Where did you read about the improvements on the v2?
on RG, someone emailed Josh, and he replied "Hi
The first batch are flawed stocks with uneven lugs.. This has been corrected."

and he doesn't have them in stock for ... Most think its just another batch.

I'm Sorry to say its not much of improvement!,,,,,The font on the dial looks crisp! But no better than my V1 The crystal is the same!,,,But they are still dimples in the lume ! Just like my V1,,The pearl looks improved ?,,,The font on the insert is the same. Everything is pretty much the same ,,besides the pearl!
Not to much of a improvment!:dejection:

Yeah, what about it makes it a new version?

Can't see anything in the pics that makes it appear improved/better compared to mine.

And the price is higher than others sell it for. But that's the cartel for ya.

Looks great! I'm pretty hooked on this rep. I'll be purchasing from Josh at p-c in the next two weeks!

Ignoring the fact that a v2 likely doesn't exist; aren't the v1s sold out everywhere?

It looks like V2 improvements were kind of promised to Cartel. Probably no details on what was supposed to get improved. When I ordered THBB from Joshua, he accepted the order and set me for wait about 2-3 weeks for new batch, presumably V2. When I got the watch "out of the blue" - he was surprised, since factory stated they had no stock at the moment. So what I got is probably the rest of V1 or just sample of V2. IF (big IF) V2 is supposed to exist and I got first sample of V2 - then I cannot spot ANY difference besides the rose gold on hands is exactly the same rose gold as on indexes (since some guys claimed there is gold color difference on their THBB reps).

BUT, since I like the watch so much, I ordered 2nd unit of it and this time I am waiting for the new batch (supposed "real" V2) - so I will be able to directly compare the same rep from 1st and 2nd batch and we will see.

Are we dealing with what we thought was impossible - a "perfect" rep?

What is there to improve? I haven't had the chance to try the rep myself, but if the feeling is like the gen, it is practically gen, also because the movement is the same as per gen (ETA 2824). But of course not Swiss ETA for now.

Can't wait to get mine :)

There is no V2 yet, this is simply the third batch of V1.
Some folk get far too hung up on V this and V that.
