Excuse my ignorance but what is the most desirable version of this model?

V2 is more desirable. But to the factory, there was never a v2, they just did some silent updates to it.

Given the bracelet...Is the general consensus accept or refuse?

I understand that we all want the newest and shiniest, but if you can't spot the differences from magnified photos, and you feel that the watch looks abso-bloody-lutely beautiful (which it does), then just accept it, and wear it in good fun and health.

If you can't spot the differences between the different versions, then most likely no one around you can spot any tells on your wrist.

So, along with general consensus, I'll go with accept. Enjoy it!

I agree with you but it does matter when you go to flip the watch in three months if people do not find a certain bracelet desirable

I think bracelet is not a deal killer. You can always contact your TD and order one + perhaps contact Vic to make leather strap.

Those JF 15400 are pretty awesome and besides minute markers and maybe slightly tweaking thickness there is not much that need to be refined.
I'm very courious about that 3.3mm movement they made especially for Patek Nautilus to make it gen thin. It's quite possible it will eventually end up in Royal Oaks.

If you have one of these on a bracelet and you want to convert to a leather strap, outside of getting Vic to make a strap, what else would you need to do? Where would you get the correct plots to convert ? I'm thinking about a Rose Gold JF V2 and it would be nice to have the flexibility of converting to a leather strap and back.
