Check with Alpha Modding (AMF) which can be found in the Trusted Dealer section. They used to modify JF 15450s so they might have one left. If not, they may be able modify a APSF 15450 to your liking. Read their thread regarding the JF 15450 they modified (with pictures) while you're there. Best of luck.
they don’t have any! and modding an apsf costs 1250$ excluding shipping
@Xlsander You went to a Watchbreaker.
If you see him again, casually throw whatever heavy object you have at hand.
A 5-year-old could have figured out the hexagonal screws sunken into a hexagonal hole in the steel bezel cannot be turned.
Him calling himself a watchmaker means I am an Indian tribe chief called Longballs.

Silence the rotor
Bezel screws realigned and polished
Alignment of markers and hands
Pressure test to 6ATM”

Ooops! Silly me, I meant if the optional gen dial is still available which AMF offered with their JF 15450 model modification(s).

It can utilize some ETA parts but being a modified second@3 there is no way you can swap an ETA movement in wholesale like that.
hi everyone, i have finally managed to acquire myself an ap chronopassion by jf, there is a running issue with the movement, my watch smith is reluctant to service it so i’m looking for a replacement 7750 movement, can anyone recommend where i could locate one? not sure how many variants there are or how to tell what i need, any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys
You need a A7750 with the sec@12, and the only way to source this is either from dealers or another rep ROO as a donor.
Do note that the the design of this movement is problematic and getting another movement may not mean that the issue is resolved for good.
I will advise your current movement looked at by someone else, and a service done and swiss mainspring installed. It may revive the movement and make it more reliable, depending on what is wrong with it in the first place.

i see, that makes sense, thanks for that, i’ll make some more enquiries and see if i can find another watchsmith who is willing to take it on, do bob you know of anyone in the uk? or would it be feasible to get it to you to be able to look at?

Hi guys,
I'm getting a ZF 15500 V3 in white, however I've seen that the dial is considerably more flat compared to gen and a good solution is to get DP Dial on it. Anyone has experience with DP dials? How to even start to order one?

I like their blue 15202 v1 dial but it's a different animal ofc. Afaik you can get DP dials from some (if not all) TDs.

Getting To Know The Place
Comitting a big faux pas here, but no answer in the other thread for a few days so here comes a cross post:
Never been much of a fan of the Offshore line. However, there is one I do find appealing and looks less bulky. A friend has the gen version, bought over a decade ago mind you, it is the Safari. Stunning watch. Are there any reps that come close, let's say like the recent 15400/15500 reps which are not far off when compared to their gen siblings?
