I'm assuming, yes. When I purchased my LV a week ago, I went back and forth with Eric about whether there is a new batch or not. I brought up the clasp code difference. He told me that he spoke with the factory and they stated that they have not released a new version or new batch... the factory told him that they only released one version.
He also has commented on reddit that when a customer RLs a watch, he does not recycle... he sends it back to the factory.
So, my advice would be to be clear on what you specifically want when ordering... if it's the 1LQ or H7Z bracelet/clasp.
Hi Mark. I know that your question was directed to mr.beast. But I wanted to let you know that I have purchased both the LN & LV.
My LN has the 1LQ clasp purchased ~ 1 month ago.
My LV has the H7Z clasp purchased ~ 1 week ago.
I measured both bracelets and clasps (info in an earlier comment)... and while there is a size difference, it is so slight (0.5mm - 1mm), IMO, I view it as a tolerance difference. Both watches are indistinguishable on the wrist and both are of the same quality.

Li at Jtime had a few too. He usually posts pics of stock on reddit.
But last I saw he had a few of each and I'm sure by now, he resupplied because I know he got a handful of watches.
And edit to add - yes they're all new.

Glidelock is correct. But I do want to note that my TD offered to exchange the LV with the H7Z for one with the 1LQ. Upon receipt and after comparing both side by side, I declined and decided to keep the LV that I received. To my eyes, both watches are indistinguishable. And the LV that I GL'd is a great copy. My point is that you cannot go wrong with either.

No. The bracelet taper is slightly different* as well. I posted rough measurements a few pages back here.
The bracelet link at the case begins as the same size. But the last link of the HLZ is roughly 0.5mm wider** (only perceptible with calipers). Because the final links are slightly wider, the clasp needs to also be slightly wider to accommodate the 0.5mm difference.
*this difference is imperceivable to my eyes... including the bracelet taper.
**note that my measurement of the H7Z bracelet/clasp does not account for the fact that I measured the H7Z with it's protective wrapping intact.

I would contact him directly. He's very responsive and there are a few people that have posted on reddit today that he is still accepting orders. I always contact him via WhatsApp.
