For some reason it doesn’t show the price for me on InTime. That’s weird.

It’s on the front page

Here's my opinion, feel free to agree or disagree!

Better than v6f SW201 that I own:
- finish of hour markers is pristine
- better hour lume markers (V6F looks like stickers up close)
- slimmer case
- way better rotor and movement finishing
- better looking clasp

Still not perfect to Gen:
- Date font is barely off
- Hour lume markers still aren't as bubbly as gen
- They'll never be able to fix the seconds pinion until they make a custom movement (specifically the metal ring at the center of the seconds hand, gen is all white with a slight white bump)
- Dial doesn't have the sheen of the gen, and I'm hesitant it will have the same brown-grey-black depending on the light.

Lol. I know....it’s crazy how many good reps are being released this year. The industry is on fire!

Apparently stocks will be available on 25th!

Aside from this one, what other "good" reps were released this year so far?

Puretime just listed it as 8.8mm ... which is so close I doubt it’s noticable. However the date font still seems way over to the left so it might not be due to a prototype rather than a shit date wheel! Can’t have it all. I really want this one but only if the datewheel is centered ! That’s my biggest pet peeve - I rather have the old wrong font ...

I'm pretty sure it's the same prototype which is being passed around, especially because the watch is not currently in stock. We should be able to see if it's a production issue after the 25th when more photos start to pop up with other dealers.

+1 this

Same thing with the 15202 - there were some TDs that had the same prototype with the same crooked AP logo etc.

That would be amazing. Really looking forward to some QC pics sucks that summer is coming to an end this would have been such a killer summer watch.

They are not going to spend all that time on this watch to then sell it with a completely left justified datewheel, honestly what is wrong with some people?!!!
