I'm assuming it won't be a super rep cos of the faux power reserve? Or is that not a characteristic that contributes to the super rep status?

I think this would qualify for super rep. The main reason it wasn't before was due to the 24hr gmt. Now even the crown adjust is accurate per gen.

Thanks! So, no bi-directional winding? Not complaining, just an observation. I'm wondering if the date goes backwards as well then moving the hour hand anti clockwise - as per gen. If not, setting the date will require quite some work if it's far off.
Date adjustment appears per gen
Backwards winding also moves date backwards from the vid. The bi-directional i doubt it is though, but it's automatic so should be a minor issue i hope. :) now if there is an m2m available I'll be inline

Man that guy was really obsessed with wiping the watch crystal. Just isn't clean enough!

I already contacted Lucy about one of these!

Haha, he's like that in all his QC vids. I always cringe when I see how rough he is with winding and time setting.

But I must say, exciting features in the V2. One difference I noticed is that when the movement is hacked the second hand doesn't reset to 12 like the gen, but that's pretty insignificant.

Yah we are getting into the nitty-gritty there. The fact that the factories have made a pretty accurate movement to gen, is a major achievement!

Who is this fella? Someone with VSF?

For me, the best part is the 12 hour GMT function. Working PR, seconds reset and bi-directional winding may show up in V3 :)

I wouldn't hold my breath for those changes. But we can all hope.

This V2 is going to be a big seller.

So the V2 is on InTime (and Trusty)...I just placed my 441 order with Saed 2 days ago...requesting the V2 with him. Looking forward to comparing to my VSF 386.
