Has anyone purchased one of the Chronomat Evolution V3's, if so which dealer carries these and how was the overall quality? I have read a lot of the dealer reviews and looked at many of the sites, but I have not seen any reps there were labeled as the newer V3.....any help would be great.

The V3 as it's sometimes known is in fact a V2 with updated datewheel. Most of the dealers here will stock it and they're all from the same factory as far as I'm aware. General concensus has it that the Graphite dialled version with Automatic in red is the most accurate. Just go for the cheapest versus current customer satisfaction when choosing your dealer. You won't be dissapointed with this watch, it's a great rep. Also when you get it never adjust the date between 9 and 3 o'clock (some say 10 and 2) as you can mess up the date change mechanism... :wink:

Thank you very much for your advise, so is it best just to email the dealers and request the V3/updated V2?

Correct, just mention you want the updated 'gen like' date font and decent rider tabs. Some may send you a few pics of your actual watch prior to shipping if you ask, if they do bang them on the forum to check the watch out before accepting it. There are plenty of people out there who can spot any faults for you... :wink:

Yes it is Ray, long term members have great watches but are unable to go out in public as their heads grow to the size of a small planet... :p
