Frankly, the v1 NATO is cheap in looks and feel to extent it disturb the looks of the watch IMO. Even a cheap aftermarket NATO strap looks far better...

I would say yours is a v1.5: that is, you bought the watch when it has a transition update, which has the new nato strap with logo (v2 strap) but watch itself is still a v1 (no updates to the bezel)

Why is the inner bezel on this model looking so much better than on the "Spectre" versions ?

Agreed. The V1 strap is a total turnoff for me and kills the watch. The V2 is a big improvement with the more accurate strap holders. Still would be better if they got the fabric style right, but I think it looks pretty decent as is now.
Yeah exactly, had to buy the v2 NATO strap alone. Waiting for it, hope it looks better. I am tempted to buy the Gen one...

As much I was happy receiving my v1, my eyes just caught the 9 hour marking faded on the bezel already!!
I've just get it out of the plastic wrap and wore it when I discovered this, and was 100% sure it wasn't showing this on the QC pics...

So... I wonder if we can get replacement inserts? if the dealer would make a replacement available I would be a happy guy, that could/would update the bezel with the corrected numeral and if/when wear becomes an issue...just pop in a fresh insert! ~$20-30 vs $280? yeah I could live with that.
Maybe it's time for some consumer leverage. I will email a query, how about you? there's power in numbers.

Sent to the TD already asking for it. Will update when I get a reply.
Tell me what you will get as well...

Is it easy to pop out the insert and replace it? If the v2 has thinner insert and thicker ring will it even fit?

I can't tell you how many times I've said "NO MORE REPS, I HATE THEM!" Then you have a $7k watch that looks perfect in qc pics for less than $300 and you think "OHHH OK" then you get a piece of trash with pubes and boogers, a warped bezel, fading numerals, shoddy construction and whatever else. So I'll say it again (after this v2 of course) NO MORE REPS, I HATE THEM!
It might take some minor modification (ie sanding), but remember the difference as determined by consensus is the change is minimal, if at all.
Otherwise the replacement is an easy task, some require adhesive, some do not, no special tools required... the learning curve is definitely beginner level trial/error.
My next rep I'm looking to get is the noob CRPO. Read nothing but good things about it. Hopefully no pubes and boogers!

Whoo hoo, my Spectre V2 is now in flight minus SS bracelet which will follow. Can anyone confirm the spring pin size? Looking to get a pair of the curved ones in prior to arrival.
Thanks

First time poster and a rather embarrassed on at that. I'm a noob to this game and rather foolishly and blindly took a punt with Perfect Clones (Joshua)
I've had my QC pics, it's even been despatched, but after reading the negative comments on here you have me worried.
Would anyone be interested in seeing the QC pics?
Is the strap the main issue here with folks cause I'll be honest. I don't know what I'm looking for. We all have to start somewhere I guess.

May I ask why you would like that number. Don't mind giving it but don't want to create hassle for this Joshua if he's a good guy?
As i suspect its the same number that i got on my watch from Joshua and its the same number thats on the QC sample pics on his site
