I feel like I'm the only one drawing attention to this; the side profile weave, taper, and finish have all been adjusted. This is one of the subtle accuracies of the watch I like most, mainly that side profile weave and taper. To me it makes the bracelet look much higher quality.
A few comparison photos, quick phone snaps of the v4 compared to screen grabs from the TT video of the v3. Notice the link profile near the lugs is much thicker, and as it tapers down towards the ends of the bracelet it gradually decreases in thickness. Also has less space between the links, they're much "tighter" which seems more accurate to me. Given these changes my thought is that this is a new bracelet, not just small tweaks to the previous one, as I don't see an easy tooling adjustment to manufacturer the taller links with a taper.
In a world where people are getting up in arms about whether or not a 2mm gap above the helium escape valve exists I'm surprised people are saying these two bracelets are similar
Second photo: Mesh pattern is updated. Beads are smaller, flatter, less oblong, and have less space between them.
For me this "V4" looks too thin and the Sprinbar area is wrong compared to gen.
