No one knows. I don’t think anyone has the newly released V6 yet, but if BVF and GF are already outstanding, does it really matter?

Worth noting anyone buying the large 40mm BVF on bracelet.

Normally with bracelet watches I remove 2-3 links to get a perfect fit.

With BVF bracelet it just fits me. I have a fairly small wrist 7.25”.

Anyonw on a large wrist, which in my opinion would be for the 40mm should buy a spare bracelet for links.

Yes it will be fine. Few posts above a member had a gen strap on yellow gold BVF I believe

I bought a gen strap for the blue BVF and it was A-Ok. Not the case for the KOR, though. One side of the strap wouldn't stay put.

Good point mate - same happened for me and I was surprised!

leo6929 where did you purchase the gen strap?

We we don’t have a boutique in Scotland as fare as I’m aware :(

Can't seem to find any comments in this thread about any issues with the GF 35mm and it seems to be the favorite. Safe to say it's a super rep or at least nwbig?

I have been through all the posts on this thread and decided to go on for the GF 35mm... it is a pretty decent watch

Just got these QC pics. The crystal looks way off to me... Thoughts? https://imgur.com/a/rdQpqHD

For what it's worth, as you already contacted the TD, it looks to my eyes as if the reflection on the bezel makes the crystal appear crooked. But roughly measuring the distance from the bezel screws to the edge of the crystal itself fails to reveal any real abnormalities to my eyes. :eek:hwell:

I agree it's kind of hard to tell. The TD agreed on the RL though maybe it was off. I'll probably just GL the next one even if it looks a little off and just hope it's angles.
