Hi guys! I saw this beauty an I want it :) I trhink i will choose the V6. They are waterproof out of box? I mean at least 30m?

Don't count on it..sometimes they could be, and sometimes not. ;)

What modd should I do for waterproofness? Grease the gaskets?

if you send it to the modder and request for waterproofing, he will know what to do.

The QC from the factory is not very good. A gasket could even be completely missing, as far as you know. top quality diver/sport replicas are able to be waterproof but you have to check them.

Most of the dealers I ordered from also provided a free waterproofness check.

 

I have never seen any proof that this is actually done, or even done properly.  Do they send you pics of the procedure?

Thank you for answers. I have already ordered it from Ryan, I will check it, but i read the JF V6 factory have better QC vs the Noob 5.1..

Well they include an image in the QC pics and in this case they also included a printed copy of the results from the tester.

Construction is slightly better on J12 cases, but noob has better QC especially on date wheels from my buying experiences.

The J12 AP arrived, i check it and it's waterproof to min 50m, i think it's enought for me.

It's possible to change the stainless steel beezel to a black ceramic one (example from forged carbon v3) ? It will fit? What parts need to be changed in additional?  Thanks for the answers..

But I have caved(glad I did) and modded it via Domi AR (a must for an more amazing clarity hence look on the face of it)and LOW BEAT and WP(tested and passed 5 bar). He was awesome as I stopped by his place during my business trip and got it done in 1 hour.
