What really ? I thought that they might me releasing a new version during the next 6 months to 1 Year ?
I really don’t see any reason for the factory to release a V3 of the Explorer. Guys, this is a super rep NWBIG for sure, but is not a Submariner. Factory invest on models people wants...
A V3 needs just a different text in the dial, but they cares?
Hope I’m wrong but this is what I think...

Exactly. This V2 is already a super rep, especially with the clone movement. If that imperceptible spacing in the letters bothers you that much you can source a genuine dial and then you have a 98% perfect Explorer.
Maybe a gen bracelet could be considered too, as the easylink on the JF bracelet is a bit loose. Or you can get the bracelet of the Noob version which has a tighter easylink. But again this is just if you are really picky (I am, and I find the easylink very convenient).
And if you want the cherry on top, get yourself a set of genuine reversing wheels for the movement, or even the autowinder module from a genuine movement and you have a truly outstanding watch.

It is considered one of the best around, call it whatever you want. Super replica, super clone, 1:1, etc. It does not require any mods and it's excellent right out of the box.
Okay ! Thanks a lot ! I agree with you, this watch is amazing. However, is there any comparison between this version and the noob version ?

There were a few, but the search button isn't working today (it's not sarcasm, really isn't working). But essentially the lume colour is more accurate on the JF. Not sure about the other differences, but tbh there weren't that many.

No it's not super rep 1:1 or whatever you want to call it. Again if you've got one next to a gen you can tell immediately. Even at wrist distance it's noticeable. If they do a v3 and correct the lettering and spacing then yes, a super rep. As it stands it's not, but it is very very good and will suffice for 90% of the market

I will say again what I said in other threads and post: Rolex itself distributed pics of this model with the E XPLORER on his brochure and internet pages.
So, even if they were first models produced, FOR ME this dial is not a fantasy dial, so REALLY not a problem.
And my compliments to your eyes because I can’t tell the difference between them at wrist distance. And I tried.

There is no way you can tell on the wrist lol. Unless you have eagle eyes and everything is moving in freaking hyper slow motion. So don't kid yourself, on a moving wrist you can barely tell a gen from canal street.
Also for all waiting for V3.. You guys realize that if they fix lettering in V3 they will very likely fvck something else up and y'all will hunt a V2 from M2M.

Yes I know, they are fixing the issue right now ! Thank you so much ! I will search for such threads !

However, the 2015 genuine explorer has the same font as the JF model. So I think that it is the correct font according to the 2015 model !
Yes I completely agree with you ! However, I just wanted to ask how do you know that they will be fu*king things up ? How about all the super reps which are available at the moment ? They are perfect !
There are no perfect reps. Super reps aren't perfect either. But from experience with reps I, and many other users will confirm, can say that once they fix one issue the factories magically mess up something else on the watch. You expect them to simply correct the lettering for example, which they might do in an upcoming version, but all of sudden now the hands are wrong. Don't ask why, nobody can tell you that. So now you wish to get the previous version back since you can live with a minor lettering issue rather than having the wrong hands etc.
So to sum it up, if you like the Explorer 1 then get the JF version now since the lettering "flaw" is really something only us anal freaks notice since somehow we don't just simply enjoy the watch for what it is but rather go "flaw hunting" since we know it is a counterfeit product. Noone in the real world is going to inspect your watch (very few people notice your watch and even less care), and even if they were to, almost noone besides us (and TDs) know what to look for anyway.
Go and buy the JF Explorer 1 is what I'm trying to say. Will do so in the near future as well.
