Thanks egroegart for the picture heavy post and your initial review. i just ordered a black v2 from Ken on Friday.

I am also looking forward to the polar white v3...whenever that is.

Congrats Ilovewatches. It's a great watch for sure. Can you post a few pics when you get it? I have seen a few lately that people have gotten where the lume seems to match the hour markers better, but it could have just been the lighting, but I'm just curious to see if it is something that they have been working on or if it was just the lighting in the pics, which is what I expect, but you never know.

Hi egroegart I have a question. when you got your qc pictures was there a blue tint noticeable under the cyclops? I'm not sure if it the lighting or if the ar was applied incorrectly.

and you are right, it is a really nice watch. love at first sight hahahaaa. I ordered the polar v1 awhile back but for some reason I was unlucky and got it with some issues. ordered the black v2 which looks great but I think it has an ar issue and it looks like the cyclops is off?? is this "normal". I am thinking of asking for a different one... what are your thoughts?

It is hard to get good pics to see if the cyclops is straight or not, but it sure does look like it is crooked in those pics. It's hard to say about the AR but if it were me I probably would tell the td that the cyclops looks crooked, and maybe get you another watch.
