For the guys who got this new GMF Explorer II, can you confirm if the hour markers' color is correct as per gen or still greyish?

I got no luck with my first one... Bad Lume on the marker at 12 and also magnifying glass looks very weird and somehow crooked.. So i passed this one; waiting for new one by Sead

Hasn't your TD told you which factory made it (if you didn't order a specific factory model)?

Is that the new Reddit QC tool 2.0? 😂 You do realise that you will never get a picture of the watch sitting at a perfect straight angle, those lines are useless…..

It's a GMF. Not JVS.

Look at the winding crown. It's a fat crown, only the new GMF have those. The date window position is correct too.

The JVS have the correct winding crown thickness. It's a good way to differentiate them if you can't recognize the date window position correctly.

Don't worry, you got a GMF. And it looks great tbh. Small things like the lume is not noticeable on your wrist.

I’m not so sure. I think
It’s a JVS from the date window placement on the dial. Here’s my GMF (QC pic):

I’m not so sure. Here’s my GMF (QC pic) for comparison.
