You're setting yourself up to get get shot at for 'not doing your research'.

The first is Swiss ETA and the 2nd link is Asian Clone ETA, differences in movement to keep it simple. Many posts about the differences, but all comes to preference to be honest. Just do a search on "2824 & 2836" and I'm sure you'll have more than enough information.

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?
Is closed back enough?
V4 came out in 2006, so is it even made now?

Trevor for example has only these two orange ones:
http://www.trwatch.com/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=661
http://www.trwatch.com/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=971

First one was added to their catalogue on July 2012, second one on March 2013.
First is basically a rep of an older PO, calibre 2500, second of calibre 8500.


The first is Swiss ETA and the 2nd link is Asian Clone ETA, differences in movement to keep it simple.
I don't think that the second link is Asian, because Puretime has Asian mvt for 238USD:
http://puretime.co/product/planet-ocean-42mm-ultimate-edition-orange-on-ss-bracelet-a2836/
270USD and up should be 100% Swiss ETA, if the watch is from a trusted dealer.
You can prove me wrong, but I will need a link from a TD.

Don't know what's with this 2836 Puretime has, Perfect Clones, Trusty and Trevor all have the same watch with 2824 mvt.

It is the same as $320 one, except for the movement, which is Asian 4813. But it is still 28800bph. Don't know much else about this mvt.

It also says in the bottom, altough it should say movement instead of model:
Everything as per the Swiss model, the one and only difference is the model.

But I don't know which version it is, V4 or V5.
I already asked on the previous page if V4 is even made now. If not, then it is surely V5.

You can change it by replacing hour wheel and minute wheel. It's not inherent to ETA2836.


Of course and you have to replace all three wheels but that's not what he asked...I merely noted an aesthetic difference in response to the question.
