XF 15707 ceramic V2

[BIONONE]

Take a look - old V2 with A23J (ceramic) wrong old dial, the updates of the „new“ V2 are missing which can be clearly seen on the video

if you are talking about the low beat version of the FC diver from XF with the 2846 (which is not 23J) everything will be fine, my post refers to the Ceramic diver.

The FC diver got a wet dial with swirls from engraving.

Strange, was assured by my TD that they share the same case set and everything else with only the movement being different for the 23J version.
I’ll post the QC pics here when received to confirm again whether it’s the new V2 version and help out anyone looking to get the 23J version.

One advantage of the low beat is the doubled up power reserve and the fact that while the watchmaker is at it he will do other thing

You can definitely keep it as stock and live happily ever after

Some videos are incorrect, look at xf F.C. v2 movement 2846 and 2836 video, the video is the same (look at the beat rate), so don’t trust what you see, better look at the qc photos and decide.

FastPaced Would you mind to share some more photos of your diver with mikey's cyclops installed in different lightings?

 

[Darude]

slaughterer62 What do you think about the mikey datewheel (new font) when comparing with gen?
When I look at gen the other day, the font of the datewheel looks thinner and longer than mikey's datewheel that I bought (still haven't installed yet)

Very nice.
Though I prefer lighter colors. But this comtrast is very good looking

 

[thewatcher]

Has anyone received the watch?
Hope to see more pictures that taken by the members and share some comments.

Preamble: I owned a lot of Divers during the years. It's such a nice watch imho and if I could and they were all moddable to gen specs I'd buy a lot more. FC diver is my favourite.

Before yesterday I was left with only 1 ss diver noob v5.1 fully modded. Then I bought 3 together: new 15710 JF white dial A2824, new 15706 XF V2, new 15707 XF v2.

Take the JF out of the picture now. It's gorgeous minus the dw for which I have already a Mikey new font incoming.

Impressions: I have to put the 15707 against the 15706 cos both from the same factory, both updated to more genlikeness, both with 2836 movement so they are (or should be) in the same league

The 15706 is simply perfect and imho the best AP rep out of the box. Yes I will change the cyclops to Mikey's and will lowbeat it but any average Joe can be absolutely contented with it for the price: crystal is great, case is good, dial is perfect, cyclops is ok, datewheel is amazingly good with this big, sweet classic font and I am wearing today because I missed it so much



Now the 15707 has definitely improved, the case brushing is absolutely top quality and very gen-like. The new correct tapisserie is definitely better (still a bit too wet imho) than what I had before but the cyclops and dw combo is absolutely not good: the font looks to me exactly like JF or miyota sort of modern font. very small and the cylops does not help overcoming that bad taste in your mouth.

The problem is now Mikey has no stock for 2836 modern font and might not have it for long time so I'm not sure exactly what to do with it

I haven't taken many photos cos the weather is not good and I didnt have much time also

I dump them here








Also another small difference: both have 2836 but 15706 flip date EXACTLY at midnight, 15707 a bit earlier (like 56 or 57)..not a biggie, can be fixed..but just to give you more info.

All markers are aligned, lume is strong and good on all of them (15710 minute hand is way stronger than the other hand and numerals which are black btw), bezel screws are also slightly slightly sunken by a micron

This was based only on the specimens in my hands, YMMV

Are you sure the Ceramic Diver you received is the updated V2 that released by the end of June?
There's another XF V2 that released on May, the font of DW and many other details are incorrect & the dial is wet.

Could you share some more dates when you have time?
Here's a photo that taken by my dealer (a Chinese local dealer, not a TD), I think it's the latest June V2, you can compare it to your watch:

You can also compare your watch to efthimis's QC pics on page 6.

 

[SuperLory]

thanks tonight i check again with those dates on and I'm talking to my TD as we speak

Looking at my photo the dial looks VERY wet but it is not like that irl

QC pictures of the 23J versions for both the ceramic and forged carbon as promised, anyone able to see if it’s the latest V2 or the old V2 without the upgrades?

hello @SuperLory Your ceramic is old , not new crystal + cyclops, IMHO， cyclops in 15707 more better than 15706.

15707( 23j ) is the halt production, I check my TD is out of stock now,
15706 (23J) is only dial not upgrade, others upgrade( the lastest case set，crysta , rubber)

Your QC picture no clear, which TD to order? your 15706 I check the DW is the lastest one.
If you can make sure, I think oder the A2836 will more better.

Confirmed the dealer sent you the older batch of Ceramic Diver from May?
It's great that your dealer accepted to let you return!
