That is unlucky. But it may not be that much of a huge aesthetic difference, so I say enjoy it and wear it proudly.
In any case with time, perhaps in year or less, v3 will come out, which will significantly improve upon the bezel. At that point, you might want to consider upgrading. Skip v2 and go straight for v3.

It does look nice on bracelet. Gives off a vintage look to it. You’ll be pleased as I’m sure you already are.
mkf - better dial, bezel (number 8, etc) maybe still more quality bracelet, but clasp fell cheap - micro adjustment have much play.

So she has arrived... This appears to be the V1.
I believe the V2 just has an updated dail from Intime Description of the V2.
Either way I am happy

I agree.
On the bracelet this watch all of the sudden looks a bit bland, whereas on the right nato it realy pops.
What size nato is this mate?
Didnt know that, thanks bro. So its the version that has been released recently right? Oh I made a thread about OMF De Ville chrono, if you know smt about it you could share. Thanks again

I went for 22mm, as it was not available in 21mm.
It fits really well actually.
Not too long ago, I read that the Rolex process for the Pepsi ceramic bezel is protected by two patents and (according to R Factory) suuuperduuuper tricky yet the reps have it...?

It gets this aged, frayed look after wearing it for a little while. Too much fray on the sides I sometimes burn off with a lighter.
Great strap for this watch colour wise.

Awesome, thanks for the link fuzzmex
. I don't own a strap like this yet, and should really give the gen NATO a break, so I'll pull the trigger on this. Thanks again for the recommendation.

I have to admit I was wrong in doubting the existence of a Spectre v2 with updated dial.
The reason for my doubts were the lack of visual evidence in the photos.
So I am very curious now as to how much of a difference there is between v1 and v2.
This is a picture of my v1 in the kind of sunlight angle that gives the clearest indication of the dial's graininess and matteness.
If anyone owning a v2 could do a similar picture for comparison that would be great.
(Apologies for my dirty bezel and crystal
)

The dial doesn't actually look too bad on that V1; I thought they were a lot more matte than that.
