Fortunately, completely white markers - bezel has some play as other noted already.

Really a 9.5/10 rep, feels solid and heavy as the gen does.

Can post more pics soon with more natural light, onto the pics..

Congrats, really nice!
Yes, pics with natural light would be appreciated.

Omg.... Guys..... This is absolutely gorgeous. I just received mine from a m2m sale here.

Lumes look pretty white to me. When fully charged and I come back to normal lighting, I can see some yellow/green-ness, but man.... Forget all that.... This watch is just gorgeous. Crazy good quality watch from VSF.

the logo seems to be off center, on the left ?? a new flaw ?

That's usually the reaction of most owners of this rep. Yea, there are some lume issues in certain lightings but you quickly get over it because the overall watch is outstanding.

The thing with mine is... It looks white in all lighting except when I was outside charging the lume and coming back inside the house. I can see slight green-Ness from the charged lumes. But this.... Idk looks very white to me. Maybe I will ask my 8 yo daughter later what color the lume is to confirm lol

Not that I am not trusting the seller on this, but how do I tell if I got a V2 bracelet vs V1? I went thru 18 pages of reading in this thread and I still cannot... Distinguish lol.
Pics of V1 I have seen here looks exactly the same as v2 and mine.

I think I saw a comparison post in this thread, have you tried searching BRACELET?

sukwonee thats the correct bracelet. Look at the end links, i’ll try and get pics to compare the two....

 

[jpchub]

V1


V2

I saw the comparison but... My untrained eyes could not tell the difference

 

[sukwonee]

V1


V2

Thank you so much for the knowledge and confirmation. Very helpful

 

[guill]

Thanks indeed, super clear.
I remembered..."SEL" is what I had searched for, when I found several photos and feedback on both bracelets (but hadn't seen the photos above).
I'm still not understanding what the problem with the SEL is in V2... guess I'll check those posts again.

For anyone that is wondering anything new coming from any of the TD's is going to be V2.

I used to wonder about this too, but it doesn't work the way you are thinking. Once they go to V2 they stop making V1 and V1 will no longer be available from a TD. The thing that makes it confusing is that the TD's that have a website and pictures like TrustyTime or PureTime never bother to remove a version once it is on their site. They just keep adding the new and don't bother to remove the old or discontinued models.

Why do you think that is?
Marketing?
Laziness?
IWDB? Internet watch database

Pretty sure it is because the factories don't necessarily tell the TD's when something is discontinued or unavailable any more so it would become quite time consuming.

They are lazy and probably don't think it is worth the effort.

so those bits in the SEL on the rep is rounded, and not flat and the same shape as the bits in the rest of the bracelet. The gen has those bits the same. Quite the eyesore once you notice it, lol

Thank you so much for this. I am learning so much. To untrained eyes like mine, this is hard to spot. Could you also explain what is wrong with the CG on this model?
