ZF Diver

[legend]

Wow this thread escalated quickly lol :fuelfire:

Back to the star of the thread.

This is a beautiful Rep watch, that I’m more than happy to wear for what it is.

Hope those that want one get one soon. Be patient it seems TDs are slowly getting stock. I highly doubt it will be permanently unavailable.

Currently, I think this is the rep 15703 to go for. It will be a super rep for me if the XF 15706/7 movement and dw is transplanted into it.

Thank you for suggesting this model to me Al, very happy with it.

Here are some lume shots guys. I’m not sure but I think I read on the forums somewhere that the gen lume is green and I believe other Diver reps give off a blue colour? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Most of the rep diver lume glows green when charged. The blue ones you saw have individually customized lume.

did a very noob thing, managed to get the inner bezel stuck while trying to align it to the markers..oops

also wondering, any good aftermarket short straps out there?

Oh that's unfortunate. Luckily i had read on the forum to leave that thing alone! I believe both Rubber b and Horus have straps.

Here is the rubber b version: https://rubberb.com/en/strap-audema...re-42mm-swimskin-alligator?selected-color=138

Can't comment as to quality as i have ordered a Rubber b but yet to receive.

for rubbers you can try these as well

Would you award the same merits for ZF 15710 considering their similarities(15703 and 15710) and coming from the same factory. Cheers.

The main difference is the see through back. I would go with the 15703 because the see-through movement is a giveaway on th3 15710. Again to ones who know not regular people. Plus if I am not mistaken the 15710 has Miyota movement I could be wrong. I would stick with 15703 ZF if you can find it. I didnt have such luck. The only one that was avaliable is the JF 15703 v10 and v9.5. But both look amazing to me 703 and 710.

Not sure who you’re directing the question to but my answer is no due to the open caseback of the 15710. They will never be equals in this aspect unless the 15710 rep uses a high quality clone movement.

Thank you for the prompt and decisive answer, am going to be patient and wait for the ZF 15703.

3 thing need to get perfect ZF 15703.
1. Cyclop.
2. Movement (low beat)
3. Strap (JF v10 make best strap)

I like the brush on ZF however gen will be little deeper. Might do it later.

what you dont like about the cyclop ? I find it quite truthful and verosimile to 10 years old 15703

Ps: i just casually checked c24…what the hell happened to the prices ? Went up by so much ???

or even the relatively new 15711IO. The diver cyclop surface is round and not flat, and ZF has repped this well IMHO. Maybe clarity can be improved a little yes but the AP gen diver cyclop is definitely not the invisible flat double AR one which is popular with the newer or less learned guys.

as usual 100% factually correct.

This is exactly what I'm doing, finally got a ZF so moving the low beat movement from my JF V6 hybrid as soon as it arrives. Then I'll be happy. For a while. Probably til v2!

I dont think zf making v2. This is the best of batch of ap 15703. Nothing need to update. Probably they will move to off shore model!

I'm kidding. It felt like we hadn't had a 'wait for v2' moment from repworld for a while!

I agree I don't see what they could really improve from here. It will be iterative batch changes from here, so happy I've got a two divers to make a really nice one out of.

Finally received mine after 2 months, snapped some quick photos. I've had a JF v9.5 and V10 and right off the bat I def. like this a lot more in terms of overall feel and look. I don't study my watch like some of you guys do so I'll let you guys be the judge. Not to mislead anyone but the one thing I did notice is that the watch feels/wears smaller than the JF models. JFs feels very bulky compared to this, I'm not sure it is that gives off this illusion.

maison888 nice photography. what lens you using?

Thanks G! Nothing fancy it's an old Nikon DX kit lense I mounted on a D300s.
