Where I need to be.
to see all what was mentioned by quetip i think you need a certain level of knowledge , if you notice all this just by the low res image without looking the video your eye is well trained ...

To see that it’s rep you only need to visually confirm that a specific feature is off. What Quetip mentioned in his list can be seen item by item if you know what to look for and you don’t need a high res pic to see the flaws once you have enough knowledge.
Many guys like to tout the diver as a “super rep” but it’s very far from being one if you know the flaws.

as far as I have seen on my watches, all chinese copies have silicon straps...think cause rubber costs too much

The straps of the v9.5 diver are made of rubber. Different quality from the gen one but good enough in terms of looks and feel.

Mine is good enough for daily wear. I clearly prefer leather in winter (I have a custom made in order) but usually wear the rubber over summer

I'm still dreaming on 15703 closed back... and today I've seen the one I really want to buy!!
I've noted that JF did a vew version called "v.9 S" who appears to be one step over the v.9.5 since it should have inside a real 2824 Swiss made!
​​​​​As long as I could see it has the classic font dw. and all the improvements coming from the v.9.5!!
What do you think about?
​​​​​​Is anyone so kind to let me to know if is allowed to post the link of the website who is actually selling this watch?

I just received my JF v9.5 and I was pleasantly surprised by the overall finish. The only downside so far is the screws backing out which I will have to loctite in. A d maybe a few sharp edges in the clasp. It's on the bracelet which brings it in at a whopping 253 grams which compared to my other watches is immense but once it's on wrist I dont actually find it to bad.
