had no rep scene... So i like to studie all there doing too... And I must say all of them do an great job ;)

The small and also the Big Factorys...

they give us all the chance to wear an Watch that is close to the gen and what would be the rep scene if we can't go Franken??? When we all can order the best of the best replica the life would be boring or?

So all these little steps makes the Rep Scene...

i am also on the Gen Scene and I must say the talkings there are not sooooo intensive as on the rep scene...

The most of us Rep Guys know more about the real Watches are the People on the Gen Scene...

because we we are all little niet pickers ;) and the most of us are no Multi Millionaers to Buy every Watch as Gen...

so so we try to get them as close as possible to the gen :)

i Personally like the Rep Scene more then the Gen... The People are much cooler and not sooo ignorant as on the Gen Scene... Sure there are some cool guys too, but the Rep Scene is more familiar :)

so short... My home my sweetness ;)

My Franken Based on the J12 Case... It has more GEN Specs in my eyes... But the different in Builing Franken is marginal...
But you can´t put the Movement with Dial true the Case on the J12... You can only install from the Back side... As it should and the Tachy Ring sit Perfect on the Case... The Noob is there an little different...

I've got my eye on the white dial rubberclad.

Anyone know if a new version of that watch is scheduled to be released?
