The thing with blue dial is it looks different in different light same as gen so I think it would be difficult to point rep dial unless you had gen and JFv2 side be size in the same light.

Somebody said the Blue Version V2 only comes with the fat logo thats actually not true. I checked my first QC pictures and then my second and the first one was clearly a smaller Logo with a small "stripe" between the A and P Logo. The second one was the "fat" logo. Look at my picture on Page 12 its cleary the "small" logo. This is strange because my new watch has the "fat" right logo.

Maybe an old V1?

Lovely watch. Im thinking of buying one too. can I ask where did you source your 2xAR and is it easy to install yourself? And the same for the rebrushing of the bezel/clean beacelet is that easy to do?
Thank you in advance!

Im very confused about v1 and v2, the color is quite similar. The logo of mine is v1 but not sure if it's v1 or not as I just got it from my local TD.

Where do you find the oem screws?

If it's inexpensive and easy it looks like a nice upgrade.

The polishing seems to work well as well. Is there instructions on polishing or does it have to be take in somewhere?

@tinitonsi can you comment on the difference between the gen and jf xtal?
Gen Xtal is more clear and it has less glare than the JF one.
[MENTION=13552]asanibal[/MENTION] it has a single AR
It's an easy install as it's only thicker by 0.1mm (1.3mm vs 1.2mm JF), same diameter. So it fits also the JF 42mm ROO without mods.
It's only hard to find, lol

[MENTION=81082]tinitonsi[/MENTION], congrats on the gen xtal mate. Looks sick! Could you take a picture showing glare/reflections on the gen xtal?

I am wondering whether the stock JF xtal or profS x2AR xtal is closer to gen?

If the gen looks somewhere in between, I might ask profS to get me a x1AR xtal. Thanks

It's difficult to catch reflection in this Xtal, bud
This is the best I can get with the watch under 2 powerful led lights

Just got QC for my order. As I wrote earlier the quality seems downgraded - 12 o'clock markers are not alligned (it is repairable) 3 o'clock marker is scewed, something wrong with the bezel screw at 5 o'clock (might be the quality of the photo) and what bothers me more is the alignment of the case with the caseback and bezel. Will not accept that.
