Where I need to be.
as long as you do not add a casioak to your collection I can't see why you are thinking you are elitist :hehehe:

Casioak is actually ok if you are someone other than an AP collector who understands the brand.
But for an AP collector to do this..serious questions need to be raised. :hehehe:

Hi J

We all have flaws in our personalities and both Q and I have been called more names than we care to count. I care about the regular and contributing members in this section and count Erinoush and Pdatoon among them. Pdatoon is also a personal friend of mine.

I generally do not comment on member personality but you seem to wear your “weaknesses” proudly, and speak of them as virtues rather than points to reflect upon and improve. It’s like me openly stating that I’m elitist, but I’m trying to improve on that. The point is that if I know I’m one, improving on it is something I do internally and not state openly with a challenging tone.

Of course you have your valid points sir. I agree with some points you raised about being pedantic of flaws which will not get seen in real life. Good points and valid without doubt. But to deliver your points with aggression and lace them with insults does not really win others over in your argument. When you get aggressive with others, I will step in if the other party is a friend or valued member like your good self, and you can be assured each time sir that I will bring the mighty calvary QueTip with me. If you learn to manage your own aggression, I’m sure that your points will be better taken. The point you raise about your smile not being seen etc applies to each of us fairly. When you’re bashing someone at the other end, have you also given due consideration to his feelings and thoughts?

There is a fine line between being a leader and a tyrant. You can choose to club all differing opinions into submission with brute force and you can be sure that the same will be done to you sir. It won’t end well for you. But I much prefer the alternative scenario where we can all get along and you do not act aggressively toward others and dictate on a thread what can be discussed and what cannot. I find that tyrannical and you can be sure I will not comply or be subordinate to such behavior or demands. Neither do I wish to see you bullying others again in the AP section please. Am I a section moderator? No sir I’m not. But do I have the necessary influence to lend the necessary weight to what I say? Yes sir I do. Never doubt that.

FYI I think that your points are in general rationally sound and accurate. But I’ve watched your aggression grow toward others and ive watched others shy away from confronting you. I do not care if you are cocky, arrogant or proud in real life, because like I said, you do not have monopoly over those traits in life sir. Some of us just learn to control these weaknesses better when interacting with others. And not everyone will back down from your cockiness. I much prefer to engage you in a discussion over watches and details than to discuss with you the meaningless topic of ego and pride in this forum. Like I mentioned you raised many good and valid points to others and I even liked those posts personally, but please do not seek to dominate this section with aggression and insults. If you try harder, I think we can all get along. I like the members here in general and I do not want to see them bullied into silence. If need be, I will always stand up and speak for them. And you can be sure sir that I’m never alone. You know that I cannot be doing this without the necessary support from those with the authority.

Let’s just get along with the guys J. You’re a good guy with excellent reasoning but please learn to express yourself more cordially to others here.

Update: Got my XF V2 back from the watch maker. Mine had problems with the date change after I got it back from reluming. The watch maker said something (key-something, don’t know exactly) was quite loose and he fastened it.
I tested it, on 28 days the date change worked fine, on three days it still had a slight misalignement.
The watch maker said he didn’t want to service the movement since it was running perfectly fine after he regulated it. It went from +51s/d to +6s/d. He said I should wear it and see how it performs and whether the date change works. If it still doesn’t work, he could try to fix it within a full service.

from this photo we can understand that XF has two different productions of markers. Just look at the white (and not green) index at 10 o'clock

8 months later and this has been the only watch on my wrist. I sold off every other rep I own because nothing is getting any wrist time while this is around...

I'm exactly the same :) I've worn mine 3 months straight. It's just "the" perfect watch to me. It does everything I want, the only negative is for when you want to do things where you fear for the watches safety... but that's what my G-Shock is for. But otherwise my other watches have seen nothing... It's just perfection :)

Not really sure if this one is the v2 that we are waiting for with polished bezel and links or not. Maybe someone who knows chinese can chime in

Image looks to me like a gen. But maybe they just did a great job. Which I would be very happy about

Hello sunshine ☀️

Lovely pictures, thanks for sharing. The consistency of the lume between hands and indexes is great! Did you modded this I suppose?
This specific point kept me away from the XF version, the difference between the greenish indexes and the white hands was just unbearable for my eyes.

I'm new into this rep world and currently starting with OOTB watches.

Ok so correct me if I’m wrong, the XF V1, didn’t have the “gap” issue like the V2? And the gap issue is one that modders can’t fix either?
Foe others it might not be an issue, but for me I can’t seem to let it go by just looking at the pics. I would rather get a V1. Is it possible to buy a brand new V1 from a TD? Or will all of them only carry V2s now?

Now TD all sell V2 unless you can find V1 from M2M. But the gen also has this gap so I don't know whats the issue with it. Instead I find the mismatched green and white lume even worse off than the "gap". It's a pain to look at and easy to get called out at a glance.

There's a very simple fix for that in fact...

I agree with you on the gap and lume issue. You’re absolutely correct.

With regard to getting called out, I think that the only way to truly prevent that 100% of the time is to buy and wear the gen. Otherwise, where getting called out goes for rep watches, it’s mostly a matter of probability. It is afterall a rep and ultimately someone somewhere will recognize it as one.

This “issue” has been discussed extensively earlier. It is your right to choose what you can or cannot live with of course. If this is a concern then get a 15202 which suits you from
M2M.
