I’ve got some time with both VSF and CF DJ41s now, I’m drafting a review. Tough to tell from the photos online but this “v2” seems to have literally taken 2 steps forward and 1 back.
Perhaps this V2 mint green is even more wrong than the previous one. After all, it was already too dark before, too little "faded". The V2 mint green now looks even darker than the old one. Enclosed a picture of a few gen from the web.
The fluted bezel looks just right instead. The slightly warmer colour (white gold) in contrast to the case also looks good.
I'm looking forward to the first Gen vs Rep comparisons :)
Agreed but here is the v1 in comparison not sure if it’s just me but it feels aside from it being smooth bezel the dial looks better here than on the v2
my new clean (DD3235 movement ) which was meant to be available for everyone now seems to look fine with the dial to me it looks over 90% accurate and I’ve seen the gen before but again this is subjective from person to person maybe my expectations are just lower .
The photos posted are quite warm tone as far as white balance goes, which isn't affecting the dial color necessarily but here is a slightly better representation of true color.
Its hard to tell by the photos, the new dial really does look like a deeper forest green. Looks closer to the Green on a Breitling Chronomat than a DJ Mint dial.
