beautiful. I meant the effect under sunlight to check if the v3s also had the purple effect of the blue. to clarify, like the photo in my post here. (post 2107) :)

So it seems that the dial has changed or something. Thanks to these two members for bringing it to attention.

I bought up QC of various GMT models, mostly Clean and ARF, and compared alot of different variants, Sprite, Bruce Wayne, etc, and it seems universally they have the thinner print. Which leads me to believe a few things :

1) Clean and ARF and all share the same supplier for dials
2) The print variant changed sometime after the v2 batch, and now all v3 dials have this



But this is also why I advocate for members to buy if they like immediately - future batches and variants may not be the same as the first batches.

@moa sorry forget to tag you
Please take a look above pict
Thank you
@WenR very good!!
photo n.3 expresses the exact prominence true purple of the blue. if you made one with the wrist angle to the left, maybe it would come out identical to mine. if you can't there's no problem. so, since you seem very expert, in your opinion my clean (if you look at my different photos posted in this 3d) has the bezel v3 or v3s? I bought it in march 2024.

The only real and sure way to know is, take a UV light and if it’s all bright red then it’s v3s

Im not an expert.
All i know is V3 n V3S will shown different result under direct sunlight because its not made with the same process, take a look at below picture.

V3 vs V3S (all red under UV light)

Thats what makes V3S the best genlike under all light situation IMO.
Agree with @WatchNoobie opinion, you will know its V3 or V3S under UV light.

And 1 more thing that i see,
V2 or V3 bezel color will gone a bit pale under sunlight, but V3S still shown a great contrast color, IMO.

Well thats what i saw when i hold v2,v2s,v3,v3s in my hand under sunlight. Other member maybe have other opinion.

oh good! i have a tanning lamp at home, i tried to put the watch under the light but nothing changes, neither the blue nor the red. The colors remain the same, like under a led bulb. maybe the glass filter stops the UVA ray? what can i do?
this is the lamp.:)
