if i remember right - the problem was limited to the majority of 15703 and some of the 15710...
But in the end i didnt really care as the hobnail pattern of the 15710 on the black model is so far off from the gen that it hurts IMHO.
The white one was a such a good attempt...

Really? I never heard about the hobnail pattern being off.. But I am definitely not an expert.
But I don't think most of people will be able to tell the difference, no? But green hands would raise eyebrows from someone who seen AP before...

just compare the gen with some high res pictures of the 15710 from JF... way too bubbly and round and kind of wet due to the paint - the gen has a different appearance.

I have to adjust my statement - it is acceptable (more than the V1) but still not right IMO
Gen for reference (very sharp, well defined, not too much paint, kind of dry, not too wet):

... well, again $400 rep vs $15K watch... as long as 99% of people can't tell the difference - I am good
you are completely right mate. Sometimes statements like mine are annoying as hell - i know that hehe

New DW but hands still green.
Thanks for confirming that the hands are still green for the colorblind.

I wish if someone could confirm that 15710 still have green hands.. reached out to TD to check, but if anyone could chime in that would be awesome.
For mine from TS.
MYIOTA, great watch but still green hands.
Not a big issue for me.
I am impressed by the overall quality.
The glass is not worth replacing in my opninion

different suppliers is the answer how things like that happens,
JF Doesn't produce every single part of the finished watch.

Yeah, I guess I have to wait until they run out of those green hands, and then buy one for myself
Do you know if it's easy/difficult to relume? Can any watch smith do it, or would that require sending to professionals?
I'm in the usa... so not easy to mod... many people here could be making hundreds of thousands of bucks per year and wear casio, and be perfectly fine with that lol.
