Am I the only one still seeing a yellowish colour especially on low light conditions?
This is the gen to compare

Check this out, same watch different light settings:

One looks yellow and the other looks white.

In real life, you don’t see any yellow.

I got mine for my wife. She loves it. She wasnt a watch person before me and definitely wasn’t a rep believer. After I showed her some of mine and we had the opportunity to hold them next to some gens... she is a believer. She now has an AT (now needs some movement work) A 30mm DJ and this.

No pictures because she will not remove it from her wrist.

Guys,

Just received the QC photos from TD.
Is that only I see some issues in printing of Cartier name over the guilloched dial? Or it’s some kind of image compression effect?

It’s absolutely stunning! I think it’s a lens/matrix issue when making a photo of guilloché dials. It looks different under different angles

Who is the best TD for a v6F?

I just received an AF and very pleased with it.
Anyone know what size screwdriver blade is needed for the bracelet? 0.5mm or 0.6mm?

This might be off topic, but I can't find any answer to it. I was doing some digging on this model and found out that AF with CAL.076 is the best to go. Is it really worth spending extra $200-$300 for automatic movement? Can someone shed some light on this please!

That's to have same beat frequency as gen. If you just want the watch, quartz at 33mm is well accepted for a lady's watch. If you want the second hand but don't want to pay for gen spec, the AF with seiko auto movement (nh05?) is just fine. The higher beat of gen spec won't be noticeable to all but the most discerning of enthusiasts.

Thanks for sharing the info! I think I'll just pull a trigger on CAL.076 movement and make my wife happy..too bad I can't buy gen for her... lol

My wife has the Seiko quartz version. She loves it. She has learned to rotate here watches but isnt a fan of the winding, so quartz it is.

which did you go with?

 

[Marclnd]

It seems that AF is the best version as the case has same thickness as gen, whilst V6f is 1 mm thicker...I am still undecided between the two version as one AF is $100 more and some people say it is not worth the difference...Any inputs here guys please?
