[lovegensandreps]

V3 stock, I just love this watch

 

[jtks]

was V2s renamed as V3 or V3s? or is V2s a different bezel?

When it comes to bezel version number, bear in mind, these versions are from the discussions here.
In China, the local dealers there have different bezel version numbering.

Based on what has been discussed in this thread :
V1 = Very distinct color, red appear brownish under certain lighting condition
V2/V2S = Appear washed/pastel-like color under normal light
V3 = Darker color compared to V2 under normal light. Only blue color part glows red under UV (UV glow cut off at 6 & 18)
V3S = Slightly brighter compared to V3 but still more vivid than pastel-like V2 under normal light. Whole bezel glows red under UV

AFAIK, local dealers in China call RWI V2,V2S,V3 as V2 and RWI V3S as V3. The main differentiator for them is how the UV glows.

didn’t the whole bezel of V2s also glow red under UV light?

Look at the pics on the first page posted by ctime. There's a clear blue/red cut off on v2s under UV.

the cut off is in different places in each pic, including the gen. i think that has more to do with the position of the UV torch.

Can not see the différence with v2

It differs just for the UV light?

Hi as I posted this is V3s, and V3s always refer to bezel insert, according to TD besides bezel variance all other part of the watch is the same among all versions

Actually you cant see the color difference if not putting all the V2 V2s V3 V3s together...

 

[Endez]

Thanks for the replies!

I only can spot V3, as blue is really darker. I have a v2, and received as well a v3 insert. Not sure if I will do the swap, V3 is maybe too dark for my taste

Bezel insert is impossible to tell sometimes due to lighting. The only one I can tell 100% of the time is the v1 bezel aka ketchup bezel lol
