  1. Thank you guys, it really is a nice watch and since it is going to end up being a fantasy watch I am really not that bothered with differences between this version and a gen. I'll just be telling everyone it is a custom order from AP "Edition Unique" 1/1 haha. By the way Legend, could you please kindly change the title of the thread? It should really read Royal Oak Offshore Diver 15710 JF V9 White face Pictorial review. Pic heavy! instead of that long nonsense.
  2. Hi folks, First of all, I'd like to say big thanks to Andrew trustytime for delivering this watch and helping me pick a superb example of this model! Great man to deal with, always responds prompt to emails and with so many payment options transaction was a breeze. Initially I was after the Swiss ETA2824 version of the new XF AP FC Diver but since they were out of stock i settled on this as I had my eye on it for a while and I really happy with the choice I made, now that I had the chance to lay my hands on this watch. Watch is build very well as you would expect from JF, very clear 1AR crystal, nice case polishing and the usual high quality rubber strap. Comparing to the FC version this one, as expected is much heavier, yet still comfortable once on the wrist (and I have small wrists). The dial, although it looks snow white on the pictures, has a slight metallic tint to it once viewed in natural light. I really like that and I find it adds more dept to the 3D effect of the tapisserie. The movement is nicely decorated and I am a real sucker for open case backs, so that is a big plus for me. The etching on the caseback is also deep and crisp. Overall, with rep prices ever creeping up, this at $400 feels like a really solid buy. The watch will come with extra XS rubber strap and Andrew also includes a nice travel pouch with every purchase. My XS strap and pouch didn't make it with the order and so I cannot take pictures of them, but we're sorting this one out and when they arrive I'll add pictures of them as well. As you can see tho, the regular size strap will fit a fairly small wrist (mine is 6.5") so most people should be good to go out of the box. I have used my phone camera with no filters so these won't be studio quality pics but hopefully good enough to clear any doubts you might have in purchasing this watch. Onto the pictures: My plan is to mod this and make a fantasy version with a ceramic bezel, paint the hour hand black with white lume to match the minute hand and paint the second hand tip red. Perhaps add Prof 2AR cyclops as well. Hope you enjoy the picks and once again thanks Andrew trustytime for the awesome watch.
