Just got my QC for a v9.5 and I don’t think it is the updated version. I may decline it and wait a little.

Also, am I crazy or is the bezel brushing crooked?

It is definitely crooked, you can see it clearly if you compare the brushing on the case and of the bezel at the top part of the picture. I would reject it.

Request for more closed up QC pics. It seems like the updated inner ring version

Is it a A 2824?

I have asked for another. And I’m going to get better up close pics of the bezel to confirm it is the updated version. Could be but I can’t tell.

Thanks for the help!

The outline on the zero of the 50 index and the 12 has the defined outline though can’t conformed unless more closed up pics are available.

The brushings on the bezel can be better though as it ain’t that vertical

sry, if I am confused, but what do you mean by jumbo?

the AP 15202/5402 was initially called "Jumbo" because of its unusual size of 39mm in diameter which was huge back in 1972 compared to other gentlemen dress watches and such. The wrist presence was a lot different than anything else that was seen before additionally to the size factor.

Understood, jumbo seems really funny for 39mm :D

Lol, watched this video 4 hours ago for check if the green hands reported by KS was also present on the gen.

I think the slightly green hands are a little distracting in an otherwise awesome looking watch....whilst the lume mismatch up-sets the balance of the watch, it is probably not a “tell” with respect to gen they (but I don’t have that level of knowledge). The hands are certainly not as green as the original v9 batch. Even the early JF Divers had mismatching hands lume.

Like mismatch not really an issue under indoor ambient light.
