V2 all day

Thanks bro! That's what I thought.

How do you like the isofrane on that? My one gripe about the FF is that the strap is just a little thin for such a hefty watch.

Love it! A lot of Gen owners wear it on an ISO.
Even though it's 23 mm the 24 mm iso fits in perfectly.
Make sure to use Loctite on the screws because they easily come undone otherwise.

Regardless which version is considered better the bezel action on mine is the best I've ever felt on any rep. Better than most Gens I've had.

Bezel action is definitely luck of the draw. I have v1 in black and v2 in blue. the black bezel is on tighter than the blue, but the v2 has a louder click sound. both feel pretty solid though..

Looks great on that strap.
I love that watch but think it is too big for me. What size is your wrist?

 

[Frankp]

Like 7.5 -7.75

@Radman

I think you're good down to a 6.5 inch wrist. they fit and hug the wrist very comfortably..

~6.75 wrist for reference...

I've always loved these but I've held off for a long time due to their size (and price) but I'm starting to wear bigger watches now so maybe when the next version comes out (which Angus indicates will be soon) I'll pull the trigger.
