So I got my 024A in the mail today from Kuvarsit. Yes, they have the XF V2 in stock (the proof is on my wrist). Looks like the blue AR is really not a "thing" in person. My only gripes are the cyclops blows, and is basically magnifying at like .2% versus my other Panerai reps. As well the crown lever feels like a cheap chicken bone that struggled to push the crown back in once I changed the date.
Overall, not too bad - especially if this is something you've wanted - I'd recommend grabbing it sooner than later as I imagine production has ceased and these will become impossible to get.
