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

More gen like strap quality as JF is too wobbly and too soft. Even though many of rep/gen owners prefer JF softness over gen stiffness.

XF is more stiff an texture is different than JF - in conclusion iw ould say XF has a better feel to it.

Does the XF fit a JF v7 Diver?

Dont know but following the logic that the JF strap fits the XF watch you can assume that it will fit ;)

XF produces 2 different DW fonts - one old style (Serifs) and one new style (sans serif) DW font.

For 15706 both would be correct - for the 15707 only the new style DW font is correct for the particular release year.

BIONONE thx for your answers, learning a lot. Oh and the difference between Serif and sans Serif click here.

No problem mate - thats why we are all here - to learn and discuss :)

BIONONE then mine has the "old Style Serif" is it not??

it is the XF low beat FC Diver (bought in Augist this year from TT )

Correct - this watch was discontinued shortly after the new stylesans serif font was introduced and some few 15706 were equipped with it. Same with the 15703.
