Did this also come with the flexable end links?
Seems like some are, some aren't. H Serial with flexable end links right from JF would be nice.

My watch is the H serial with flexible end links. All a part of the new batch alongside improved caseback, new accurate classic date font, and fixed lume issue.

Is it possible to buy the new datewheel, or does JF not sell the part?

I would check with a TD. I'd assume you can buy just the DW. I just used the guys at trusty to source a new stem and they got the part to me in less than a week. Puretime took weeks to source a bracelet (not even a part lol)

Thank you for the nice review and pics (pls post more!)! I had this (V7) with the bracelet and I let it go because of the heft but now having second thoughts lolol, looks like a gen there :)

I took it to the AD and even let them handle the watch while looking at a gen perpetual calendar. Got nothing but compliments, and they treated me like a king. They even invited me to try on a few pateks (they usually don't let walk ins do that). It is seriously so close to gen it's scary.

(because I can't edit) to anyone thinking about buying one, tl;dr It is almost entirely accurate (only inaccuracies are the cheap rubber strap which is easily fixable and maybe the slightest difference in the 29th on the date wheel. It's seriously amazing what the people at JF have done with this watch. This should be the standard for a super rep, when you can actually hand the watch to an AD and they think it's real :cool:

It's very impressive. Being into rep fashion and rep watches, I can say this is the best replica I've ever seen. Looking forward to when JF makes a 100% accurate AP ROO (non diver). I can imagine it's only a matter of time now :D

Does these new updates also apply to JF AP 15710 too? As you know 15710 is an open case-back model.

This is completely against the rules of RWI and you can be banned for this!!! We don't want any attention in our hobby from the gen factories or authorities and you never, NEVER, take a FAKE watch into the AD ! ! ! ! !

First, I didn't know it was against the rules. I was looking into buying a gen speedy for my fathers birthday and was wearing it. I know the people over there personally as my family has purchased from them before.

I don't believe that the date font would be fixed. If I'm remembering correctly the 15710 came out in 2015. The classic font is only on H serial divers (2011-2014). Any 15710 should be an I serial (2015-) and the I serial watches only use the modern font.

Thanks for your sharp eyes and effort for uploading comparison pictures.

Just curious, are you 100% sure there is only one version of Genuine’s H-serial# case-back ? Only thin font? maybe both thick and thin font version exists on Genuine? Thanks.
