purger72 0 Posted December 20, 2016 Been looking in to Daytona for some time. But issues brought up with Seconds@6 where holding me back. New JF version with frozen big seconds is just to much money for basic 2813 movement. So dig this cheep verson out after a long search .... lol Don't know who made it, some small factorie. Movement A2813 23j . Big seconds hand running in sincronization with Seconds@6. Subdial @9 is days per week 7 positions, subdial @3 date per month 31 positions. They are all fully functional as a calendar . Bracelet is shit. Links are not so bad but clasp is shit so I didnt resize just took it off and put on Leather strap on. This watch is more of a experiment to se if I like that daytona style. Case size is just over 40 mm thick 12.5 mm Watch it self , case , crown ,pushers, dial are not bad for The price off $110 USD. Any way I dont get why JF version as is best build doesnt have big seconds running like this cheepey. I think appart from shitty folding clasp not bad budget watch.

johnlogan 7 Posted December 24, 2016 The print on the dial is way off, same with the bezel. However is acceptable on the wrist with the leather strap. Cool with the "working" Chrono. I own both the BP & JF and like them both. The BP unfortunately has terrible bezel but working chrono and an amazing bracelet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's right printing is wrong but hey $110 and all functions working is not bad. It is good work around the house rep, if it gets knocked it doesn't metter. To be honest Im glad I didnt get expensive version as definitely not my cup a tea. Preffer day date and Yachtmaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thelittleprince 2 Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Not really sure what you avout the seconds hand on Jf, whats wrong with it? I was considering Jf but couldn't find much about the flaws!

I was considering Jf but couldn't find much about the flaws!Whats wrong with the big seconds hand, it doesn't move? JF 2813 has frozen big seconds hand and subdials @3 and @9 . It is as per others reviews closest version to gen in terms off looks but way to expensive with cheep 2813 movement and on top frozen subdials and big seconds hand to. There was a huge tred in RWI about that version and in terms off looks people loved it, its only question if you can live woth non functional parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k3rm87 172 Posted December 27, 2016 The difference between that & the JF would be about the same difference between the JF & the gen Daytona. Still a nice beater cheapie. I too have been on the fence regarding the JF, it's just too expensive at the moment with the exchange rate for aussies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too have been on the fence regarding the JF, it's just too expensive at the moment with the exchange rate for aussies! The solution is simple, run for elected office and improve the economy to improve the exchange rate. And now buy ur rollie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
