Total process for my watch was 6 weeks but I also rejected one during QC process and had the rehaut get aligned on the second one.

I have just sold my V1 and am considering me to order a V2 :) is there any current information about whether possibly a V3 is planned? I think you can not improve much anymore.

I think v2 is out of stock right now. V3 update might be soon

I got the v2 and the only difference to the v1 is the DW...the improved bezel could be possibly a v3

Bezel is a 5-10 min fix with some wet and dry. You don't even need to take it off and the result is perfect. I might post a guide if i can be assed. Point is, its so easy and quick to do its just not worth the upgrade.

I'll try and put one up next week. But i dont use photo sharing sites and rwi does not support direct upload anymore - which is a real shit.

but its so easy to do for a perfect result - it just irks me that so much ado was made by some when its such an easy fix.

There’s a guy down the pub wears one of these and I got to try it on,the bezel teeth are really quite sharp,surprisingly so but the watch is a stunner and would suit me very well.
However I just couldn’t wear it and bump into him, when he already told me he paid £1100.
He also drives a Bentley Continental
You guys can enjoy the SD43 though.

The gen bezel is also very sharp. Muiramas is right: this is a 15 minute fix with wet/dry, or a dremel, if at all. If a V3 just "fixes" the bezel sharpness, then we are letting ARF off easy.

If your only tell is the "sharp bezel teeth" I think the pub guy got the real deal.

Are you referring to fixing the pointy bezel scallop tips? Or the actual sharp feel?

Both. I'll figure out imagur or whatever next week and put up a tutorial. I'm on holiday at the moment. Probably Wedneday.

For me it solved the problem taking into account the v2.5 is still a tad pointy (as well as being very inconsistenet) and also the gen is also sharp.

the best thing about the way i did it is its way easier than any other mod, cannot be screwed up, and does not need tools or any dissasembly.

sorry guys - it would hve been better to mantion it with a guide, but when i read that people want to upgrade just because of the bezel teeth i wanted to say already that there is a easy fix.

I don't get it. He paid £1,100 for it - like one of those swiss fake scams, or did you mean £11,000 (scalper price).

What problem of the bezel do you speak? I could not find anything on my V1.
