2r serials have been there for more than a year.
Unsure of what you meant by immediately befor q66. It sounded like an interim short lived batch so I have to just put out here so people who are unfamiliar won't get the wrong idea.
Apologies in advance, if I understood you wrongly.
I just meant it as 'immediately before' as in, the batch immediately prior to Q66. But i get what you mean, the 2R has been out a while by the looks of it.
Certainly looks like a thinner profile on the pearl, yeah.without the serial, is this updated?
Ultimate Edition (CF + VS crystal and movement, AR bracelet)
vs Gen
Aside from the 6 o’clock SEL recession, blown away. Insert and dial font is a tiny bit thin but i like the look of the insert and there have been many gen dial versions so hard to know how gen-like it really is.
In hand I honestly preferred it to gen. Gen felt clunkier. Was considering buying it but def NWBIG!

Yes, V1 stock2R serial numbers are old stock right?
Thanks for sharing, here are my notes from the video:
- New bezel pip with warmer tone
- Metal part of the bezel is brighter - not sure if referring to knurling, rehaut or insert numerals?
- Clasp engravings are deeper
- Glidelock is still bad
- VSF is now offering after sales service for a peace of mind (I’m curious if this refers to a warranty honoured through certain distribution pathways?)
Thanks for sharing, here are my notes from the video:
Interesting detail I picked up in the video, some of the subs shown have the old edge distortion cyclops despite the new clasp code. Given that VSF upgraded crystals months before the ‘V2 launch’ I didn’t expect this mismatch of parts. @2fast4lust would you be able to chime in on this sir?

My suggestion is to always wait for actual watch to be released and then you can have people who have actually owned the new version to chime in... What you see now.... take it with a pinch of salt, not because they are always fake - but because they at times, are not the final released products.
But what you said is true, these seem to have slight distortion to the cyclops edges. So lets wait and see...

Not noted -
The clasp when closed looks more gen. There should be an elevation above the crown where the buckle sits inside the cutout, which is present here but was flush on v1.
The center SEL looks more elevated than V1 which i don’t know is better or worse compared to gen, as 12xx is shallower than 11xx, but maybe was too shallow before.

Really made me laugh this one lolI took out my Kermit today, unscrew the crown for winding but instead the whole crown fell off the watch

Do you mean that the current V2 versions are not the final ones?

Who knows what is final? All is takes if for VSF to run out of something and source them from another supplier and some of you will think its a V3/4/5/6/7 (pip, crystal, for example).
