no need for confusion IMHO.
Yes YOUR opinion, and I have mine. So is your opinion aloud by mine not allowed? There is no confusion at all, people can look at the pictures and decide for themselves.

Calm down mate. If you are offended by some harsh posts by some others i would recommend to grow some skin.

Keep your head up - nobody dominates you. If you feel like it - again grow some skin.

And by the way - typing posts this long about your opinion and how you stand over other opinions is unnecessary (if you grow some skin) and what induces confusion.

Don't twist my words. I am not saying my opinion is better than anyone else's. I am saying I am allowed to post my opinion just like you. If you don't like it- don't comment on it. I don't comment on other people's posts unless they post pictures of stuff completely about nothing in the post.
So IMHO how about you stop posting comments about what I post and then I won't have to make long posts replying about your comments about my posts. That sounds about right to me.

Sorry to go slightly OT, but does anyone have any thoughts about the quality of the ceramic "Royal Oak Offshore Diver Real Ceramic JF Best Edition"

As I said I would.

This is a Vic strap from my XF FC. If I remember correctly (my FC is off having work done on it), this fit snug on my FC using both XF amd Gen endlinks. It is hard to tell from the picture but the gap is a decent size. But in my opinion (at the risk of adding needless confusion) a Vic strap on the v9.5 will be ok. Also the strap to endlink fit (using the v9.5v endlinks) was a hair loose. The strap endlink fit using XF and Gen plots was snug. Again it will probably be OK for most people.

This is the another Vic strap on the v9.5 with v9.5 endlinks. Again it is hard to tell from the pictures, but the gap is big and the v9.5 endlinks to strap fit is loose. So if course there are variations in Hand made straps. This Vic strap on my v3.5 and on a JF v7 fit had about the same size gap as the other Vic strap in the first picture did. But again the strap in that first picture fits snug (hard to get the bar out when it is on the watch).
I am going to test my AP Bands strap later. But I won't shitpost up anymore with my pictures or opinions. So whom ever buys an AP Bands strap for their v9.5 let us know how it fits, and your risk of buying a strap that doesn't fit will benefit the rest of us in the hobby!

Picture of Gen I found on ebay, my guess os that it is authentic because the Timing ring had the outline on the numbers, and I haven't seen anyone fit a Gen timing ring to a rep yet. But who knows, maybe someone has.
Anyway, I based my opinions off of this picture compared to the v9.5 I bought

Just got mine. I like it. Very comfortable, sits nice on the wrist. Too dark to take pictures now.
I’ll try to post some tomorrow.

There's a thread dedicated to this watch, which I'm sure you'll be able to find if you search for 15707. Overall opinions are very positive

Very solid piece. It’s got weight that the rubber strap offsets. This watch in full steel would be a beast.
like my 15707 the watch seems to feel larger than it measures

I have one on SS bracelet and believe it or not it doesn't feel much different of the wrist than my rubber bracelet one. Only thing I don't like is the SS bracelet is thinner in width than the rubber bracelet. I wish they made an SS bracelet that was 24mm at the clasp, that would be my ultimate AP - 42mm AP with 24mm SS bracelet.

Just read the review, very nice. I also got a faulty watch from puretime. Crown was ,is crooked ,but it hasn't broke off yet. I've taken more interest in the diver since the 9.5 came out, but I still tend to want a larger diameter watch 45mm plus ...
