ill stick with the V1 dial, with a good aftermarket crystal will remove the blue tint from the clean crystal. not sure which aftermarket crystal ill use.

Also are ther more people having problems with screwing in the crown? thread is a bit short on the CF.

I still think that blue hue isnt from crystal, the crystal is just little less clear than gen

Btw i will install v2 dial on my v1 watch ( i think i will not swap the crystal) and will compare it with v1 dial without crystal and let you all know what is the truth

Bobi01 Also when you have the V1 dial out the watch, photograph the dial to see if ther is some blue tint in it.. Same like you did with the V1 V2 comparison you just uploaded.

I received the clean dial and it has a very (very) slight blue tint, only noticeable at some angles in some light situations... It is NOT the crystal, as it's able to be seen out of the watch

I understand that workers mount non-stop, without a tomorrow, without looking. but I would say that certainly someone in the clean factory will have deepened by going to look at the detail of the dial or the crystal.
we are still here discussing the hypothetical cause of the crystal ... nonsense. is the hue of the dial v1. that's why they toned in v2.

I can promise you that the printing on the CF is not identical to the gen :)

I just finished putting together a white dial 116500 for my wife, and we ended up using the ARF dial over the CF, mainly because of the white/blue color, and the to thin text print.

There is variations in both rep and gen. But posting several pics, from the internet, with different levels of white balance is just nonsense.

the CF dial is a pretty good dial. Is it identical to a gen, No, is it to blue in the hue, Yes. End of story

interesting you mention the text print on the CF is too thin.

I found the CF v2 print too thick compared with v1. Is the v2 text thickness then more accurate to gen?

the white / blue dial, as defined, relates to the v1. v2 is a warmer color. same thing for too thin writings (problem also related to btf as far as I'm concerned)

Just to clarify you’re saying that v1 has too thin writing compared with v2 right?

my question is- quoting 2841- if the v1 is also too thin compared with gen?

From my comparisons I’ve seen from pics it seems the nice v1 12 o clock text writing is actually NOT similar to gen, and the thicker less preferable one is more gen like. Would you agree?

if you want to evaluate, personally and with your personal preferences, the differences between v1 and v2 can be found in the many comparisons posted by other friends here
