Btw does anyone know if the new blue V2 has update version of bracelet clasp (screws on the pushing piece instead of four on the clasp). Anyone who has the V2 mind posting pictures? Thanks

Why should they do that?

Thanks mate, just to clarify I have to ask for V2 when ordering? What is the change with regards to the AP logo being referred to?

No need to specify... The factory should have only the ultimate version in stock.
Just check your QC pics to be sure you receive the "V2" ;)

Nice one, sorry for question - looking at first purchase so all a bit new to me...

Tinitonsi, are you able to spot if the watch above is V2? I can ask for more photos if needed.

It's like buying a used car...might last forever or might need repairs after day 3.

Ryan sells the same factory reps as any other trusted dealer. Research the factory rep (eg. JF, KW, Noob etc) and buy from any trusted dealer.

If you have problems after 1 month (or whatever), just get the watch serviced by a forum watchmaker and you'll be good to go.

Ryan is a TD not a factory. This rep comes from the JF factory. Ryan or any other TD doesn't have control over the manufacturing or quality of the actual movement. What you get from TDs is before and after Sales service and Ryan is one of the best at that.
With that said. The Miyota movement which comes in these warches are very reliable movement and can be easily serviced if needed.
Good luck with your next purchase [emoji3]

Thanks both, great guidance.

For the watch in question then, do the factories vary quite considerably in quality then..? Not being lazy but if some quick advice can be provided it saves me fishing through threads :)

JF seems to be rated higher, although as post suggests, pros and cons to both - personal preference I suppose... Just don't want to spend a few hundred quid and be disappointed... Also assuming that these can be shipped to UK??
