Yeah, I guess I have to wait until they run out of those green hands, and then buy one for myself :)

Do you know if it's easy/difficult to relume? Can any watch smith do it, or would that require sending to professionals?

I'm in the usa... so not easy to mod... many people here could be making hundreds of thousands of bucks per year and wear casio, and be perfectly fine with that lol.

Hopefully that will be soon as i want to exchange my V7 A2824 Diver as soon as possible hehe.

A reluming is not that difficult and easier than reluming the numeral diving scale or the hour markers themselves. That said it should be possible for every professional watch smith to do a reluming using the correct lume color. You will be safe to browse the forum and find a local modder in CONUS.

and regarding the last thing - yeah we see flaws that nobody of the gen world would ever worry about... But in the end those things make this hobby so fantastic ;)

Got new QC pics. Hands still green. So that’s x2 fresh divers direct from the factory with updated DW but green hands.

Yep, I agree.

Green hands simply look ugly IMO...it’s irrelevant that “others won’t spot it on your wrist”....I will see them every time I look at my watch and that’s what counts.

I would suggest a v7/8 (which doesn’t have the green hands) BUT after owning a v9, I can’t look at the sloppy bezel numeral lume on v7s in real life.

What I noticed is that they charge really fast. A bit of light and it turns green.
After a night in the dark, once I open my wacht box it looks like they are white. Close to the hour markers.

Yep. Exactly. That’s why some people think they have normal white hands...until they stand next to a window and then...boom

Good points mech500

v9 seems like a better watch overall than v7, except for these hands. Like right now I wouldn't go for a v7, but I can't go for a v9 either.

I guess I am going for forged carbon xf v2 and maybe 15400 jf v3. And once they produce 15703/15710 v10, ill get that one granted no green hands.
