trissoryen 5 Posted March 12, 2020 Hi guys, in need of some quick assistance from you experts. I’ve been given the option to choose between an JFv4 AP 15400 (in white dial) with a miyota 9015 movement and a JFv3 AP 15400 (in black dial) with a 2824 movement. I’m not much of an expert and I have no plans of modding. The black will be £10 more but wanted to get some opinions from you all first. Which one would be a better choice? Thanks!

GingerApple 7,306 Posted March 12, 2020 Where are these watches coming from? They're presumably both second hand (at least). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,511 Posted March 12, 2020 Quite sure there is no JF V3 with 2824, JF started with Miyota, plus look at those strap endlinks, they don't fit the case properly. Get the white, fix its scratches if you are able and put it on a proper bracelet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,306 Posted March 12, 2020 The black one's just a gate cheapie by the look of it. I'm not sure the whites much better tbh. Are you being offered them for peanuts? If not, walk away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It came with Miyota 9015 but was changed to a 2824... at least that’s what the seller told me. 1 hour ago, deju said: Dial flaw to save a £10.... wonderful What’s the flaw, mate? 10 minutes ago, TheGingerFerret said: The black one's just a gate cheapie by the look of it.

Paid £300 so not cheap at all! Do I change to the white? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The black one looks a lot worse than these: https://www.dhgate.com/product/12-color-luxury-watch-41mm-15400-mechanical/484157144.html?skuAttr=1072875:2071941#s1-10-1;searl|1092562740:12 Edited March 12, 2020 by TheGingerFerret Wrong link 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Da fuk? There's your solution OP. Buy a gross and just change 'em as they stop running. Hell, maybe I should buy them all and rent a stall on Canal Street! Otherwise follow GenTLe's advice if there's no chance of a refund. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it's just that Gate thing where you have to click an option, then you get the real price which is £80 ish. Try putting one in your basket for the real price.

Are you being offered them for peanuts? If not, walk away. Seller has provided proof of purchase for the white one - JFv4. He hasn’t got the email for the black one unfortunately. I’ve asked for more pics (partially because he’s a trusted seller on a diff forum) so let’s see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got the refund. I think I’ll just get a JLC Ultra Thin Moon directly from a TD with that cash. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad of the outcome but confused - they sell reps on Reddit? I'm so out of the loop these days! Yes, stick to the TD's and M2M on the rep boards I would imagine, what are the rules on Reddit and does anyone enforce them?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The black one, being sold by the seller, wasn’t actually posted On reddit - I bought the white one which was posted (which is in fact a JFv4) and he brought up that he had the black one. I think sticking to M2M here would be a better option, although I have purchased a couple of decent watches from Reddit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glaude 1,615 Posted March 13, 2020 There's hardly any rules on Reddit and there's no trusted anything Forums have power to enforce decisions over to TD, Reddit doesn't have that power over them. The guys running the rep watch Reddit are nice and cool guys, you can trust them, but the people wandering about and offering stuff for sale are to be avoided. Unless they are member of any rep forum and agree to close the deal over there. M2M can go wrong even on forum so I let you imagine on Reddit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CurioLeo 297 Posted March 16, 2020 For the record, there is absolutely no JF with a 2824 and swapping a Miyota with 2824 is not a direct swap - a lot of fucking around without guaranteed success at the end. Anyone who puts that forward without full disclosure of the background effort is potentially very dodgy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
