(QC picture from King)

I should be receiving it in a couple of days (+ orange rubber). :)

I got QC pics of mine too, but I rejected them because the minutes hand should be orange, not red...yours is like this too, I hope you can still reject and ask for a different piece!

here's mine.... just got the strap cut!...quick question, how do you differentiate the ultimate vs the non ultimate? my orange button on the side presses down, but the crown moves regardeless if the button is pressed down or not....

This is the V1.
-should have a solid caseback Vs the two piece of the V2
-chances are that you have the updated crystal on this, but I'd be a little concerned that it's the sandwiched version
-although not having the version that requires the button to be pushed is inaccurate, if you use the bezel as I do, it's a real pain in the butt to try to push it and turn the bezel. :)
-although the lume isn't awesome, it's right on the money to have it applied to the back of the bezel insert than the V2 which has it applied to the inside of the bezel as the V2 does.

Eh, I sure hope that it's just the lighting. The watch was already posted, before I could confirm the QC pictures. So, I hope that you're wrong. :/

aaaaaah I see. I thought it was supposed to match the bezel knob and the printing on the dial. Better email my dealer and correct it....Thanks for correcting me TB...blix, sorry to worry you!

EDIT: Here's my QC pics...feedback please guys!

looks great robb is that a v1 OR v2? Also im not sure casue i'm new to this stuff but why is the case back not centered? On my V2 mine is dead center the seahorse is perfectly upright.

here's mine.... just got the strap cut!

Mine is a v2 and will not turn unless I press the button.

Not sure, honestly I'm new to Ploprofs (and Omegas in general). This is an A21J version, so I don't think it's a V-anything ;) I was more concerned with the color of the minutes hand being right, which I mistakenly thought was supposed to be orange...

If you opted for the 21j version you will most likely get a v1 or a v1.5 (v1 case, with a v2 dial... but not a functioning bezel lock button)...

And you are still mistaken... the min hand is a metallic burnt orange color... not red, it matches the color of the bezel lock button :) None of the plops (v1, v1.5 or v2 have a red min hand, all of them have the correct orange color).

thanks for the knowledge. The hand looked red to me...but then again I'm colorblind ;)

So my pics were OK? Because I've told the dealer to ship the original watch if he still has it...and I'm assuming V1 case means a V1 bezel, which means better lume, correct?

your QC pics look good and it looks like a v1 or a v1.5. and yes that means the better bezel lume applied to the back of the bezel insert as opposed to below the bezel insert on the bezel ring itself.

All will be good, no matter which version you opted for you will luv it.

my screw down clasp, is a tiny bit loose... ie, if I 'tap' it, it makes a sound like it is a separate part of the watch... also my button, although it presses down nicely, it does not stop or release the bezel....

is the V2 supposed to be like this? is this something which can be easily fixed?

BM,
Sounds like you either got a v1 or a v1.5...because the button on the v2 is functional i.e. it locks the bezel from rotating when it's not pushed down.

As to the loose screw down crown, that might be able to be fixed.

Mine is inbound! Can't wait...it'll probably be the only thing that can force the Breit Seawolf off my wrist for a few minutes.
