Hey guys! Thought I'd chime in since I'm Crown & Skull And you may know me from other forums. I just got clued into the JF vs. Yuki movement recently and I have a JF Yachtmaster incoming. So the story with me and Yuki is that I started buying his movements in bulk to preservice for forum members. Takes all the risk of them getting a bunk movement and I can ensure parts aren't broken and they're working properly. Recently he's asked me to be the main seller as he's not set up to service them ahead of time. So that's where I come in. As for this recently development.... it doesn't look good (for me). Until I get one in my hands I won't know for sure, but damn if they don't look identical. The biggest giveaway between the Noob SA and the Yuki was always the balance and winding bridge. The slot for the hacking mechanism is crooked in relation to the engraving vs. the Yuki and gen which is 90 degrees to the engraving. But even bigger tell is that the hairspring on the Noob SA is wound in the opposite direction! The Yuki and JF both have the hairspring terminal on the opposite side of the regulator vs. the Noob SA. I gotta say, if this is true it'll be a huge kick in the nuts as I was paying damn near that for a single movement BEFORE servicing Anyway - I'll post a full breakdown when I get my Yachtmaster unless one of you fellas beats me to it. Thanks.
