The bezel looks rippled or wavy like the first h factory bezels on the seawolfs. Hmmm. If they are like this I may decline and go for the gf.

So I watched the video. In my opinion the gf still looks nicer. The bezel foe some reason just looks like it is not nicely finished and rippled. Im cancelling my order and will go with the gf.

They might using almost the same parts as GF.
Also the same issue with 6 o'clock chrono dial as on some GF Bandits - not centered arrow.

My TD sent a video of the V9F, he showed me how loose the bezel is with a video. It moves around quite a bit, not at all precise like GF.

I guess he thinks the bezel is pretty poor also? I haven't heard back from my td yet but I told him I either want to move to the gf version which is the same price or get the new Avenger 43mm from gf. Yah I jumped on this watch thinking something was up with the bezel and took a chance.

Just as a follow up, I ended up getting another GF Bandit and this version is a LOT better than the earlier one. The crystal is much more anti reflective which was the glaring issue with the early GFs (pun intended). I say buy with confidence!
