Looks very good - wear it in good health: you only need to upgrade to the OEM dial :)

Can you please take a side photo of the clasp? The old style clasp cutouts are very rough where the new one (if updated with a similar machining to the ladies 33mm quartz) should be very clean and precise, to the point where you cannot make out the cutouts when the clasp is closed...

All in all, my V2 has none of the new upgrades you've listed :(

Plus the link screws are different (so I can't figure out how to adjust the bracelet. [emoji848])

They still didn't do anything about markers looking at pics of MBvHoven black dial.

I think white and blue dials have sharpest squares, and also white have best minute markers.

The Minute markers are more shitty than before :(

Totally, I'm surprised that they are getting worst and worst.
My blue 15400 "v2" has excellent markers comparing to latests JF black dial 15400.

When they update minute markers I'm buying both white dial and black dial.

Minute markers are not improved, but I doubt they have gotten worse. The appearance depends a lot on the angle of the shot, due to the 3D structure of the tapissery. Here's another shot:

Still not the greatest minutemarkers. But I've seen far worse...

Is it just me guys or have they thinned the DW font on the white dial item?

Could someone please give me some advise on how to remove some links on de bracelet. The screws are different from my older jf15400, and the pins connecting the links seem completely stuck...

They hammering the screws in so use a hammer and hammering them out. I had the same problem with my rolex today :D

What? They are using screws and pins now on JF 15400?
If they stuck use WD40 to loosen them up.
