Hi, I’m getting a little bit annoyed about the Gap between the strap link and the case.
Can I fix this?
edit: NVM, tompa answered me.
but also is correct that the end link look off the bezel as we look in the pictures?

Also I want to buy a SS bracelet, should I have the same problem with the bracelet?
This is the AP ROO diver JF 9.5.
I put some pictures
Thanks

You have flexible end links(plots) right? It is supose to look like that. But if you want change maybe an older generation of JF diver plots fits.

Yes, they are flexible, but they also look off the case in the pictures, that’s also correct?

Thanks you my friend!

It looks acceptable. At different angles of rotation of straps, the plots will look slightly different against the case.
Don't worry about this. If you have to worry, I can list the flaws of the watch, and what you mentioned isn't even on it.
You already know this is a replica, but what you are being bothered by is not a valid concern, there are tons of other flaws for this watch. Enjoy it as it is, it is a nice one for daily wear!

Thank you for your time to answer, and sorry, maybe I’m little obsessed with the watch. Dam.. I like it so much.

You mean the flaws of my watch, or the flaws of the JF v9.5 in general? anyway I would to know the list of flaws.

But its a beautiful watch. Use it for what it is, a replica. Not a gen Audermars piguet. If you accept that there is no problem ;)

I’m referring to the flaws of the rep model in general.

- dive bezel numbers are missing the white border around the lume
- datewheel font is off
- cyclop is a tell
- dial is acceptable to me because the gens have variances among batches
- hands geometry is off
- check if your midcase is aligned with caseback. Misalignment of the two is a common issue that I’ve seen.
- of course (and this isn’t seen), movement is completely different from gen
- your plots/case gaps are actually one of the accurate features vs gen.
- straps and buckles are different but not an issue for me personally. They won’t be a tell on the wrist despite the differences.

Wow! Thank you again for taking time to answer! May I ask you if you think this watch is still a SuperRep?

Tompa Indeed I use it as a rep, so far and I have enjoy it very much! Now I want a 15400!

I loved all your comments.

No I do not regard this as a super rep but such an apellation is pretty subjective. As long as you like it and are comfortable with it, what I think is irrelevant sir.

I’m enjoying it so far, but I’m a newb on this, maybe with time I will be more catchy.
What would you mod on this watch (Diver JF v9.5) or reasonable franken ( nothing more than 1k)?

Within $1k you say? Well then the cyclop, datewheel, and possibly a low beat movement conversion for a more accurate beat, and longer power reserve.

I checked with my TD and they said the new Delusional Factory 'DF' is working on a 1:1 diver with ghost outline tachy, gloss dial with 28 rings, correct font, supple strap and flexi plots. they bought the gen and have the best chinese minds make the moulds. release date very soon so you must get on pre-order queue
