I get it to rebiuld into ETA low beat movement.

it will be 14mm mate. Is that white dial diver in your pic yours? how good is it?
Hands and counter ring are matching and look both great IMHO.
I think they could improve the brushing on the bezel...
BUT the dial looks still shitty.
Incorrect Tapisserie pattern of each square.
old H-Fac dial was the best...
What a shame H-maker was shut down by police.
On this particular model they messed up the whole watch with their V1 dial from their old FC diver. No improvements on this. Still that nipple or bubble foil look.
Cannot understand how JF got everything right on the ugly Neon-Diver-Series but everyone else makes the same mistakes over and over again. Even JF could update his White dial diver to the correct Tapisserie size and surface finish.
Anyways - the over all look is ok, the ceramic finish is good too but as already mentioned the dial is a deal breaker even with that 23j mvmt.

If you are abled to wrap your hands around an H-Fac dial then this version is a very good base for a modded non-franken i think.
A rebrush for the bezel as stated above and i think the watch is good to go. If you are picky then add a Mickey or Legend Datewheel for the A2836 version. I like the fact that they don't use the 9015 anymore as there are more options regarding modding and stuff.
Maybe they will come up with an updated version of the dial in the future...
Anyways - I'm excited about JF's work on their new 2018 diver collection - Maybe they will add up the old 2015 white dial diver to their update-list and rework the whole series of 15710ST dials with the correct tapisserie pattern including the ceramic diver.
I still have the feeling that nothing beats JF in the diver game at the moment 
even if XF/V6 dropped a hot one out of the box with their forged carbon diver V2...

Does anyone know which ceramic Diver on the market is the best? Noob, JF or XF?
(I know all of them have the wrong dial tho..)

brushing and movement is IMO the best on the new XF ceramic diver. Just slap in a H-Fac dial if you can get one and it is pretty much decent out of the box.
The most critical part on the Ceramic divers were the number ring not matching the hands and so on. Then some needed a rebrush etc. etc.
Movement.options on the XF versions are good IMHO
