Dan makes a good point tbh. For those of us with v3/3.5 eating a loss and ordering another to go from 90% of gen to 95% of gen is rather silly. Even the 4.0/4.1 is still not up to par with gen which I saw yesterday again on 57th st. Straps on the other hand..... That rat skin upgrade is like 5% to 90%.

Some gen owners do know. A lot of us are gen owners here

So the noob has the same inner lume markings as the new maker? And has double ar cyclops? What's really makes this different from eachother?

Dan,

You have truely missed the point with your banal comment. Let me explain.

It's the critical eyed members of these forums that ensures the quality and accuracy of Reps the factories are forced to improve in regulatory. Yes 95% of members have no clue between v4 and v3.5, the majority need the critical eye of the 5% to demand improvement by swaying the majority.

BTW - similarly, the demand for high quality products for our improved reps keeps you in the strap business.

Am I wrong?

Mas, you missed my (dry) humor. That was said tongue and cheek. :lol:

You are 100% right, we all do this at some point. We all sound like we belong in a mental institution.

The quality requirements of you WIS gives birth to an entire cottage industry of strap makers.

 

[valante]

You guys sound like you belong in a mental institution.

When people ask about my AP's, about the most catching part to them is the "gay" at the end of Piguet. I can tell by their blank stares.

I'm good w/ V3.. No one will ever know, I promise. But.. carry on fellas. :facepalm:

Oh the horror!?!?! Avert your eyes!!!!

yea.........my girlfriend also said that i belong in mental institution.

and sorry.....even tou some says the font thickness is still not par with gen with v4/v4.1, but if my girlfriend can spot it right away. it means it is noticeable.

let alone our forum member.

As we all do - i love improvements and updates to these products/our hobby (just like Mas said.) All of us striving together to constantly make watches better is an amazing thing!
However, for most of us 3 or 3.5 owners (myself included) - i agree w Dans/P4gtrs post. Such minute/small details that nobody notices. Of course its just for us owners not everybody else!

So i see both sides of the fence. Also, maybe it should be noted that i may be nearly over the Diver - possibly that plays a factor as well...

 

[masmannan]

Personally, I agree with Dan. For the majority, small improvements are not noticeable nor worth the investment for upgrade. Dan sorry for missing your humour. You provide a well received product to the rep forum community.

However, I wanted to underline my appreciation of the members who have a genuine thirst for true excellence.

Masmannan.

Although I had the AP V4.0 but I still prefer the noob 4.1.

Gen vs V3...on the wrist, with a cursory glimpse, could you really tell them apart?

 

[Capt. Obvious]

You can only tell them apart if you have a gen for reference. In that case yes, it's quite easy to do so!

+1,
agree, if I can get the best of the best why would I spend $15,000 for the real deal, right?

I am satisfy with rep. that close to 95% of the gen. It felt like you pay 5% of the price and get 95% of the watch.

Like I've wrote.
Can't exist a rep 1:1
If you want this perfection , please buy a gen.

Also gen owners will never know most of these flaws. We know them because we have the reps.

The v3 had that blue ar which was a tell, but I agree with you. It's tough to tell. I'm a v3 owner and honestly I rarely see the blue AR in real life. Won't be upgrading for a bit myself

Just purchased a v3.5 from member. Can't wait to get it. I hope it's everything I hope for

 

[masmannan]

3.5 is a very good purchase. Expect to see some value as many will start to M2M their 3s and 3.5 reps for the upgrade.

I'd happily buy a 2nd Diver if I see a deal.

Yeah and then sell me yours at a great price!!!

 

[Woody284]

Does anyone have a link of review of the v3.5? I can't find it
