yes I showed him the exact dates as shown here and the 26 as in the advertisement shots and we agreed this is not what I paid for

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.

I see, thanks for your insight!
Ordered from chazingtime but currently both watches have been rejected due to the badly aligned bezels.
I’ll post any QC pics I get of the new watches to confirm the changes again as my eye can’t tell the different versions apart

I have the XF FC diver and it is the best rep I have ever seen. This ceramic version seems to have corrected the one weak point the XF has and that is the cyclops.

A few more shots. It feels very comfortable. Rubber is neither stiff nor soft (real rubbery, like a cheap Pam strap)

sits securely on the wrist .

Gotta love DHL. What holiday?

Damn I'm orgasm lol, the Ceramic Diver is such a beauty!
I think I'm gonna get rid of my XF FC Diver, orange looks much better than yellow imo...

Do you guys think is it necessary to change the cyclops to Mikey's 1xAR?
Or just keep it as is? (I've purchased Mikey's tho...)

Yes, the stock cyclops is still pretty shit if you compare with the gen

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)

I have not changed my opinion about Mike's DW: the new font DW from Mike is very nice. The gen cyclops has a touch more mag or is raised higher over the DW so that the gen numbers look a bit larger. It is a small difference that only people on these forums seem to be concerned about.

A few more shots today. There’s a bevel on the bezel (say that three times fast) that has a real shine on it. It captures your eye when you look at it from an angle.
i like it. The watch is measured at 42mm but it has a feel like 44mm. Sits on the wrist very nicely.

Awesome! Got my FC Diver XF V2 last week and I have already ordered the ceramic.
It's going to be an expensive year for me.

Congrats!!! I am waiting mine to be shipped along with an ARF Sub, your looks great!! What’s your wrist size? How does it feel? Never had ceramic diver, had the steel and felt is a bit heavy for my taste so I let it go

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
Is this the FC you're talking about?
