So I reached out to 4th TD today, Puretime, and was told that XF has updated the bezel and DW. Bezel now comes brushed. WHY?!!?! 
I guess they ran out of spare parts. That would explain why they use the same bezel and DW as on the 15707. hopefully a matter of time untill they restock their production.

This is what I was told by almost every TD, including Sead, PureTime, InTime, Trusty, Marvelous, etc. I am told that the new XF v2 comes, and will come going forward with a brushed bezel, because it's correct bezel. And now the correct DW. I agree that on AP website the bezel is not brushed, but just conveying what TD's told me.
I was able to locate some Gens for sale, and some really do have brushed bezels. I am guessing like SuperLory said it depends on a year and servicing. Right now I am debating whether to get these watch with brushed bezel or not. I love the watch, don't know if brushed bezel is enough to stop me from getting it. I see 12 o'clock is slightly misaligned but its no biggie I think.
Here is a link to Gens for sale with brushed bezel for example. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=628964
And here are some pics of the ones that I am thinking to get, can't decide, apparently the brushing is the new norm. Although I prefer non brushed. But legend told me that in regular lighting conditions this will looks just like black ceramic bezel.

At first I did not know what you guys were talking about. The bezel is brushed, yes it is not polished for sure But now I see it. I have a XF V2 and my bezel is like the Gen in the link Grimusa provided. Way different like the way the bezel is finished in the pictures above.
This is a mega "taste question issue" Good luck with making a choice grimusa

I have two questions.
1) Does anyone wear this watch with yellow strap?
2) Are there any female members on this forum?

Hey guys, I reached our to two other TDs and asked them for recent QC pics of 15706. Below are pics of two different 15706 from XF. Are they both wrong as well? I’m going to try one last TD and after that I’m not really sure what else to do. I guess maybe XF came up with an update.. don’t know.
Which TD sells the one on the top pic? I would like to buy there.

I can't because he is not a TD here and I thus am not allowed to do so.
Thanks for quoting what I said before. I have done so much more moddings than I planned... After changing the movement to mido C80 I basically have changed everything in this watch except for the caseset which XF made perfect in my opinion.
