This is neither a ZF nor a Noob. It is a JF and looking at the dial, a V3.

I did some more digging and what it basically boils down to: ZF has the best OOTB watch but with a date wheel mod the KMF should be better looking. The V6F only really wins in price comparisons. So I think I'm going to go for the KMF and change the date wheel. They also said that the rose gold version holds up very well so if it is taken care of the gold should last a while.

Oh, and here is a picture of my favourite Patek so far. I bought this from a street vendor in Thailand about 11 years ago and it still works perfectly, although it's looking a bit beaten up now. I've only just learned on the forum that these things should be serviced 😞 Thanks TL

Hi guys As you remember, I have offered in batches modded SS JF V7 and Noob V4 FC divers. The A2824 divers have been unavailable for a long while, and recently available again from the TD. I will be offering 10 fully modded divers again, with the following specs. Please PM if interested for price and availability thank you. Base Watch: JF V7 AP ROO stainless steel diver Mods: 1. ETA low beat movement conversion, including service and regulation 2. Omega datewheel for AP ROO divers 3. Dial mod for the wet gloss look 4. Mk1 cyclop 5. Waterproofed to 6 atm minimum 6. Bezel screws polish, align and recess Below are pictures of 2 of the fully modded diver as examples. Please note that the base watches are with me, and there will be a turnaround time of about 3 weeks from time of order inclusive of 48hrs of movement testing before shipment.

After years of keeping this beauty in the box, finally made the decision to go for a complete mod closer to the real Jumbo even though it's still miles off. Torn down the ETA movement and did a complete overhaul. Gone with the seconds hand, mod on the cannon pinion to give a solid end, polished up the crown removing the PP logo - this is what the gen should look like. Alas, the hands are scratched but they were actually came like that, those scratches were not noticed as they were covered up by the seconds hand on top. Two pieces winding stem installed, so it will save all the hassles from removing the movement from the solid caseback now. If a folding clasp can be installed onto the bracelet it would be a step closer Some pics to share here. Hope you will enjoy.
