Intime has also described their 15202IP as a 'V2'. I've ordered one but asked for clarification if there will be a new version with polished bezel being released shortly (as rumoured).

Bracelet is off for spa treatment now. Here is a indoor pic under 5000K led light. There is a subtle sunburst.

That looks much better, what were the lighting conditions that pictures was taken under? Congratulations.

I'm so confused about whether to get one or not. I don't need it to be perfect color-wise, just 'close enough', which is incredibly subjective. Those that have bought them, would you describe yourself as happy with it or disappointed at how it looked in the metal?

Regarding color - It is pretty decent with no light directly on dial. As more light hits, it gets brighter (more yellowish).
Regarding overall impressions (keep in mind I got the blue as well) - underwhelmed. Color is not the best match for SS. Also XF has too many issues - free spinning rotor, bracelet link pins hard to get out (sizing bracelet), mis-matched lume, hands pinion could be improved. For now I would avoid any XF release and hope for ZF to release a superior build quality.

Oh Boy. I don’t know but I am not convinced. I appreciate the work that has gotten into that. For such a high price rep they have to try a little harder. I do look forward to ZF.
This is super-useful, thank you. I have the blue and have just ordered the IP (despite the flaws, although Intime just advised me that the V2 with polished bezel is coming very soon). I'm quite impatient by nature, so waiting for the ZF is difficult

Gap is not noticeable on wrist at all. Even gen has this gap albeit a bit smaller. Frankly, after wearing the watch a few times, it’s not an issue at all, stopped worrying about it

There are much bigger issues at hand with this watch (dial color, rotor noise etc), so this gap concern has become a non-issue for me
