however, it does look white to me on Toro's site. Perhaps you should take look as well mate

That's what I thought too. I remember asking Toro a while back and he said the hands were still the same. So it must be lighting or editing to boost sales perhaps?

you are most probably right mate. till then, we can only wait if a revised version is coming out. The reigning champ shall still be the Noob FC V4!

And EVERY AP needs a crystal upgrade. That's the best and easiest mod for these. They need real double AR.

I heard that the new JF's have got the AR down pretty well and don't need 2xAR upgrades

+1 I must have gotten a great batch of V7 : the crystal is amazing and based on what I've seen is on pair with a gen. Bought Guru's x2 AR and don't think will be putting it in to JF diver.
Noob crystals are not as good (or at least they were not before), so I'm saving it in case Noob comes out with the V5 for FC diver. However there is not really a good reason replace xtal on latest JF diver batches IMHO. I had 4 divers all V7s go though my hands over past 3 months and the latest one was by far superior - bigger date magnification and even more perfect alignment... what is more interesting the crystal seem improve even more than 3 months ago. So far in my experience the watches after No1000 tend to be higher quality, maybe because they either make them in 1000 or if batch came out real good in 2000s... I might be wrong but thats what I heard form a source in SE Asia... Based on my personal experience with these, so far it seemed to be true.

I'm waiting to see IF it is white... someone has to take a plunge... I have V7 that is way different from V7 I had this summer... BFF Noob batches are different quality as well, I hear...
So it's quite possible they fixed the problem in the latest batch...

I believe that they have indeed fixed it in the latest batch, take a look at these pictures, this guy has V5 and his hands look white.

Sounds like V6 / KW coming up with a version of their own... PAM 616 carbotech has very good quality of fc material going, would be interesting to see if they make a new case or use the same supplier as the others...

I have the KW version of the FC diver, the inner bezel rotation feels firm and clicks solidily, totally different from my previous Noob and JF versions. It also aligns perfectly with the dial markers at every position.
