Apparently JF are releasing a new Diver with other improvements over the inner bezel. Stay tuned.

My wallet is ready. My v9.5 is sad it will see less wrist time and likely become a beater.

Where did you get this news from? And any approximate time frame for the release?

I bought four straps (two leather from ziczac and two horus) when I heard the v10 release so I hope it is very soon lol

Looking forward to this. Always hard to know how long it will take a factory to release these days, but looks like it's going somewhere.

My TD told me that the new inner bezel is far more complicated than expected and can't be bought anymore. I guess the failure rate was just too high. So I canceled my order for the new AP Diver, bought a used one here in the marketplace and changed the watch in my order from my TD to something else

So it looks like there were just a few lucky ones that got the new inner bezel. But I don't care about that too much anyway to be honest, so I can live with the older one.

Or you can get a gen dive bezel.
The "briefly updated" one has its own tells anyway, take heart that it is not 1:1 when you know where to look.

I've got other news. There is a new v10 coming in the next 2-3 weeks that will have the 3D inner bezel as well as other improvements over the v9.5. My order with the TD is still on for the diver, let's wait and see what happens.

i have been looking for one, but seems that these are more and more complicated to source... at least for the people have been in touch with ....

I have the same problem. I would really like to get a GEN Diver bezel but couldn't find a proper one until now.

And who told you that?

My TD.

I heard the same news from my TD. Let's hope and practice patience.

Anyway I really love this watch despite its flaws. The Cyclop and inner Bezel are the only things which disturb me. The other flaws I don't care to much about and that's the point. It's for me and not for showing off to experts. But this hobby is a journey, so let's see what builds will be in the future to satisfy my mind.
​​​​​​​I am very grateful for the expertise shared here so the progress never stops.

I love my v9.5, I am curious what other changes are in the works... any insight beyond dive bezel markings?

No other info as of now but i've asked my TD for some more insights. Will update when I receive them.

 

[Anonray]

Got a reply regarding the next update. My TD told me the latest news they got from JF was they are now only upgrading the bezel in the new version. But I personally never trust these factories before launch. Now let's just wait and see what they have in store for v10.

 

[SHB]

Awaiting that v10 release

 

[Marklar]

I'm waiting to receive my 9.5, without ghostlines (even tho QC was subpar).

Looking forward to the new version and its overall look.

 

[Just Cavalli]

Also waiting for the new release to pull the trigger, I think they’re waiting to clear the v9.5 stock before release.
