Only comes with 2836 movement currently I’ve ordered 4 of them so will write a review and post photos once I’ve received it at the end of next week

Prefer this movement, so thats good. When will it be available at TD’s?
Looking foreward to pictures and review.

All very suspicious.

No sign of this watch at any of the Trusted Dealers, and very vague and conflicting info coming from a member who joined this forum a couple of months ago with a total of 32 posts who is purporting to be a reseller of this "new version".

It did not seem to me that he was trying to resell it. What I read is that he bought 4 of these models from a contact that he has in China and will post a review when he gets them. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt ;)

TDs releases are delayed sometimes...takes time for them to photograph samples, edit and upload for us to view. Relax mate...I too use my own dealers in China, and most of the time they release products faster than TDs.

The VRF MAX LB V2 looks promising, definitely better than the recent ARF. Too bad for the flushed SELs, dial font looks nicely raised and the blue looks close, need more pictures under different lighting to see.

Are you able to get a close up of the sides of the mid links?

You haven't seen the PM he sent to me - telling me that he was a reseller and quoting me a price for the watch.

Indeed in that case that's a problem!

Same here. I’ve just gone through this with a few of my usual tds and none knew about a V2 either. I’ve went ahead and ordered the arf version to tide me over since I have yet to see any good real world pics of it. Then if I don’t like it I’m sure I can sell it fairly quickly.


Which dealer is that then? Tread very carefully here......

All of the TD's I have spoken with have stated that there is no "V2" of the VRF 116613LB.
