Maybe we can expect the second reset in V3

Or maybe there won't be a V3. The improvements in the movement were not expected so we cannot hope to expect any further improvements in the near future. People would just be waiting and waiting for the next version and never buy a watch.

Yah I seriously doubt they will do a seconds reset function.

I believe that would be a good bit of additional work to the movement too.

I am new to the Rep world and wanted to get a Panerai and really like the look of this watch. I was considering the 411 as it's so cheap at Toros at the moment but prefer this. Anyways my question is, is the v1 still worth buying? I can't seem to decide if the extra $40-50 is worth the improvements on the v2.

I am leaning towards the v2 as obviously a few people have changed their orders from v1 to v2 so I'm guessing many people think it is!

I think you just answered your question. ;)

Anyone got their hands on one of this yet? It would be greta for feedback from our members on how v2 handles.

Awesome watch indeed.

Waiting on mine from Lucy.

She noticed the date was getting stuck, so I'm still in the QC process.

What a beauty. I've actually got a gen CG for this. Now that the 12 hour is fixed. Maybe I'll get to use it!

To answer your question. There are files for ceramic, made of extremely tough materials, but I don't know how that would behave against the teeth of the crown. I bet it would just chip.

Sorry mate, i meant to say crownguard. I guess high grit sandpaper will do the CG no good then. :0

Does anyone know do they actually make those harder than steel ceramah cases?

Sent from the RWI App

They mix zirconium oxide with a binder which is then hardened and compressed by applying heat and pressure (like how coal is made into a diamond). The resulting material is then shaped through machining.

I have one coming with my 441. Lucy said it would ship. They are the exact same case and size.

Not much different between the two watches besides the blacked out movement.
