Honestly that is also a very fine choice. Agreed we’re splitting hairs on details only visible from 18 inches away, totally a matter of preference.

One more positive note for you - I just took a look at the QC photos of your rose gold GF v2. It actually looks a bit different and improved from the silver dial GF (presumably v2) I was sent a recent QC photo of last week.
Your logo is better aligned and gen-like. (Sorry, I can’t figure out how to upload this QC photo of the silver dial GF, so just take my word for it)

This is an important point, all my input is on the silver dial. I have no idea about the RG
Another thing I wanted to add, I keep seeing statements that the Gen markers are flat on the dial. I don't think that's true. Look at the 7 and 8 markers on this gen dial.

That’s true, but I think it’s a matter of degrees though... don’t think i’ve seen any photos of the markers sticking up quite as noticeably on any gen as some markers on the reps (including the silver dial ZF I have now, I definitely has a couple of floating markers). Doesn’t bother me though, very minor nit we’re picking.
anecdotally, the two gens I’ve inspected up close had no markers sticking up at all.

You're spot on. The markers float on the gen.
Look at the 7 marker

I'm going to pull the trigger on one of these soon, and looks like it'll be ZF! After looking through them and reading the VF moon dial is too bright of a blue to me and I don't care to deal with all the GF QC issues

Anyone have knowledge on the differences between the GF v1 and v2? Did they fix most of the QC issues?
I have a RG GF V1. At first glance, the "Jaeger LeCoultre" printing on the dial looks better on the V2.

How easy is it to service the movement (and particularly moonphase) On the GF v2? Is it something a regular (and rep friendly of course) watchsmith can do cheaply?

I've just bought it, so soon as it arrives. I'll let you see some pics.
Does anyone have pictures of their GF v2? I’ve just received my qc pictures and the 6 is badly off so I will reject. All of the markers are floating quite dramatically but I’ve read this is a feature of the genuine, is that correct?
They float on the genuine. Also the 6 marker is very hard to tell that it's "off". It looks off depending on the angle of the picture... due to its floating nature. It is hard to tell, ask for more angles.

Yes you should ask for pictures from a different angle.
I also had the same feeling on my QC pictures, but other pictures make me think that 6 o’clock should be ok.
I’m personally more worried about the “Automatique” .. Let’s see when I get the watch

Here is a straight front shot. Something around the 6 area seems off to me . Either the marker or the word ‘Swiss’ what do you guys think?
