In Depth Review - AP ROO Diver JF "v9.5"

[BIONONE]

Does anyone know if JF are going to do a white face version of the 9.5?

There is no white dial 15703.

just a 15710 with opened caseback and hobnail pattern. Only required mods would be a modern font DW, refinement of the bezel numerals and maybe flexible endlinks.
Other than that the white JF is „ok“

Thanks for that information. You obviously know your stuff!

i try my best to participate in a valuable way hehe.

My recommendation would be the 15703ST V9.5

if you can live with the flaws on the white 15710 - go for it - it is beautifully finished for the money.

I would not call those “ghost lines”. The base of the numbers on the dive bezel are first printed on the bezel. The lume is then applied on the printed base, leaving a border all round the lume. The “lines” you mentioned are hence flat borders around the raised lume and they are distinct and clear. Nothing ghost-like at all.

At v29, the gen AP diver 15703 will likely have become obselete or updated to again look different from the rep.

new ≠ better in the Rep world.

^yep, understand your point but would anyone still get a v6 diver over a v9.5? Or a v1 LMPO vs v6 etc. In fact I can’t think of a single watch that OVERALL worse with a new releases. Maybe some small details are better on older revisions but overall newer revisions are better IMO

 

[TingelTangelTom]

Often they fix one flaw and add a different one - that´s why i think that new does not neccessarily mean a better version

Example? Same watch, same maker: 15703 JF V7 was better - IMHO - then V8

So ill just wait and see what new flaws the next version will have to offer Till then i enjoy my V9.5 which replaced my V7

Mine looks fine in the QC pic too (I've just ordered it a few days ago). They probs went through a "submarine patch" recently I guess?

V9 caseback (early V9.5 model as well) vs V9.5 "new batch" caseback.

After all, JF quietly whispers, "sorry, V9.5 early adapters" *( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)*
Both are my QC pics btw.
