I have to disagree... in all the gen photos, there is more contrast with the logo and dial. Under certain light, the dial appears lighter, but in most pics, it's a very dark brown.

Hmm...just checked that out. V6f looks more gen like to me that this v2. I think the dial is way too dark on this one. Not sure why kW would make a v2 as the first version seems pretty spot on.

Has anyone noticed the listing for the KW v2 at trustytime? Looks like they may have darkened the dial
S.O.B! lol. I need to see more pics of that new dial, but it appears to me they nailed it with v2.
Looks like my v1 will be going up for sale.

I honestly don't even think this is a different version....the description is same other than the back plate color matching...as far as dial color goes, I think it is only lighting and if anything I still think v6f looks pretty spot on (just watch the video on trusty time for the v6f - and these two gen videos from youtube...to my eyes, dial color is spot on for the first version)

Edit: Just checked with my TD and the pics again...only difference appears to be in the case back (which is what Trustytime states as well) v6f with solid bronze case back where v2 v6f with goldish yellow case back. I got my qc pics a few days ago and mine had a rather goldish color case back..I first thought it was a mistake and should reject it, but then checked with gen videos and pics to find out that was more gen like color. My TD just confirmed me that he sent me the updated caseback version without mentioning lol

My KW arrived yesterday.In the first time,good impression,not bad the leather strap that is quietly to use with watch.The rotor is lightly noisy and the sound of rotation of bezel is terrifying.
The color of case is like copper not bronze and have vintage treatment as oxidized.I think that this features are common in other.A question:is this the corrects dimensions of this watch compared with gen?It appear too big for me..

Just left an AD who had the BB Bronze in display. Without question the biggest tell on the rep is the dial markers and text. It's a more pronounced gold on the Gen dial. I think the dial color is pretty darn close.

Well,I think that this is the biggest tell on every rep that not have embossed logo and fonts in other materials.This flaws is common in Submariner,sd4000 yachtmaster and many others.
But I survive with this!

That's not what I'm saying. They missed the shade of the gold color on the text and markers. If that was just a little more pronounced or lighter gold, it wouldn't be so obvious.

Ok,I thinking that you speak about font and logo that are more flat otherwise to be more embossed of gold shade color.
In my opinion this is a generic problem that is common in other rep.
Generally I love this rep!

So, did any of you try and get the bezel off yet? I tried yesterday because I think there is some gunk is under it, but couldn't pop it off.

What tool or device did you use to pop off the bezel? I'm afraid of scratching or gouging the bronze.

thin, bendy kitchen knife, tape the case around where you're gonna prize it off to avoid scratches. youtube has tonnes of videos which will show it better than my words

Got mine a couple of days ago from Ryan.

Treated and weathered. Hasn't come off my wrist yet.
