Look down a few threads. There's a whole discussion about xing bezels.

Xing is just the guy who claim he developed the pepsi bezel and sold it on Reddit and rwi to international buyers .

But in china these are known as MK bezel
I just bought Xing bezel for my GMT, so what is your thought about Xing bezel?

I switched back to Clean bezel. I like xing’s color but it’s too thick to sit recessed into the bezel ring without grinding a lot of the underside away. Clean is just as accurate color wise and would be considered a MK2 pepsi. IMO anyway.

I ordered on 06/30 and he quoted “i hsve thinner version now”
So I guess it’s V5 or V4.2

Colour is closer to gen ,but finishing / paint colour , not as good as clean .

Your copy looks slightly better , but the 18 still has mismatch contrast , post a side by side when you have it

I was going to order this watch from Ryan at InTime. Do they also sell the updated version? I mean, Clean Factory ships this version to all TDs from now on, right?

Would you trust that the v2 is waterproof? In the sense of swimming in the pool with it.

Personally I can't fathom anyone that would swim with something other than a gshock to begin with. Waterproof or not you're introducing a metal object (and for me the bracelet specifically) to a salt environment which would just make me cringe.

Would I trust it to be waterproof? no. Would I trust any rep to be waterproof? no. Would I trust a gen watch that is more than a few years old to be waterproof? no.
