Serial number ends with Y2L3, so I believe this is a v2
the strange thing is my dealer didnt know what I am talking about and he said he was talking to the factory and they also didnt know what I am talking about... he is a non-TD though (with alot of business though)

If someone says yes or no, you going to accept based on that? If you’re happy just take it.

V1 V2… these clean versions of the batman are so damn good, no one is going to know its a rep on your wrist let alone a V something. :ROFLMAO:

Don’t get too caught up in this ‘latest version’ cycle. “V3” will be “released soon” or people will claim they have a “v3” because their specific watch has an “improved something”.
Some TD will then say it is the latest batch, and hey presto you have a new version to chase!

I took a VSF crystal + gasket from DJ36 to assembly on clean GMT, hope it works and will give and additional improvement 🤪

I know that but I wanted to compare it to the v1 pepsi I have. I GLed it anyway and will see.
I wanted to know anyway if there is a way to tell in QC but I guess there is no consensus about that yet

Got my V2 in hand today. Bezel action is actually noticeably improved out of the box. Nice little subtle "clink". Doesn't feel as gooo'ed up with grease.
Is the dial print & crystal also improved compared to V1? 😁
