ceejay Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 My intention this year is to get a FC Diver then mod it with the Tissot movement etc. This new release called the "Lite" version with miyota movement is $100 cheaper than the A2824 version. As I don't need the movement this seems like the way to go. Anyone in the know care to comment on the rest of the watch, is downgraded in any other areas apart from the movement?

panerai153 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Hard to believe the Miyota movement is cheaper than the a2824 by 100 bucks. Must be some other shortcuts somewhere! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
ceejay Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 As it's being sold by Cartel dealers it can't be Noob, I don't know if they sell JF watches? H Factory perhaps?
panerai153 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Someone on another forum said this was from BP factory.
sputim Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Oh stay away from this one unless you don't care about accuracy. This watch has no nice carbon pattern (maybe not even real carbon). Reminds me of the ap fc v1 with the wooden pattern. Definitely not the way to go Will upload pictures of my fc v3 with profesteve ar'd xtal and noob hour hand for comparison
panerai153 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Posted May 29, 2015 Just my personal opinion, but if you are going to the expense of a Powermatic 80 slow beat and maybe a double AR Crystal, I would buy the best and most accurate model as a base to mod. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
ceejay Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks for the replies guys. Guess I will just go for the latest Noob version and be happy Does anyone apart from Angus sell it?
