Can the newly released XF V2 FC Diver 15706 be considered a super rep?

There are many movement options, a2824 a2836 a2846(out of stock) and miyota 9015.
Between them, which is good?

Latest batch QC pics, already accepted just for reference only.

It’s still a great looking rep even with modern date and brushed bezel.

Is it I-Series or H-Series Caseback?
2836 Movement?

I received QC pics today as well, mine says I-Series...

"H" can be both - modern Font or Classic Font.

So this DW could be both, "I" or "H".

True for the gens, but pretty rare. For the Reps I haven’t seen any so far. Correct me if I am wrong’ ;)

What´s the Situation with the Letters on those Casebacks now ? Actual Batch OK? Or does it make sense to swap witch a JF Caseback?

My “I” series looks decent based on QC pics. Do you need me to share caseback QC with you ? If so I can do it.

I like the new brushed bezel too. I've heard conflicted reports as to the gen crystal. Does the gen APFC have 2x AR or 1 X AR please?

Old DW Font, too long right indicator and 12 and too long thumbnail! :p

if I order a xf 15706 today will I get a brushed bezel? I wonder if a brushed bezel is a flaw. or not?

I doubt anyone really knows, just ask your TD what they were getting recently or to source you one with a specific bezel if possible.

In any case (and this has been discussed before in this thread), it's not a flaw. If you break the bezel on your gen diver and send it in to AP, there's a chance you get it back with a brushed bezel.

Some people swear brushed bezel is correct, others say non brushed is right. But from what I was able to gather is that both bezels are correct.

Like previous persons response you can ask TD which bezel they have. But since both are correct you can just buy whatever is in stock.

In in terms of whether one looks better than the other I don’t know but a lot of people like brushed one more but I personally like non brushed. I bought brushed by the way because other one was not available.

Thanks for the answer, I have no more worries in getting one then
