Hi guys, just wanted a list of differences between the v1 and v2. I am aware the v1 is the much better rep but I am still interested in purchasing a v2 from a TD. So far, it seems the v2 has incorrect sapphire, bezel lettering, and color of the font on the bezel. What else is different from the v1 and v2?

I would disagree that V1 is a much better rep. Differences are minimal and would only be noticed in a direct 3 way comparison with the gen. V1 had a bezel font that was ever so slightly too thin and ever so slightly too green. V2 had a bezel font ever so slightly too fat and ever so slightly too light.
I've seen photos of V2 with slightly different shaped sapphire and V2 with sapphire that looks identical, so some batch variation. Again in either guise, assuming you get one with non crooked numbers, it's a ridiculously good rep.
the only other consideration is whether to wait for https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/330554-New-Fifty-Fathoms:

I have the V1. And the gen.
