Who the f**k in the world is going to tell white gold apart from SS from the naked eye for screws that are 3mm in diameter. LOL - you guys know what white gold is made of right? Its a alloy mix of yellow gold and usually covered with Rhodium to make it shinier. If you can tell the difference between White gold and Polished SS with your naked eye you are superman especially for things which are like 3mm.

Even platinum you cant tell with your naked eye unless you are a seasoned jeweler. Everyone thinks platinum is bling bling but actually PT950 is quite dull after it being worn. I'm wearing a solid PT950 bracelet right now and let me tell you its not as shiny as polished SS.

I can tell the difference, but only if there are comparisons. As in, white gold screws on an ss bezel, I can tell. But I'm around metal 24/7 so I'm special;)

I have a platinum chain necklace. It's is somewhat dull. It is amazingly heavy, way heavier than gold. It's funny how you say it looks cheaper. I agree that it somehow does as well. It's almost like silver that has some slight tarnish. The hue is a little different though.

Cheers :)

Hey guys, I just received some QC pics for a JF V2 white dial 15400. I am hoping to upload them here for opinions from the forum regarding a few specific questions. I've read a few times here that QC photos are frowned upon. Can I upload them or would you guys rather me not? Thanks

QC pics are fine as long as its regarding a specific question, as in getting a second opinion if something you think might be off actually is. I.e. You can't just say "whats wrong with this one"

Is the date wheel not centred? The 8 seems much closer to the left side of the date window. I think this may be an angle problem as the watch is likely resting on its clasp so the face of the dial may be tilted slightly. Also (obvious newb here), just want to confirm this is a JF V2, right? Thanks in advance guys!

Not sure, but looks to be the V2.
Go to page 31 of this thread, as it shows some side-to-side comparisons. Check it out, and see what you think.

I was joking with Tigerdragon as I thought he was likely trolling. Have not rejected this one yet. I just received some close ups.
What do you guys think about the bezel screws by 11'clock and 1'clock? Is it just the angle? Or are JF V2s generally around that tolerance? Thanks!

i was not "trolling" check @Rush pictures, you Logo is clearly "thinner" and not so big? I had the same problem with the blue dial. Mine was V1 too after i rejected i got a V2. So i dont know. Maybe its only the picture or they changed the layout again by the white version. Because my blue V2 version had a "fatter" logo.

V1 (My first one):
