date mag is too big.

Yep DW mag is too big. Typical V2 example. Ask for another one unless all of them are like this. Plenty of ppl now with the same issue including me.

DW mag is the same on all V2.
Rejecting it would be a pointless waste of time.

IMO it's not the mag it is the crystal sitting a bit high off the dial.

If that was the case how could it affect most V2s? It would only affect the ones with incorrectly pressed crystal. And I dont think thats it as the v2s Ive had the crystal was perfect height. I've had now 3 v2's all same problem but the other 2 was for some friends who just accepted it and couldnt be bothered sending it back for a refund.

Its a big tell in real life and very obvious

I disagree that its a big problem - the only guy running around fora bringing it up is you. Not that I'm saying its not a problem for you - i just dont think suggesting to the guy to ask for another one helps anyone when they're all the same.

Thats your opinion. If your happy with the larger cyclops buy one and be happy. We are here because we want the best reps we can that are as close to the gens as possible and this is not anywhere close to gen. I got a lot of gen Rolex's on me now so maybe my expectations are higher but come on seriously the mag is such a simple thing to get right which they already had correct.

No one needs to listen to me but I'm just spreading word on facts and what is the flaws. If you want to ignore it then go buy it - I aint putting no gun to no ones head and saying dont buy. LOL

Fine - you say its 'not anywhere close to gen'. Everywhere else the consensus is that its probably the best out of the box Rolex rep available. Not perfect - but if everyone wants to wait for the usual 2 steps forward and one back then thats cool.

Its what - 3x instead of 2.5 - maybe? Thats 20% different - through a little bubble on the dial. Owning several Rolexes you'll know you need to be looking square on to read the date anyway...

Who knows - I havent even got mine yet...

I still think it is one of the best reps and I was one of those guys worshipping this rep at the start and I still think its awesome rep especially my V1s that I still have. V2's not so much.

Obviously you don't have any gens and you haven't handled many. It is an instant tell i'm sorry as soon as you look at the DW front on you will tell even at 1 foot away (i.e) normal viewing distance for a watch - you can believe what you want.

And why are you even commenting on it if you don't even have 1 yet? I've had 5 through my hands now.

Lol - obviously huh? Actually, I have a few - and my company does a bunch of shoots, design and advertising for the industry as well - so I've handled more than many. But I'm not here to argue on the internet like a little child.

Well good then. When you get yours do a side by side comparison with your suppose gens you have and post some pics up on here like I did next to my gen Bluesy. You will notice the difference immediately and it will be the first thing that stands out to you.

Wow - what is it with you? As soon as someone disagrees with you you're all about how many gens you have, and how many gen forums you're on and yadda yadda yadda.

Why the insults - 'obviously you don't have any gens and you haven't handled many...' just ... wow.

I've seen my QC's - even posted the date a few pages back.
