Excuse me for getting philosophical, but why bother at all, if you can't see a difference? [emoji848]

Tigerdragon had told me he thought it was v1 based on my qc pics on a thread on the exile forum. In hand, I couldn't see a difference between mine and others that had been labelled v2 (turns out there isn't a difference!). From what I can tell, the v1 has more rounded edges and more rounded tops to the tappiseries.

To your philosophical question, even if I couldn't see the difference, i'd want to know I was getting the best version for FOMO, wanting higher re-sell value and knowing the flaws to look for in my watch as I become more familiar with the model and the intricacies of the rep. To the last point, when I bought my v5 noob sub, I had no idea SEL were an issue. Now I scrutinise the still imperfect SEL on my BK v7 with v6s bracelet and it will make me appreciate the 'perfection' when I go gen eventually.

When is the V3 due to release or is it still an unknown ?
Excuse my laziness I can't do 80 pg's in the thread to find out, I'm getting old and need to conserve my eyes.

On the exile forum. You said it was the first time you'd seen the fat logo on the v1 style tapiserie pattern. The qc pics weren't great resolution

Just get the watch first and enjoy it. When JF releases V3, ask TD to sell you V3 dial and you're set! The dial will probably cost around $35 more or less.

By the way can anyone show me a fat logo Gen 15400? I still dont believe this exist.

There was a few pages of discussion about that around a year ago and a half. Just do the research.
It does exist.

I'm not sure if updating 15400 white dial is even necessarily. White dial is so freaking close to gen it's hard to tell them apart.
Minute markers on white are also quite good.
