The 2836 will give more hand-dial clearance and thus look better.
What are the tells it is a V5 if it doesn't say?
I don't think that the second link is Asian, because Puretime has Asian mvt for 238USD:The first is Swiss ETA and the 2nd link is Asian Clone ETA, differences in movement to keep it simple.
What about this one for $148 I have the new cr po clone of the 8500 movement but its too thick. Love the face lume and has like a two day power reserve. Will I be happy with this one.

I was looking for this one as well but with black bezel & orange number.
I wonder if this is a good replica.
Everything as per the Swiss model, the one and only difference is the model.
You can change it by replacing hour wheel and minute wheel. It's not inherent to ETA2836.
