Did you order another one mate? what happened to the other blue dial you had?

I sold it mate...but now want another one to alternate with the gen.

The extra bulk on the rep is annoying but I wear my watches pretty snug and as a result the surplus 1mm thickness just sinks softly into the skin.

What bothers me the most about the JF offering is be mismatching dial/hands lume. Hands are white lume and hour markers are green.

This time I may send the rep to Domi for a relume.

I see. thank you! so basically JF can do better if they invest in modding 9015 instead of just putting a deco plate... I guess I'll wait for v4 :\

I'm doing the same. The thickness gives it away too much on the V3. There are some mods you can do to grind down the back plate to get closer to gen thickness.

Very nice. From that angle it looks like it sits pretty flush on the wrist despite being a bit thicker than Gen. Unless you had yours thinned down?

Jep - nicely refined DW Font. Much better now.

I can only imagine that the hands differ from the dial markers because of different suppliers...

Good news is that the lume is matched between dial and hands.

On my previous v3, the hands were white lume and the hour markers were green

Example of previous v3, showing white hands vs green hour markers

Latest v3, with marching dial/hands lume:

I would say my date font is different to yours.
