Can the newly released XF V2 FC Diver 15706 be considered a super rep?

More gen like strap quality as JF is too wobbly and too soft. Even though many of rep/gen owners prefer JF softness over gen stiffness.

XF is more stiff an texture is different than JF - in conclusion iw ould say XF has a better feel to it.

Does the XF fit a JF v7 Diver?

Dont know but following the logic that the JF strap fits the XF watch you can assume that it will fit ;)

XF produces 2 different DW fonts - one old style (Serifs) and one new style (sans serif) DW font.

For 15706 both would be correct - for the 15707 only the new style DW font is correct for the particular release year.

BIONONE then mine has the "old Style Serif" is it not??

it is the XF low beat FC Diver (bought in Augist this year from TT )

Correct - this watch was discontinued shortly after the new stylesans serif font was introduced and some few 15706 were equipped with it. Same with the 15703.
