Ok, so it looks like all the other problems with this watch still exist on the v5. Open CP still there. There are talks of a more accurate lume but no confirmation. Ryan at intime did say to me that the lume in the new batch has been updated to be more gen-like - acqua color rather than green.

Just rejected My qc because of the lume. Hands was aqua but hour marks green.

I got one from Puretime and it's a good solid watch with matching lume. I would definitely recommend

Chazingtime... Got a refund instead of a new watch. Got told that all BB are like that.
You guys are way to picky. You seem to expect the gen while paying less than $300. Just have it relumed for another $100 and there you have it.
The thing is having consistent lume isn't a difficult or expensive thing to achieve for the makers. Not to mention that it's also a dead giveaway as well.
I Guess it cant be to hard to apply the correct lume color... But I'll live with the wrong color until I need a service and fix it the [emoji1]

Yeah but who other than us knows what the correct lume color is? You need to be in a dark room with a guy wearing the gen.
If you ask me don't go in a dark room with men in general.
And even if they get the color right, rep lume sucks so that would be a tell as well and since it sucks you would have to get it relumed either way.
*in dark room with hushhush* " oh hey, is that your blackbay I'm touching? "

V5 here
Lume is amazing, cp looks perfect...
Only thing is the rose, but it's not that bad.
It has a great gen feeling, I'm very happy with it
Oh, and the fabric strap is garbage for me... it doesn't fit a child's wrist...

I'm pretty sure there is no difference between v4 and V5 but I guess I will be able to tell that for sure in a few weeks. I have a v4 and recently ordered a V5 so I can make a comparison for everyone but based on the pics of v5, I see no difference what so ever

Looking forward to it. My guess is that the v5 comes with the nato instead of the leather strap.

Just saw Phil's video review of V2, he mentioned that biggest tell was crystal edges being not polished as good as gen.
I know V2 was long time ago, can anyone confirm has it been fixed in any of next versions? or is still pain for V5?

I owned the gen before and have ordered the rep. I will look at it when I get it
