Some quick shots.
-bezel is tight and no play, perfectly aligned
-set time is smooth and crown screws down nicely.
- hands color match indices.
-bracket is nice and tight
-crystals is clear with AR. Same as old?
-lume evenly applied. BUT lume still not very bright ! Also doesn't quite look like gen .. More green ?
- dial engraving doesn't pop up like gen
- perl upgraded ? I dunno.
Am happy ? Yes even if it's a v1.999!

Stop it already..
v2 is not out yet or Angus would have said so.
To be honest the pearl of these looks like crap and nothing like gen. It screams fake.
Look at the gen pearl and compare it with the so called v2. Huge difference.
Might be v2 but if it is the makers messed up the pearl again.
I think v2 means two versions besides red. Blue and black.
I really don't think they will improve the pearl or lume in the so called v2 as they can still make more money if a v3,4... comes out.
Happy waiting !

I didn't screw down fully the crown as I only do it finger tight. Better wait for a gen-rep comparison if you need the assurance.
Just received QC pics from Ryan of my V2; all looked good until I realised (after the excitement frenzy had worn off!) That the stark white lume on the hands didn't match that of the markers!
The disappointment in having to wait a couple of more days for more pics is ridiculously disproportionate!
However, do stark white hands hint that the blue TBB is closer than we think?

Hot News! ZF factory all out of stock! I am accepting the watch Ryan had sent QC pics of as it seems many of the latest version have lighter lume on the hands
The same thing happened with the QC photos Ryan sent me first. The Hands were bright white and the markers were almost a cream color. Luckily they were able to get another that was perfect. I just received the v2 yesterday and it is amazing, my only issue is the lume isn't as bright on the 12,3,6 and 9 markers. The hands and other markers glow like a torch.
Either way, enjoy the watch.
