Oh well. Something we cant see during QC. But still a nice rep.

I am curious. How does it feel when you turn the bezel on yours? Is it too loose or is it wobbly?

Mine feels a tad bit too tight. And it's hard to get a good grip of the bezel due to the materials and shape.

Not tight not loose but sharp annoying click sounds not pleasant to hear. Also 1mm play.

Thanks for the feedback. Any solution you came up so far?

I havent tried anything actually. I do use it often when cooking, but never has it bothered me that much. It’s someting I can live with.

Now that you mention it, I just noticed that mine has about 1mm play too. The clicking sound is annoying but aren't all bezels like this? Lol mine is very tight when turning but no hollow sound.

I actually...... went and watched a YT video and the bezel on gens don't make noises like mine lol. Oh well... But hey this looks so gorgeous :)

Manipulating the click spring under the bezel might do the job. But Im not a watch smith.

Damn, that lume looks perfect!! That’s what’s been holding me back from ordering one of these. I wonder if all the TDs will carry these updated ones?

I got that one from Li and waited almos a week for QC, so he obviously didn’t have in stock and to source it fresh from the factory. Thus assuming that any TD should be able to get one. I just don’t know if all colours are updated as yet.

Gods own country! Yorkshire.
Today I received an updated SMP from m2m on repgeek which came from jtime a few weeks ago and as the previous owner of the earlier yellow tinted lume examples in both blue and black I can report that the crap lume is a thing of the past! This one is nice and white in all light just like gen on both markers and hands!
I do need to straighten the wonky 3 o’clock marker but no big deal.

Other updates I noticed are flatter less rounded polished parts on the sel plus a better shaped and fitting sel too.

The crown is now shorter and although not quite 100% like gen it screws better into the lugs on the case.

Also the polished sections of the bracelet are more refined and a bit thinner than earlier V2 bracelets.

Overall this is a great watch now and will stay on my wrist for some time I think. Good QC and a reliable dealer might be needed though to make sure you get this silent V3 version.

Oh man! Maybe it's time for me to pick up the rest of the colors soon. I want the blue and grey dials so bad.

From your pics, the marker lume looks flatter (less domed) than before. Could you let us know?

Yes I think you are right, on this one anyway! It still has a slight dome but I think it better and well applied too. I’ll try and get a pic tomorrow with my loupe.
Just taken this but not great.
