Wow, that is some collection! One for every day of the working week?Got mine today. In fact, it is even more beautiful live than in the photos, as the dial with its color gradient and sunburst effect is difficult to capture on camera. The look changes greatly depending on the lighting conditions. The dial is generally a little darker than that of the gen, and perhaps also a little less striking. I actually like it better this way than the gen.
I will try out the milanaise / mesh band and the rubber strap in the next few days.
I still can’t decide what to do. I absolutely love the colour way, but having seen the gen (a friend wears it daily) I can’t help but notice the rep just doesn’t sparkle as much. But then, I’m reminded of 95% of the watch for 5% of the price…
There won't be a v2. I would love to bite my words but VSF hasn't bothered to fix it's stubby crown guards and/or soft crown tube in literally 4-5 years. They're not gonna bother with v2. The only hope you have is if another factory decides to make it.I still can’t decide what to do.

Do I wait for V2?!
Thanks @Reaps, this helps a lot. This is what I was thinking deep down, and the reason I went ZF for my normal blue.There won't be a v2.

They will never match the gen, no matter how many versions they gonna make. And some people prefer the more discreet look of the rep.I still can’t decide what to do.

Ironically, in some instances I prefer the reps being less "blingy" against the gen version, when I´ve had the opportunity to see them in person... call me crazy, but too me that blingy look is "too much" and screams "look at my wrist" way more than I´m comfortable with.They will never match the gen, no matter how many versions they gonna make.

But hey, yes, i would also take the gen, if money was no issue.
Thanks for the review @leo6929, how do you find the crown guards vs the silver VSF, they do seem somewhat bigger (though still not as big as ZF)?I just received mine from Trusty (although he failed to include the blue rubber strap.. bummer...) but the watch is fantastic.
I have the first iteration of the 300m from VSF (silver dial) and this feels totally different.. the weight, the bracelet, the details of the dial, bezel insert and crystal. VSF really stepped up their game, very happy I took the plunge with this one
Can you also order it with a mesh bracelet? I love it
