I wear watches that match my attire I don’t worry too much about the minutia because no reasonable person in the real world will notice or care. I do admire the extreme attention to detail many of us have here. I’m the same way,especially when it comes to cars! This is a similar hobby regarding chasing perfection Just don’t stop having fun while doing so

well when i had both i preffered the V3’s cherry red over the V3S’s tomato-ish red. but the V3 colors can look pretty dark sometimes so i decided to give the V3S another shot. .....
but yes, main difference between the two is that V3 has a darker red than V3S, and maybe a slightly darker blue as well.
to my eyes, judging by the pictures above with v3 and v3s side to side...the V3 is more dark ok, but as well more tomato-ish...

after looking at multiple QC pics and comparison pics online i can say with confidence that V2S and V3S is the same bezel insert. V2 was discontinued to make way for V3, but V2S was renamed to V3S to leave an option for people who wanted the entire insert to glow red under UV.

V2S doesn't glow entirely under UV. The color under normal is also different. V2S isn't V3S.

incorrect, it does indeed glow completely under UV as seen in this pic here. when this thread was first created, before V3/V3S came out, it was known by everyone here that V2S was the full glow insert. if you’re referring to the other pics on page one that show it partially glowing, that’s because on those pics the UV light isn’t centered on the V2S. in this pic where it is almost centered, it’s pretty much fully glowing. the brightness of the glow depends on the strength of the UV light as well. i’ll need to see side by side pics to convince me that colors are not the same under normal. from what i’ve analyzed, they are the same.

Stop spreading misinformation. Look at the cut off and this has been discussed many times already. My V2S also has the cut off at 6 and 18. nuff said.
