Any reason to get the v9.5 when one already have the v7 ?



Almost every update that came with the V9.5 beside the greener hands on some batches. If you like the old style DW font - go for it as there is no need for a mikey DW mod anymore. As for the new style DW font the old V7 is closer but still not accurate so even a V9.5 wouldnt solve this issue without modding it.

Otherwise the finish is better, the flexible endlinks are like the gen ones (or almost) and the engraving of the case back matches the H-Serial date wheel font.

you can say you get more gen likeness for almost the same price.

Anyways i am still happy with my stock V7 as a beater.

Kudos to you for taking the time to write this response Bionone. A little reading would have found all of this information and more!

Sometimes a short conclusion of the last 20 pages of a thread can be helpful even though spoonfeeding is most of the time avoided by me hehe.

Sorry but which is the mickey dw? The bolder one?

the thinner font is the upgraded mickey dw and closer to gen. more apparent on single digit like 3 and 8.
imo the sans serif font looks better on the diver to match the tachy numbers.
