AP JF V7 on Bracelet

Recommended Posts

RepGuy

Today I received my long awaited package from Mary. Luckily it came before I left for work, so I was able to size the bracelet and take some quick shots. This is the JF V7 black dial on a bracelet, which I have always wanted to try. The dial is perfectly aligned with the outer rotating ring, and the AR is amazing on this. The build quality feels solid, and feels like wearing a chunk of solid steel on your wrist, which I mean in the best way possible. The A2836 has been ticking away since I received the package, and hasn't lost any time over the past few hours. The bracelet is much more solid than I could have hoped for, and adds quite a bit of weight to the watch, while also making it appear bigger. The lume on this watch is amazing as well. In the few minutes it was in sunlight, the dial turned into a torch, although I forgot to take pictures of this. Overall, this is one of the heftiest and most solid feeling watches I have owned, and it really looks the part. It appears the reviews I have read are true, and this can be considered a "super rep". Below are a few shots I took when the watch arrived, more detailed shots, as well as family shots, will be posted whenever I get time this week.

If course, I usually wear one of my AP's to work... And everywhere else at this point :lol:

Thanks! While most of my other AP's have rubber straps, I am really liking the bracelet on this. I purchased a branded AP deployment rubber strap in case I didn't like the bracelet, but I don't think I'll be using the strap on this one

It took about 2 weeks due to Mary needing to swap the watch once before shipping because of an issue. Mary was excellent with QC and making sure the watch was up to spec before shipping

I love this combo. The new JF bracelet is so much more flexible than my old one(which I had sold).

 

Here's mine...

I'm going to get this exact combo. Just not sure if I want to get this or the SS/white 15400 first, I like them both a lot!

I agree that the bracelet looks great on these. I have many AP's with the rubber strap, but the metal bracelet gives the watch an entirely new look. I knew I had to get at least one diver on a bracelet, and the V7 seemed like a good option to do so.

Very nice indeed, the silver diver is my ultimate daily watch. Ive been wearing it since 2013, and was lucky enough to have a super reliable and quiet movement. Enjoy it!

Is the bracelet ripping your armhairs? Had to sell my bracelet, I just couldn't take it.

I mostly wear bracelets on my watchea, both rep and gen, so I don't notice it as much. While there is the occasional snag, I don't find it to happen any more than my other bracelets

I Agree that this is a great combo! The new JF bacelet is indeed softer and more flexible....very comfortable. Did a little work on it to soften the edges and put it in oil for 24 hours...and it's perfect!!

 

Here's mine...

What's your wrist size bro? Thinking if it would fit my 6.75inch wrist.

It will fit easily. It doesn't wear THAT much bigger than on a rubber strap.. It's not like you're going from a 42mm AP to a 44mm AP..
