Hey guys, I got an XF 15202 here several years ago from InTime - I've read this form and seen a couple mentions of a v1/2. If so, is anyone able to advise if this is V1 or V2? I expct it's a V1 based on the colour, but would like a second opinion lol

Cheers

Afaik the lume color of the markers and the hands was different in v1 which was fixed in v2.

Correct, I have a V1, but there were also V1's that had bezel screws that were too close to the edges... fixed in a silent update that was still called v1 as it had the mismatch lume. Bracelet is best on the V1 too.

I have one, and honestly should be getting it relumed but have no idea who does it in the states

Looking carefully to the bezel and dial is easy to see that it is a V2, I have it too, is a very nice 15202 rep.

Thank you mate, apreciate it! I've been knee deep in rolex reps for the longest time and (i like to think) I know what I'm looking at, but AP reps are very new to me in that regard. Definitely just luck that I'm on the v2 then - I'm very happy with it out of the box. Without them being side by side with gen I think I'd really struggle to tell them apart, every day's a school day!

I love this watch, consider a lucky happening to you to have this watch
I own the V1 and the V2 of course both has flaws, but different flaws, on my personal opinion is the better rep ever done (not checking the movement from caseback window).
Joust to give you a brief summary:
Case is better the V2 specially if coupled with the V1 bracelet
Bezel is better the V2 (but V1 screws)
Dial better V1 and V2 hands.

This is my "very" personal opinion, I did the mashup as indicated and I'm happy to use it, I know in the forum there are many friends who are not agree with me in some details but this is my thinking! ;)
