SHB Your observations are spot on. I think I'll just go for another 116519, that one was perfect in every aspect.



I just wish it came on a bracelet too..

Indeed I just love this model but sad the gen is white gold, i can't pull this in public (even if 99% of peeps won't even notice what watch i wear)

I thought it was only me who noticed it, glad I wasn't alone.



Ya, I can't see any chance in Daytona colour between the two versions.

Theses are the first things i look, counter thickness and daytona color lol, and theses counters are just a step backward, pretty nice move for a v4 lol.

In fact, if i recall, V2.2 was "perfect", only serif R bezel was atrocious, v3 just had a correct bezel, and with the v4 we go back to v1/v2 dial with a correct bezel.

What's new with a futur v5? better counter thickness? lmao :hehehe:

Well, swapping the Bezel for CF would be the best idea, but again not many would be able to do this themselves.

Seeing how much changes were done to v4, I doubt they'll be much on v5.

Indeed, i would never try to swap the bezel myself, been seen too much damaged daytona by trying this at home :)

But your TD can swap it for you, Li do this without problem if needed.

Sorry isn't the ARF dial considered the best?

guys all talk about v2.2 but the first version of v3 just released is perfect because it has the updated bezel and the dial with the correct subdials like the 2.2. I have this

So based on this photo...it seems like the V3 is far from gen like on the dial and V4 is much closer to gen? When looking at both of these side by side, I’m survived the V3 was offered for sale as long as it did because the whole sub dials just stand out as being way too small/thin

It’s my black V3 (last batch) vs. V4 (intime pics)

V4 on right

You can't compare the pictures because it looks they were taken with completely different lighting.

I am not denying there few details that do require the correct lighting to compare, however, you can still compare a lot of things fairly easy with different lighting.

Many of which have already been pointed out even with lower quality photos.

After seeing this photo on WUS, I'm not sure if the subdials on the V4 are actually too thick:
