AP Diver JF V8

I can't keep track. JF is releasing so many new watches lately. I just noticed they released the AP Diver JF V8

They switched movement on this rep. They used the 2824 before. For this JF V8 they used a Miyota 9015.

I prefer the 2824 movement

Looks like they finally sorted out the date misalignment too.

Why all the effort for a closed caseback...?

[mule play]

v6 is fine by me....and i like the solid caseback.

The Miyota 9015 is a good solid movement, but it's a high beat. I have never heard of anyone converting it to a slow beat movement. The 2824 gave you that option, should you want to get the beat rate to the same as the genuine AP diver.

You are correct A. There is no way to convert the M9015 movement into a low beat. For the serious collector, the A2824 is the way to go in terms of modification potential and long term reliability.
