Revere Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Was looking through Toro's website and saw he has two nice 15400s, one is the V6F with A3120 movement and the other from the TF factory with the miyota. I've been out of the loop on APs for a while. What's the story with the A3120 model? Is the movement decent? How does that model compare to the TF in terms of bezel screws, etc? I'd link them, but I don't have 5 posts yet, so I can't. Thanks guys
martijnp Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 It's hard to say.. The V6F is the latest version and it looks perfect despite two points: - The AP Logo is not correct - The case is 1,5mm thicker as per genuine which is a lot when you keep in mind this is a "slim" watch These new ones have a Miyota 1915 movements but are decorated to make it looks like an AP Calibre 3120 movement. Looks pretty good tho
GOATmaster Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Don't forget the fact that the hour markers are terrible on the Miyota versions

Don't forget the fact that the hour markers are terrible on the Miyota versions How do you mean that they're terrible? Are they terrible at macro level, or even at a distance? They seem alright to me, comparing to the gen. Is the alternative a version with a 2824 or 2836?

I can spot the difference in a second. Even at arms length. The BP (with a 2836 movement) version has the most accurate hour markers, but it has other flaws.

Yes I ment the 9015, my bad But that is a deal breaker for me aswel, just hoping to get some news on the new J12 factory versions.... this takes so long already

I hear the 2836 version has thickness issues and other similar problems? Any idea on when the J12 might be coming out? If it's soon enough, I wouldn't mind waiting!

J12 is coming in a couple of months (2-3) according to a source in Taiwan.
Revere Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Not too bad, it sounds worth the wait. Thank you
marculito Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Not too bad, it sounds worth the wait. Thank you I am actually talking to a TD now to maybe strip down two 15400 from different factories and take the best parts from each and make a new one Like the new BP Miyota and V6F
Revere Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 If you get any progress on that, let me know! Sounds like a promising project.
marculito Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 If you get any progress on that, let me know! Sounds like a promising project. Sure, I'll keep you updated. Probably know tomorrow how we'll proceed with this little project.
mule play Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Any update on this. I am interested in purchasing a hybrid like this or waking for the JF.
mule play Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Is that Blue or Black? The photo looks Black. Anyone have an idea of what TD will have the new J12 version? I'd be interested in a pre-production sample if one is for sale now.
