I am going to buy the white faced one - 15710. Does the Black faced one - 15703, look any different than the v7 except for the DW?

I need to see the other dates but it feels like the DW is wrong. Too bold imo. (source: My friends own gen divers (H, I, J series)

Tachy looks good, that tachy on a v3.5 and you're set.

Is it Gen like or still wrong DW ?

It's wrong. Doesn't look like modern or classic. Too bold.

Tachy looks like an improvement though.

Brushing - we will see when someone receives one.

Apparently the detailed bit of the caseback is rhodium plated

white 15710 + summer sipping cocktails on sandy beach = pu55y magnet. only wished AP used ceramic on the crowns

make sure y'all get those divers waterproofed. not a good look with a flooded diver during pool parties

Oh sorry my bad i tought the Diver on Chrono24 was with a steel bracelet!

I think your Post made me buy the watch now because the font is still near gen if you compare it to your link.

The bezel screws seem to come with polished edges. And the brushing looks something different... wonder how it would look side by side with a V7...

The date is still shitty IMO but as it comes with A2824 we are fortunately abled to replace it with a mickey DW.

Case Back doesn't look too good... IMO the casebook of the older v7 got the Font of OFFSHORE better... and not so bold. Could be a difference in different batches of the gen and rep.. who knows.

Otherwise the state the tachy as "correct font now" but i don't see the update :D
Maybe side by side we will all notice the differences...

I'm going to order the white one too. Now as it got a freaking nice dial i have to pull the trigger. Back then when i got the V2 white dial i was still unsatisfied with the look of the too small and too much raised squares.

your picture is from an older batch of the old reference 15703ST and it is the H-Series. This is the old styled serifs font that Mickey is delivering. But we are looking for the modern DW font - mikes does DW with this modern font too.
