Any members out there who have the rose gold (steel bracelet) version? The rhodium dial version is on it's way to me. But I also like the RG version, but there is not much info available..

I haven’t had an issue with the movement. This movement is actually one of the more accurate and has a higher power reserve from my other reps.

Any rotation noise from the movement? Sounds like something is loose inside..

Been waiting for a really good Rhodium YM40 rep and will go ahead and pull the trigger on this.
However, it seems like the Date Wheel alignment is messed up on all these QC photos im seeing.
Is this the way it is?

Also does anyone know if the recently released clean factory oyster flex fits this ym40? Does it need special end links?

I think they rhodium is just generally more popular, even in gen. Figure out if the blue is good enough for you yourself...see below...

Yes! The issue is that you as a 10 year long member should know the rules better... 😂

You can post QC photos only if accompanied by a very specific question (example: "The 3 hour marker seems slightly crooked... Would this warrant RL'ing in your opinion?"), but you can't post the entire batch just for general inspection without a specific question, in other words: to have the forum do the QC for you.
Any issues with these QC's?

The blue variant has a bit more inaccurate sunburst compared to gen haha. Gen one appears more faint while the rep sunburst is a bit harsh. Rhodium seems a tad more accurate, at least to me.
