Is it a V3? Bracelet ok, but watch?
Thanks
I also think its a V2 with V3 bracelet. Actually I have the feeling dealers currently trying to empty V2 stock by telling its V3 and mixing watch and bracelet. Happened to me as well. But I was OK with V2
Yup, looks that way. I wouldn’t worry too much though, the actual real world difference is very small between V2 & V3.
Edit: typo.

Yeah, the V2 lettering is a bit too thin. The V3 too thick . So the V4 would be something in between. So the actual watch head V2 and V3 are almost even.
I bought .90mm and 1mm o rings from here...

the one that came in mine was garbage and my caseback is very loose.
yeah I have the V3 and I can easily remove the caseback with my fingers. I am pretty sure they are all that way. I hope they fix that with the V4 and give us a titanium band. We have been talking about a titanium band for months...it has to happen. The demand is very real.
Newbie here and just received mine. I have not seen the gen but I am BLOWN away by how good this rep looks. Bought from Trusty as a V2 / V3 not sure but it has the updated bracelet. TBH, I can’t tell the difference between a V2 and V3. I personally think the bracelet is also fantastic. The latch that flips down into the hole on the bracelet can pop open when the deployment is open so be careful. Once it is on the wrist, it is very secure though.
Mine arrived with a VERY loose caseback but I’ve ordered a new o-ring gaskets so hopefully this will fix the issue. This seems to be an issue on many of them. My bezel is very tight though with no play at all. Also, the movement is running very fast at 25spd. I thought it might have been magnetized but it may need a regulation. Hopefully it’s a simple fix for these issues. My only other complaint is that the lume is very, very weak. Other than that I think this is an amazing rep and I’m very happy with it.

Did you solve the problem with the 0.90mm or 1mm gasket?
what diameter did you order?

Weird, mine has a decent gasket in it and I had to really push and turn with a rubber ball to open it... couldn't budget it with just fingers
New gasket should sort you,
hoping this upload will work...
Nice, the V3, closest to Gen imho
37mm based on what another kind member used. .90mm or 1mm width. I also ordered some silicone grease so it seals it up good.
I will hopefully receive them this week.

TBH I don't get why they can't get the bezel marking to look right in the first place, something that simple. But since owning the V2, it has never bothered me tbh.
Here's the V2 with the gen. Credits to Mr Burgundy for this...
