It's already discussed on the preivous page

and YES , they finally stopped to engraving this fucking bezel !!!

Hope they will do the same on the PO 43.5 models too !!!

Dude, easy on the excitement, the gen IS engraved...

 

[Therion666]

You're not mistaken, it's supposed to be black

It was not black on reps until now...

 

[Therion666]

That's unfortunate indeed ! Cant you cancel the order or replace it with the new model ?

Not sure..bummer.. This is actually a plan B order, because they couldn't find a decent Noob Daytona. I'll ask them if they can make sime sort of a bundle with the rubber strap. Or I'll just order another watch on rubber.

Dude, if they don't want to replace your order just demand a refund and choose another td. Puretime did that for me w/o any hassle.

Black since v2 on this model.

I just checked the videos on puretime and to me the bezel looks slightly engraved. It can be seen on the macro shots. When the camera hovers over the bezel and you press "stop" you can see tiny edges on the bezel markers.
If you ask me the bezel is still slightly engraved.

I have just checked the gen videos and it seems to me these are slightly engraved as well, I would guess the rep is darn close to the gen here. Can't see to much obvious flaws actually, woudl this classify as super rep maybe? Gen vs Rep would be an awesome thing to see.

Can somone confirm if this is the bracelet with correct midlinks?

The rep is supposed to have an engraved bezel, because the gen bezel is also engraved and filled with enamel.

This is not a super rep, no red seal in He valve, wrong movement.. I don't understand the obsession with the super rep status anyway, it's beyond me.

I accepted the VSF Best Edition from Trusty (Andrew) because he told me there was going to be a long wait for the blue one and the grey one. Now 2 days later they release this v2!? What the hell!?! I got lied to by Andrew! That’s not ok!

Ive emailed him to cancel the V1 and send me a V2 instead. If he doesn’t I’ll ask to return the watch and ask for a refund.

Good luck. I did tell you he wasn’t a TD here. Now you know why

And that's a good thing. It would be wrong if it was flat.

Been black for a while now. Along with the improved bracelet, dial and smaller pearl.

I see. I thought that wasn't the case until today.

He's a TD on RWG, so he's safe.

I reply here instead in PMs.

Gen bi-colour 2018 have the smooth bezels. This is becasue the engravings are filled with yellow/sedna-gold and the markers make a flush with a ceramic.

Gen steel models - engravings filled with a white enamel, the markers are slightly recessed.

Macro of the gen steel watches

PT video of steel v2

Judging by how the light plays, the boarders of v2 markers are visible, what is fine and means the v2 bezel is not completely smooth.
Good enought for me, I will be getting one of those v2.

does the grey one still has the pink or purple hue on the dial?

It never did-that was on the gray Aqua Terra.
