Has anyone regulated this movement ? Mines running a bit slow. Probs 10 seconds a day.

Yes, regulated my movement at a local watchsmith.
Process took 2 minutes, it is still off a few secs a day but this is completely acceptable if you ask me.
Ok don’t suppose anyone got a pic of the movement before I get mine on the regulator

UPDATE:
Yesterday i got my ARF bracelet/clasp. I played around with all 3, and here is the verdict
SEL fit: I have absolutely perfect gen spec SELs with the ZZF. The Arf fit was pretty damn good, but the ZZF was just a tiny bit better, so im keeping the ZZF bracelet on the watch becouse of this.
Look/feel bracelet: The ZZF and ARF bracelets are identical in brushing, screws, feel and weight, if i didn't look at the clasp code, i could not tell them apart.
Look/feel clasp: The ZZF is imo straight to the garbage! The shape is wrong, its pointy and has sharp edges, the locking feels cheap and rough, and the glidelock is a joke. It feels / looks just like the crap you would find on a Noob.
So in conclusion, the best combo for me (Based on the SEL fit) was ZZF bracelet with ARF clasp.
Below are some pics:
Top ZZF
Middle ARF
Bottom Gen
Sorry for another off-topic question, but I’d love to know how the Glidelock-Feeling between the Gen and the ARF differs. Is the ARF nearly as smooth gliding as the gen?

The vid is made by one of our members. He made it because other members asked him to make a comparsion. He posted it here couple of weeks ago.
Bezel, clasp, bracelet can be very different due to the QC on the same model. I have two ZZFs with one having a bracelet like ARF smooth and quiet. The other is squeky and a bit rigid. Clasps are also wordls apart between the two along with SEL fitment. So two people reviewing can get completely different experiences due to the QC and thus the conflicting statements.

Hey, so I just received my V2S. I was told in specific that the DW and bezel were lined up but to my dismay, the pearl is off from the center by a half click. It’s not that noticeable in the pic but very much so irl. How upset should I be and can I get it fixed or replaced?

Is it worse if you go one more click

Yes it’s a little worse than this side. Idk what it is but the whole face of the watch is crooked even without the pearl alignment. It seems the 12’o clock marker tilts left and the 6 is slightly off too. Very unhappy. I was sent rather blurry QC pics, and the watch was always tilted very slightly. I was worried but she literally told me that I should keep it because it all lined up. This is my first time buying a rep so I felt quite alone in the process and wasn’t sure if I should be picking it a part. Any advice for me would be appreciated, thanks.
Whatever I guess I learned an important lesson that reps are reps at the end of the day. As disappointed as I am I’ll get over it.
Easy fix. If it’s the bezel insert, pop it off, and press it back in place correctly. There are plenty of guides here with pics

It looks to me that your bezel is aligned perfectly. I think the issue is the dial/movement being off a bit. This should be an easy fix, but if you aren’t “handy” or lack the tools it may best to have someone else fix it. This is what I would try:
1) You’ll need to unscrew the crown into 1st position - where you can wind the watch, but not change the time
2) Remove the case back
3) Loosen the two case screws (they are what secure the movement to the case)
4) Adjust the movement clockwise (counterclockwise if you’re looking at the back) ...... in case you’re new to this stuff: the dial is secured to the movement, so turning the entire movement will turn the dial
5) Tighten the case screws
6) Replace the case back.
7) Screw the crown back into place.
Please note: This is only my opinion, and my opinion might be incorrect.
