Just got my ZF Diver today, and they release a new one the same day… would be nice to see how the new factory stacks up against JF and ZF

It will be the first 15710 with a clone movement so interesting to see. Unfortunately I doubt they'll have fixed the slow date change

I guess a 15720 rep isn't coming anytime soon? Also sucks there's no basic black 15720 in the same vein as the blue, grey, and green variants. The 15710 isn't even made anymore and looks the same as the 15703 from 2010.

There are 15720 reps available already.

There is a black version with a ceramic bezel, look at post 1294.

Ah I found them. Not ZF/JF quality though right?

If you’re comparing the current 15720 reps to JF/ZF ones then yes the quality is subpar.
but I wouldn’t worry about it this way because gen and rep APs have nothing to do with each other. If you have confidence you can pull anything off.

Yes and I suggest you spend more time reading and less time asking. All the info you wanted can be found by reading.
Ok will go with 15703 JF V10 then seems to be the most accurate AP super rep, except for the sound.

“Super rep” is very subjective and for me there isn’t any super rep AP divers. All are flawed. The ZF diver scores higher for me given the dial, hands, and datewheel but to each his own. Just buy what you like and enjoy it. All the best.

Yes, I've read that in your previous posts.
I'm annoyed too by the font on the date wheel and the black shade of the dial.
All the fonts on ZF seem to be better.

But the reason why I am asked was, because I am not very sure, what all the drawbacks/flaws of the ZF are.

Well first rule of getting an AP rep is to always remember it’s not a gen, no matter how close it looks. The ZF diver passes as a gen on the wrist in real life for most people you meet. I won’t be able to call one out on the wrist of someone unless I examine it at nose distance or with a loupe. The beat is 28800bph for the rep and 21600bph for the gen. The date change isn’t instant. The cyclop is slightly different from gen. That’s about it visually.
