About to place my order. Just wanna check a few things with you, if you don't mind
1. Hows the crystal? I know its super reflective but is it the same on gens as well?
2. How is the movement? Is it noisy?
3. Finally, how's the lume? Bright? Lasts long?
Hope you can answer the above. Thank you!

Having tried the GEN I must proclaim that the crystal is very good on the V2. A tad milky, or foggy or reflective at certain angles. Clear as day from most other angles. Very GEN like. You will not get called out based on the xtal.
The movement is the most silent P9001 so far. The rotor do spin but its not noisy like other PAMs. Keep in mind that the GENs spin and rattle too.
Loom is insane, very alien green with an excellent durability OOTB.
This is a must buy!
Hi guys, what's the quality of the bracelet on this watch? Close to gen or not?
Secondly, do you know if this watch can support a nato strap?

I have read that the original, in position 2 of the crown, puts the second hand to zero. same as 320 and 1320. Does this happen in this watch?

You're Saying I Can Sell?
Just received my VSF V2 couple of days ago. It was perfect but then I realised one side of the clasp couldn't lock in place no matter how hard I try to push it in. Was an easy fix. Brought to a watchsmith, he greased it up and now it locks and unlocks much easier. Just finding a bit difficult to unlock it. Guess gotta get a hang of it.
The watch itself is amazing. Keeps time great. Looks great and wears better. Lume is decent too. Love it! Really a superrep in my book.

You're right Erick. But there are models that you want for years and for some reason take time to buy. And the day you buy it, you're nervous. 438 is one of them.
By the way, here you are !!!!!
With bracelet and strap.
The strap is gen, of course.
Today I will take it to my watchmaker for full movement service and waterproof at 100mts as per gen.

Do you have a measurement of the caseback? That's rather disconcerting. The caseback of all things.

Indeed, I tried my PAM 44mm caseback opener and it’s too small. I than measured the caseback and saw it was 45mm. I.e not GEN spec. I use the caseback opener on my other 44 cases without issues.
I have encountered this once before with VSF 616 V2. Case is 47mm as per GEN. Caseback is 48mm.

I’m thinking it’s this way on the 1616 carbotech as well. I couldn’t open my caseback when I got it last month either.
One makes the trip around the dial in 24 hours (like the GMT Master where you use the bezel to help tell the exact time) the other in 12 hours (some also have a AM/PM indicator to tell the difference between day and night faster).
