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

Any keen eyed members care to say their opinion about the watch? It's a JF model

I am just curious how JF has improved over a couple of months.

I accidentally got the JF 15707 Ceramic in March - I understand it shares the same hour hand. The lume on it is terrible - and I mean terrible. I can’t believe they are selling them like that. In the end I exchanged it for an XF which is far better.

I recently got a 15706au V2 from XF

However, the bezel seems to have the newer style brushing, which really bothers me.

How difficult would it be to remove the shine? I think it's such an obvious flaw; the bezel looking like it belongs on the 15707ce.

Seven7r The bezel is from ceramic material and therefor very hard and tuff to handle. As I learned in this topic, both brushing methods are OK and will not show a flaw.

but please let the experts and modders chime in. It looks very well on your wrist mate, amazing watch. :)

Hi everyone,

i have decided to pull the trigger on XF AP forged carbon V3 after Legend's advice in another thread.

As i have a small wrist and need to change to a short strap, is it true that i can't do it as all the rubber straps in the market are made for JF?

Appreciate your advice.

Thank You.

Regards,
Ivan

as far as i know the consensus was that the XS JF strap fits the XF cases. I have also small wrists at 6,85 inch and the XF and JF Diver it my wrist on the standard strap on the last hole quite comfortably.

True, you can put it on last/first(?) hole but i feel the buckle is then too close to my wristbone and not as comfy as when i ise xs or even better half strap from standard and half (the side with holes) from xs

Hey guys. I am the OP. I ended up buying an MB AMG C43 (2019 model), and I am now considering to add some CSC5P ZR tires and a better cold air intake to it.

I have not been wearing this AP for a while because it feels a bit bulky while driving and studying (I will take a few important exams in a few months). Recently I have been wearing the white daytona 116520 and I think I will need a quartz or mechanic VC that is thin and quiet. Hopefully some rep makers will have it since I don't want to go gen...
