Mini Review of JF's AP 15703 V10
- Thread starter kennygconspiracy
- Start date
Hi. Never had an AP, I know photos can be deceiving on an angle. But this one is totally wrong in my opinion. Any of you can confirm whether the photos are really bad or the problem with the watch?
Well, this is mine for your info (QC accepted). Be aware, as you can probably see the shot is not taken straight so there is a slight misalignments due to the angle....

My QC photos also show things like this but they are taken at an angle. This picture looks pretty straight to me. The only thing that looks particularly bad is the 5 o clock marker. Ask your TD for more pictures if possible.
(Review continued)
Looks like the post moderating rules have changed, so I am continuing the review here.
As shown above, the inner bezel numerals are now 3D with ghost lines, and not flat like before. This makes an enormous difference and adds to the premium visual interface of the watch.
Lume
One of my favourite aspects of the 15703 diver is the orgasmic lume. It looks full and complete, instead of being thin and choppy like previous versions.
Even after walking away from natural light the lume blazes like an inferno in the dark or even low light conditions. It's absolutely brilliant!
Case and Strap
As you may have noticed, I've taken the liberty of taking underwater shots to emphasize the contours and beauty of the watch, but also in the spirit of the diver, albeit not 200m in an sea cave
The brushing is spot on, and not excessively done. The finishing is believable and premium. With the caseback, the font and engraving is as excellent as usual, indicative of JF's commitment to quality.
Strap and Linkage
The rubber strap is the best I have ever handled, and is above the SMP 300 and Oysterflex in my opinion. It feels like I am being held by an angel. The printing is also very nicely done with no errors.
The strap is connected somewhat loosely, and based on watching gen watch reviews, this is exactly as per gen spec. JF's clasp is also very premium with no squeaks, and very solid in handling.
Movement
The movement is one of the most beautiful you'll ever see. Unfortunately in the 15703 it's tucked away underneath a closed caseback.
Final Thoughts
$20,000 vs $398? The answer is easy. I personally would never buy a gen AP no matter how wealthy I was. JF allows me to enjoy the incredible experience of wearing a 15703 without dropping a payment for an Audio Quattro on my wrist :lol:
The 15703 is surprisingly versatile and undercover with the rubber strap. I have the metal bracelet I paid extra for as well, and that too is beautifully built. Later on I will include photos of it
There's nothing bad I can say about this watch, and as short as the review was, I hope the photos help in some way to convey my awe and sheer respect for JF and this watch.
Score: 10/10
Thank you for reading all the way through. Please let me know what you think, and add to the conversation :cheers:
Seeing above pics, color Lume seems different from dial to inner bezel.

Just took delivery of mine.
How do the hour markers line up with the inner bezel? It's hard to tell from most pics.

Hi, I need your help. This is a watch that I accepted after consulting on the forum - that the photo could be taken at an angle and the markers do not match.
Unfortunately - when the watch arrived it turned out that it did not fit. Now the clue - is the bezel or the dial to blame?
I wrote to Andrew and he said the bezel was 88USD shipped. It's not a big shift, but it bothers me and I wonder what to do.

I believe I decline exactly this watch from yourwatch maybe 3 months ago ????????
It has same crocked/wonky 6 marker
What you’re suggesting is baseless (though theoretically what you said could be true)
Lots of reps have rhe exact same flaw. It’s not a batch of 4-5 watches being circulated to the dealers. It’s literally hundreds.
So saying it’s the exact same watch based on the marker at 6 is hardly justifiable, and not recommended since it’s a moot point which cannot be proven or disproven in the end, and it hardly matters in the context of what the member was trying to communicate.

You already asked this in the ZF diver thread. Don’t do it again here or anywhere else. Be patient and wait for your answer or read more and you will find the answer yourself.
