Thanks so much for this review. May I know what's the difference between the V1 and the V2? I've googled searched and even searched this forum but to no avail. And on puretime's website there's no update on what's the difference between V1 and V2.

And if there's anyone with a V2, can the V2 also be said to be a super rep on the wrist and first class ++ and nwbig overall like V1?

Initially the only difference was an extra strap added in place of the nato strap, but apparently there was a new batch of V2 that had some issues with print quality on the dial. This review was about the V1 - I have not seen the V2:(

I see. Thanks. Do you know where can I find more information about the print quality issues on the V2 batches?

Wow, that's a great thread, thanks for your time and effort! You've really nailed it with your observations. It looks perfectly acceptable on your wrist. What is the tiny tell? :) Is it the slight misprint on the dial ( text and logo not perfectly centered between the waves)?

I would say he still got a V1, the misprint is not like on the new batch.

Any idea when a V3 or a fix will be sorted?

Great review, I just got a deal I couldn't turn down on the gen so just got it- tried to hunt down the rep but no luck now vsf is no more.
looks to me like the hands are straight brushed whereas gen is more complex sunburst like and the markers are also brushed- not sure if the rep is??
you ain't seeing any of that without a loupe though!!

You're Saying I Can Sell?
Perfect rep. Have it and can testify all written above. Just amazing. V1, basically no objections.
Bought gen Black Black as appreciation to the brand. It is same, but all black ceramic everywhere, glossy, matte and rough.
Sort of understatement.
Wouldn't say it is better looking or more exclusive, just a very nice combo of ceramics.

I have the v1 and the crown will no longer screw into the case. I never over tightened it and never felt and pressure on it. Anyone know if it’s repairable and if so, how?

Maybe the Tube has becoming loose. Common Problem with Ceramic cases. The Tube can be re-glued if Not damaged
