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

[Darude]

Can anyone help to answer my question about the flexible endlinks, please?

Sure, since I’m the one who started talking about the flexible endlknks. Garuda is correct, flexible endlink is more noticeable on the steel version such as 15703/15710. Forged carbon and ceramic is not that noticeable since the curvature is limited due to the material constraints. However, the strap on all gen aps is flexible and the endlink(metal part, the one that is in silver colour between strap and the case) is movable slightly which means it curves around your wrist beautifully.

I watched this video before I ordered my 15707 (by mistake the JF - I'm going to re-lume the hands but apart from that I love it).
Anyway - it seems the ceramic plots are not flexible - 2.40.

Yes the ceramic plots (top part of the endlink) is fixed, but the endlink of the bottom part and the strap are flexible, so it’s just another way of doing it

My source in China just told me that XF has launched AP carbon diver V3 with flexible end-links. Should hit TD soon

Wait, how's that great? Gen doesn't have it?
And if that's all they updated it's not really good news. Wish they adressed the cyclops.

Anything else you guys see? Looks the same to my eye.

A little late to the party but just received mine from M2M. Would def like to try an XS strap because I’m on the last hole and it’s still not snugged enough.

Flexible end links have two disadvantages: they can unscrew the screws that hold them to the case, they create stress on the portion of the case where they rest. Considering the wear properties of forged carbon, flexible end links will probably damage the forged carbon mid-case over time.

What TD sell alone XS strap ?
Or where can I get XS strap.

 

[maison888]

Almost every TD should cary them, I know Puretime def. does.

regardless of the moving or not moving end links i found that the screws which hold them to the case tend to unscrew easily just wearing the watch, i check them often and so should you guys

It seems to me they unscrew even faster and easier with flexible endlinks. Whatever people do, do NOT use threadlock on these screws.

Beautiful, might get one for myself

Is this because the threads are weak? Low quality screws?

Actually, the higher quality screws, even the gen ones, unscrew the most. The poorest quality ones, like the old Noob ones, stay planted in the mid-case.

 

[MrOptional]

are there any differences v3 vs v2 except for end links that you guys see?

 

[APboyboy]

So far i only know that the upgrade for V3 is only the endlinks
