Do the regular Black bays have better bezels?Or are they more or less the same as this one? The red one is calling my name...

[MENTION=132319]zethunder[/MENTION] : Thanks mate! Is it very wobbly? Does it feel cheap and rattly? I had a KW CrPO once that made the most horrid sound when I rotated the bezel. I wish they made them as good as Noob PAMs with rotating bezels ( like the 243 )...

You won't regret it. I have a red one also and am planning on buying a blue one too.

The bezel does not feel too cheap..we are all just being very OCD and anal...you know. Mine has a play about half a minute distance or so (both bronze and red one) and my bronze one used to make horrible clicking noises but lubricating it made a big difference and it is better now (don't expect a Rolex click here tho)

I'd love the Rolex click, especially for the price of the V2. It's not much cheaper than the Noob sub. Would you say that the V7 Sub is a much better watch for the money?

I'm talking about both (bronze kw is slightly worse but not too bad...in the end, these are reps)

V7 has a 120 clicks (as opposed to 60 in the Tudor) so it is inherently different. It is a matter of taste mate, I love my tudors...I bought a v7 Nd, Tudor bb red and bronze all at the same time and sold the v7 without even wearing it once (just realized it wasn't my thing)

Tudor bb v4 is one of the best reps out there and I absolutely adore the beauty of my kw bronze (minus the super ridiculous cheap strap and the buckle...they feel like $1 crap you buy off of ebay...)

It's come to a point where I simply don't give a damn anymore. I should have bought the old one, save a 100 and be done with it...

Haha, I feel you buddy, just stop tracking the Vs and be happy with what you got. It is a stunning watch (ever since I got it, my other watches (reps and gens) have been sitting in my watch box) and you won't regret it. The only thing I don't like about mine is the strap fitment (I am even OK w the strap itself despite feeling rather cheap)...v1 straps were mostly shorter than the lug with and no matter how hard I try, I cannot avoid seeing that spring bar ends and it hurts my eyes. Other than that, gorgeous watch overall

Easy fix, just get another nice strap! Vintage looking matches real well with bronzo watch.

I don't see any difference what so ever...maybe they changed one spring bar or let another guy in the assembly line touch the bezel this time and thus it is a v3 (this v nonsense is getting out of control)

Im sure its because ZF came out with a v2, thus V6F naming their V2 as a V3 just to make it sounds newer!
These v2 v3 v4 are being used very loosely now as a marketing tool, and sometime without basis.

It's confusing, because some dealers call it V2 and the others V3. None of them care to explain why. I think it's the same thing as when Toro refused to name the V7 Noob DSSD V7. It was an improved V6S. Now Chazingtime has the V3 too. It's still V2 at Sora's. I'm done...

They claim they are now using the same bronze mix as gen... copper and aluminum mix. Zf color appears slightly more yellow and KW still slightly more red, but not as red as the first version. It's crazy because in some gen photos, it has more of a yellow tint... some more red. Guess it's a color balance thing. I'm sticking with KW V1 for the time being. The ZF dial looks a little more crisp in some of the dealer photos.

That's what they claimed for the V2! This is nonsense...good call on sticking w V1 (I'm doing the same and I'm loving my V1...it is spot on from every angle in my books, especially after some patina)

Mine says hi to all the other crazy versions :)

[MENTION=132319]zethunder[/MENTION], what's your wrist size and width? Looks a little big! Mine's coming over after this weekend. I'm getting impatient, haha.

Don't worry about yours buddy, I have rather "delicate" (aka lady like) wrists...yet I do enjoy bigger watches. You will be totally fine and inner your wrists are larger than mine
