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

Does anyone have an issue with a noisy rotor that makes a slight scraping sound when shaking the watch? I don’t know if I should ignore it or get the watch to watch smith to fix...

Sounds pretty normal for this watch.

Just needs a drop of oil on the rotor.

I mainly had/have this rotor noise on the Miyota 9015 Movement of my JF FC Diver. Does this rotor noise also happen with the Asian 2836 and the XF lowbeat Movement ([FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]ETA 2846-2)[/FONT] as well? Would be great to know. Thanks.

I have the low beat 2846 no rotor noise whatsoever. runs like a kitten :)
Great to hear! I am pretty close in pulling the trigger on that kitten :), but couldnt find a TD yet. I guess TT is the (only) way to go !?

Inside and outside - best way to remove the tint is by adding a prof 1xAR or 2xAR crystal just according to your preferences while 1xAR is more gen like.

are those colorless ? Cos the cyclops are clearly blue tinted (and to be frank I don't see any green tint on XF xtal)


PS: Another XF v2 with stem issues passed in my hands...really the weakest part of this otherwise excellent product. TG it's small money..

As far as i know Prof crystals are colorlessly coated - but i could be wrong.

It depends on the lighting of your surrounding - i've noticed a tint while being indoors - outside both (15707/15706) are clear and there is no hue to the AR coating...

I have a prof 1x AR crystal and 2x AR cyclops on mine. The Cyclops does have a slight blue tint to it. The prof crystal 1x AR is colorless. When reflecting a light source, it reflects it as is. Versus the stock XF 2x AR crystal which has a greenish tint.

Is there discoloration around the inner bezel closer to the crystal or is that just a reflection?
