Anyone did a pressure test on the rep?
​​​​​​
not sure about the HEV is it necessary to seal it as well? So far i read some do some don't

I did a 4,5 meter dive with it, no problem.

Wow looks fantastic with gen crystal. ARF crystal is really good for rep, but can’t be like gen. What else is left to do to it? I can’t see it looking better than this. Amazing.

Thank you . I have a gen crown and tube which I may install, but I may end up putting it on my sub instead.

This is V1, I have V2 in the mail. V1 had darker insert plus incorrect DW and caseback engravings.

I really hope they don't do it. The one with no coronet is the 50th anniversary version, and the one which everyone will want in the future.

Secondly, how many coronets do they want on its face?! - rehaut, above the logo, bottom of the dial, and on the crystal as well. along with ROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEX written all around the face? its becoming a bit of a mess really. They should clean it up a bit rather than trying to put branding on every bit of the watch they can.

This looks ridiclious and ruins the whole dial lol, Rolex must be going down because its unbelievable what stupid ideas they have lol

Ah ok didnt know that.

Hello RGI friends!
Been following the forum for some time,just registered .
After reading all the wonderful reviews,I decided to treat myself with one of these babies.
Can you guys help me out with my QC?
How does it looks? DW,cyclops,bezel?
One thing I’ve noticed,Seems that the LEC is slightly off.
Im having trouble posting the pics,so here’s a photobucket link to the album:

Are you kidding? You can't even see the LEC.
Also, QC pics are not sent to you so you can get other peoples opinions - if you don't have any realistic concerns, then accept the watch.

Just want to figure out if I’m actually getting the V2 with updated bezel and DW.Im no expert , that’s why a second opinion is much appreciated.
These are my concerns.
Photobucket resized the picture thats why the LEC its not visible.
If the LEC is misaligned could the whole crystal (cyclops) be too?

Thanks

You cant get a V1 any more - no one can. So its a V2
The cyclops is not misaligned.
