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

Can someone tell me if the strap will fit a 16cm/6.3 inch wrist?

Barely, if at all. The last hole of the standard strap is around 16-16,5cm, so I'd get a JF XS strap.

Thank you, good to know! Are you sure it will fit on the XF and do you know if any TD can source it?

A few pages back in this thread someone fit a JF strap to the XF, it's just a teeeny tiny bit wider than the case. Every TD should carry them.

Here is my FC 3.0 with Domi"s 2XAR. Could you enlight me about differences with the XF v2 please?

FC%203.0%20one.jpg

Tachy color
hour hand
hand yellow color
bezel screws fitting
crown too large
CD pattern and inner circle (where there aresecond markers) not as good (not enough lines on the squares and on the circle), which make the dial look coarse.


I like your yellow strap though. It looks special.

Thanks for the reply!
However these reasons are not enough to justify buying the XF v2. If all humans have a 10X eye, yes I will buy one. Thanks!

Easy, bro. I am not here to convince anybody to purchase anything. I couldn't care less if a rep is from JF or XF or any random funny-name factory as long as the rep itself is of superb quality.
You don't need 10X eye to spot the color difference though....

Heya bro,
This is the XF V2.

I've not, dipped it in the ocean just to pickup my kid that fell, and washed it under the sink...
Nothing more than that.

Well, I just bought one from Trusty with the Swiss low-beat movement. Let's see how it looks. I haven't had an FC diver since the first release from H-factory. I think this watch is similar to my LW Spido FC but with a better movement I'm hoping.

Just got my xf fc diver today. The quality and gen like is much better than the V6 I had. Definitely a super rep in my book. Photobucket no work so cannot post pics

I checked yesterday and it seemed yes, there was one small O-ring on the inner side of the crown. But I can't confirm because it was too dark to see the o-ring clearly.

Seems this version is a real beauty !

But to compare with the JF v5 , this XFv2 is MUCH better ?? (and it's more cheaper :p)

Thanks !

I won't say which one is better since I bought XF and I am the OP of this thread. My objectivity would be in doubt.

I searched in PT and found that JF V5 seemingly comes with a miyota 9015 with decorations (what they called A3120). It has two problems: 1. rotor noise. 2. progressive date change, meaning that the date starts to flip at around 10 p.m instead of instant date-flip at 12:00 on ETA.
If you prefer Noob or JF to XF, you can consider thier older models with at least a ETA or a ETA clone. Miyota can be good for making PP and JLC reps, but AP is another story.
