Both are reliable if its serviced... Both are draw of luck if it isnt serviced,4130 is better movement can be better regulated and run like +1 second a day and have full crhrono function,but in long term which will die first that nobody knows cuz both a4130 and arfs modified 7750 are new very new hehe

The comment by Robi01 in the post above is accurate as both are Chinese Replicas of Swiss Movements.

just got QC pics for the V3 from jtime... looking at the bezel, it seems this is the V2 because of the R in the bezel, can you guys confirm this as well?

Similarly just ordered a black V3 from JTime - any thoughts on quality / V3 status welcomed!

All you have to do is zoom in on the R's and the S. If it's a skinny S in UNITS it's a v3. Really simple

It is a V3, but why is it that the poster above has larger QC pictures with much better resolution from the same TD?

Could be, Tapatalk now requires a paid membership to upload full resolution photos

I messaged the TD and he stated it is a V3 and not V2 for the white dial Daytona QC i just posted... the bezel looks for sure like a V2 because of the R. Anyways, i told him i would like to reject it and order another V3 from factory. I also bought the CF bezel from him, once I approve the QCs, he will install the bezel for me. But we'll see how the new QC pics look like on the new watch...

The watch in that QC picture has a V2 bezel, but if your TD is going to change it to a Clean Factory Bezel, then it really doesn't make any difference because a V2 with an updated dial and a V3 are exactly the same watch, other than the change in the bezels.

Hmm I thought about that but wasn't sure if the bezel was confirmed that that was the only thing that was changed from v2 to v3... I read somewhere here saying the SELs look better on the v3... so should I just keep the v2 or just wait for another V3 since I meant to buy the V3?

Been scrolling through and realised that v2 parts are being mixed in the v3... would probably wait awhile more before pulling the trigger on one of these ????

The only difference between a v2 and a v3 is the bezel, as mentioned in the 2 posts just above yours. So I'm not sure which parts are being mixed ?!

Yes,every watch need service from time to time(cleaning and lubricate all movement parts) and for reps it is recomended to service as soon as possible because the most of them are dry of oil inside and dirty

116519 LN is already good (except bezel). So, If you are planning on chaging CF bezel, you don't need to wait for v3.

So would it be worth me buying the 116519LN and CF bezel instead of waiting for the V3? It's just extra cost, unless the CF Bezel is much better than the V3 bezel. And I need to look into how easy it is to swap them over myself.
