They just need to fix the green hands and add a ghost outline around the tachy numerals (to make numerals pop more like gen).

The hands will be fixed soon, and I have just received a confirmation from JF the ghost outline is planned for v17 or 17s! :hehehe:

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to decide which one to order. Besides the green hands, according to my knowledge V7 caseback font is closer to gen as V9 or is there another batch?

V9 is better than V7 as on the pictures shown on previous pages.

IMO the V7 is a perfect starter watch as you will never know the real difference without handling both of them side by side.

if you can live with those green hands - go for it. It is no doubt an all over gorgeous piece out of the box even with the flaws and tells that it has.

Thanks for your answer. I decide to order V7, it’s solid and I’ll have a long time from it.

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.

Good point, I think best to waiting now for XF , I wish release it with closed case back can’t live with any kind of fake Deco

they better develop a clone 3120 soon haha

hate the fake deco too - but better than the plain basic look of a 9015 or ETA clone...

in the end you should wear the watch and when it comes to this fact - the deco is irrelevant... just good for some eye candy haha

if XF releases a 15703ST with the same over all build quality - JF need to step up their AP game as their is finally some concurrence and competition again

it clearly says "V7s" and not V9

I think XF needs to drop a 15703ST to compete with JF

Study the upgrades


Sent from the RWI App

he talks about V7 to V8 which was just a movement upgrade. He isn't talking about V9, is he? then i have missed something...

a few pages ago mech500 perfectly pointed out the main differences with his pictures of the refined (and very crisp) diving-scale and the updated case back in addition to the brushing which is not easy to capture on pictures.

and not to forget the A2824 which is a big advantage above the V8 with its noisy and "unmoddable" 9015 miyota.

You didn’t miss anything. He is reviewing a V7.
