Photo Review: XF new 15706 / 2*AR + XS rubber strap

[nine]

Here is the review for new XF AP 15706.

Now Movement which I hand on:
XF 2836
ETA2836
ST(A23J 21600)
ETA2846 (21600) the correct low beat 21600kph.


XF2836 and ETA2836/2846 can exchange(Hands and Dials are same ). ST(A23j 21600) can not exchange.
And we need take care about Rep movement LGf2836, it is near 1:1 ETA2836.

Case: FC case + titanium caseback ,42.2*13.9cm, as Jf about 42.2*14.4cm


Strap: 2 size ：
Ms :7.3/11.6cm
XS : 6.5/10.5cm，
Dont forget ask for best quality rubber, there are more than 3 grade quality from XF.

New MS or XS Black rubber strap, quality as same as JF's.


Obvious improvement:
DW：Decently good ,font corret.
Dial - New matt-black + Correct CD pattern+ glossy surface with spray lacquer
Crystal: 2AR transparency ,crystal is very clear
Minute hand color looks nice, Correct hand shape
New yellow inner ring to match the genuine color
Thicker numeral superlumed on inner ring like genuine.



Some flaws need improve:
Caseback etching need more deep and smoothness
DW crystal need more transparent
Light green/yellow crystal light reflection

As we can see，XF had an effectiveattempt to make 15706 as close to Gen as possible.
And it is about 100USD cheaper than JF factory.
It is the best price and quality nowdays for choice.





Double-AR glass
Dial -glossy surface with spray lacquer

HAND- Minute hand color looks nice, Correct hand shape
Dial - New matt-black + Correct CD pattern

Mone came in today. The crystal is definitely clear, but at certain angles it looks blue similar to a IWC crystal.
Band is definitely nicer than the one that came on my HF FC diver. All in all, very nice. I am going to send it off along with my mashed ip FC to get taken apart. I will try and have side by side pictures this dial and my v3.5 wet dial taken so I can post them. I will also send the pictures to Slaughterer to see if he has an opinion what dial is closer to get, this dial or the v3.5. I did notice this dial does have more line per square than all the others. I am just not sure how "wet" looking the gen dial is. The HF dial is not as wet looking as the v3.5 dial..

Good to know thank you !

Just ordered one from Toro, would you say that the strap is pretty good next to a JF rubber ?

 

[FastPaced]

I think it is pretty much the same. In fact, I will try the JF plots on it and compare it to my JF XS strap. Who knows, maybe they use the same strap supplier.

 

[themannier]

You're right ! They might be the same
Will post some great pictures once i get it, look forward !

 

[Keylog74]

This is a quick picture of mine

 

[themannier]

Looks great thank you !

 

[FastPaced]

One think that I noticed, the caseback in the XF isn't that good. The bevel is different from the Gen and so is the line that goes around the outside by the screws.

 

[themannier]

I just accepted my QC and i wanted to share some pics....First one is gen for reference !!!

 

[AgentPena]

The XF tachy looks really good and convincing, anyone knows whether the tachy is compatible with Noob v4? I'm seeking for an upgrade.

This actually looks amazing - I wonder why none of the factories have put a 6-beat movement in it? Is it that hard?
