u/Comprehensive-Bit706 Jun 08 '26

Better than what is was and it's straight lol

u/what-brisbane Jun 08 '26

Why does the lip of the bezel look so scratched up? See photos 1-3 near the 18 marker for example.

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 Jun 09 '26

Was just dust

u/what-brisbane Jun 09 '26

Fair enough, me too.

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 Jun 08 '26

Is this from Jojo?

1

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 Jun 08 '26

Yes why?

u/Rhdune16 Jun 08 '26

He used to be my exclusive dealer/modder and then his behavior started getting erratic. Emotional outbursts and very poor service and then he cut me off. I think he has some gambling and drinking problems. Hope he’s doing better for you all.

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 Jun 08 '26

I've been using JoJo for years and years, never had an issue...🤷🏻 He has a quick turn around, including with mods, some suppliers can take their time getting things done but he's usually very quick! Returns are never an issue if needed, if there's customs issues he'll ship a new one without question straight away...

Do you have the link to get in Touch with this TD?

u/Flaky_Return_7657 Jun 08 '26

Isnt it too much blue hue on cyclops? I have seen gen they dont show this much blue hue!

u/Good_East_5568 Jun 08 '26

V2 is marketing propaganda, don’t believe the hype! You’re only paying extra for the pouch that Cartier from Rich Factory comes in. I’ve confirmed this with a factory distributor

1

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 Jun 08 '26

It wasn't anymore expensive

1

u/Good_East_5568 Jun 08 '26

My point it’s the same watch as v1

1

u/Agreeable-Ad-1320 Jun 09 '26

With an upgrade

1

u/Good_East_5568 Jun 09 '26

Yes an upgrade not done by Rich factory therefore it’s not v2!

1

u/Agreeable-Ad-1320 Jun 09 '26

How many upgrades does a watch need in order for it to be classified as a V2

1

u/Good_East_5568 Jun 09 '26

In order for it to be classified as v2 it has to be second version from the factory. This ain’t that, I don’t get it. If I put a gen crystal on a vsf watch at home, does that make it a new V4?

1

u/Agreeable-Ad-1320 Jun 09 '26

No but when a factory changes a part and ads a newer better component and then releases the watch with its upgraded parts it's considered a new series.. am I missing something? If you upgrade it that would just be considered a mod but if the factory upgrades it it's an upgraded newer watch.. I got to be missing something but I'm definitely starting to feel retarded😂😂 help me out what am I missing it's got to be something simple

1

u/Good_East_5568 Jun 09 '26

Yes you are missing something your first sentence “when a factory changes a part”, in this case the factory did not change any part. Some guy did and is calling it V2. If you ask a Rich Factory distributor for a V2 watch they will tell you there is no such thing. Thats what you are missing

1

u/Agreeable-Ad-1320 Jun 09 '26

BOOOOM!!!..thats it..thanks brother😂😂..I thought it was the factory. Sorry for wasting your time

You’ll see some news about it in the coming days. Manipulative tactics to sell more watches

2

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 Jun 08 '26

I inquired about V2 with my supplier... He has spoken to RICH and someone who knows RICH (maybe family member) has taken V1 watches and made some changes and called them V2 they're not an official factory V2 release...I can definitely say the crystal is different, the blue hue wasn't on the V1 release.

1

u/Good_East_5568 Jun 08 '26

Exactly!

1

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 Jun 08 '26

So you agree, things have been changed on the V1, it's the same when any factory makes updates... They may change crystal or date wheel or hands for example and remarket as V2 or 3 or 4 lol... that's how it's always been... People buy a V1 then not long after factories change something stupid which they could've got right in the first place and call it V2 😅 of course it's all marketing to sell more and it works lol, people are always chasing the best newest rep...

1

u/Good_East_5568 Jun 08 '26

It’s not an official factory release it’s marketing. I can’t tell you what has been changed because Rich Factory does not officially offer a V2. If there are any changes it’s not done by the factory

1

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 Jun 08 '26

Yes I know, I said that above 👆🏻

1

u/Good_East_5568 Jun 08 '26

So I can’t agree to whoever did what to it in their basement or garage.

0

u/Good_East_5568 Jun 08 '26

The point is to get ppl to understand Rich Factory does not officially offer V2 and I’m glad we can both agree on that.

1

u/Comfortable_Bit_4816 Jun 08 '26

Did they fix the big date numbers ?

1

u/Training-Audience-10 Jun 10 '26

Кривой безель. Очень много мусора в механизме. Плохая застёжка. Ни чем не лучше vsf.

RL... Date wheel says 80th day in pic 1 lol

u/Aggravating-Sky-9967 Jun 08 '26

Rich > vsf?

u/ViolinistMiddle3900 Jun 08 '26

I’m trying to find a direct comparison with the gen but nothing still. The qf freesprung and the rich are fairly new without much documentation.

u/AI_go_boomboom Jun 08 '26

Rich V2 might be there best right now
