None of these are V2 but just an extra batch made by the factory!
V2 will be out in the next few weeks

That begs the question of what is the easiest tell to determine is one is getting a V2, when they are released.

 

[ferristara]

however we call it now:

V1 update -- or V1.5 -- or V1 newer batch -- or early version of the V2



....it looks much better than the BB´s from 1st batch in last November....




---> I love it and that´s why I placed my order yesterday afternoon <---




;o)

Here u go on so called new batch.
Upped the exposure in the pics.

I am no expert but:
-crown tube looks improved
-running serial
-dial makers match hands colors
-perl looks so so maybe the same as v1
-crystal I think it's the same as v1

Anyway whatever version... just enjoy what u like and get the newest v10 when it comes out

Frankly I think the V1s were already a solid rep. It will get progressively better, but at least they started off on a good note

So improvements for V2 are supposed to be :

1. Pearl updated to same as genuine
2. Bezel rotating mechanism updated to same as genuine
3. Updated to running serial numbers on case back
4. Dial markers updated to the same rose gold color as hands
5. Hour hand lume updated to be applied more even

What's the update to these then? What do you guys think has been updated on these...case, running serial, dial markers and lume?
The edges do look soften vs the original that had sharp inside lugs edges. If these also have updated pearls and bezel then it would be considered a v2?

I know the dealers probably all got the same new batch, but does this pearl look different/updated vs the others?

Pearl looks a little better. Still looks like v 1.63 to me tho.

FFS. Must be some leftover parts mixing together because V2 is already starting to come out... Here's mine w/ matching gold hands and hour markers... Improved pearl, etc..

 

[c888]

Has any TD said that these are not a v2 and there's another update coming out, or is it just insider info stuff?

Since there is no mention of crystal change in v2's, is it mainly the pearl and bezel movement that people are expecting in the v2?
What's missing in this update that makes it not a v2? if case, lume, dial, pearl has been updated, just the bezel movement needs to be confirmed?

 

[elconquistador]

I think folks wanted the crystal updated and the inclusion of all their hopes and dreams, and ooh ooh a pony.
