yes I agree KBH nothing new there.
I thought not though I have shipments of these petty much every week and only variation from time to time is bezel

side by side with the 2836 watch there are many differences but for an $80 watch it's great value
 

Q5?

It is hard to tell with these pics, just need a better angle to be sure.

I agree these are great value for the money.
im still pretty sure the he valve is different on this one than the previous.
when i look at them side by side i can see it, ill try to post a better picture.
BTW it is keeping fantastic time + 1sec per day at the moment.!

Ok guys.
heres two pics the Po on Black rubber is a 6 month old POrikaa

its pretty clear that the hev is bisected by the 10m marker.
this orange bezel is a brand new POrikaa

its pretty clear to me that the lower edge of the hev is colinear with the 10 marker

The HE valve should be centered over the 0.

Although it looks better than your other picture, it's hard to tell if it's just the angle. Draw an imaginary line from the center post through the 10 o'clock marker on the dial and you'll see the difference.

I'm still scouring the forums looking to see if anyone has recently purchased a good 42.5mm lately... my results are nil. I may have to become the guinea pig for Silixwatch at some point in the future at this rate lol.

Why 42.5?
I only have a 7" wrist and the 45mm fits great.
