Anyone received AP Diver JF V9 yet?

[SBM]

It's good. You can GL it.

All of them have some wiggle room for the dive-timer, even the Gen.

i can imagine that they did it on purpose... To release a new V9s batch with some minor improvements.

or maybe they need to run out of this ugly lume color before they change it to the nice ice white lume they used on the markers

I’ll post some macros if v8 tachy later. It looks much better than v7.

sounds nice, would also love to see the difference

Let’s start by looking at what the problem is with v7:

V7 sloppy tachy lume

As you can see from the above picture, the tachy lume application is a little sloppy. It’s basically the same for all V7s (with some slight variations):
V7 tachy lume (non crisp):

V7 tachy numerals - non crisp outline

V9 tachy numerals and lume looks much more crisp:

V9 tachy:

I have only had one v9 diver l....so nothing is conclusive but to my eyes the v9 tachy lume is much improved over all the x10 previous Divers I have owned. The cash polish and brush on v9 is also much better. I can never look at a v7 again. They just need to fix the green hands and add a ghost outline around the tachy numerals (to make numerals pop more like gen).

i think it looks great !

V9:

Crisp numerals.

Dial markers actually look clean and smudge free.

Overall I am very impressed with v9.

V9 caseback is also much better than v7.

I’m confused which is the best and flawless JF XF

XF hasn't released a new version of the 15703 yet, I think they should and I am betting it will be better than JF. They are on a roll.

Here you go. I don’t have any comments on it. To my eyes the date window aesthetics look broadly in accordance with AP general design principles, so I happy.

mech500 i appreciate every post you make. Simply gorgeous. Thank you so much for the clarification!

 

[BIONONE]

And i agree with you.

The Dive-Scale is much better and the numbers are clearly refined and sharp. Ghost outline around the numerals would be a nice addition (a bit comparable to the hour markers of the 5167 aquanaut that have a clear outline that is filled with a domed lume dot) Should be possible on the 15703 too.

DW could be improved regarding the font it self and the magnification

(but JF released a factory modded version of a FC 44mm Chrono with higher magnification and a new style DW font with correct appearance - so there can be hope for other models too)

shame on the green hands... I hope they will sort it out in the next batch.

again - thank you for the great review.
