Question regarding v3 / v4

[protectingmyassets]

Hi guys, fairly new to the RWI community and had a quick (probably very dumb) question. What is the difference between reps that’s say V3 and reps that say v4? I’m assuming the “v” means version. So the higher the version # the newer / better the rep? Am I right by assuming that? I’m specifically looking at this black ceramic AP. I will attach the links below, I’ve heard mixed reviews on the v3 specifically because of the weeks hand moving and not like the gen I believe? Still not sure what some reviews meant by that. (If you can explain I’d sincerely appreciate it). But no reviews on the v4 is that probably because it’s newer and they’ve made some necessary changes on the “newer” v4? Does that even mean it’s newer than the v3? Thank you so, so much!

Generally speaking, yes, new versions correct the faults of previous versions.

But not always, and some newer versions have been found to be a step in the wrong direction, with new flaws that can be worse than the prior ones.

It's best to research the specific model you're considering, and find out what the pros and cons of each version are, then decide for yourself which faults you can live with.

Sometimes this isn't an option, unless you buy used M2M, since older versions won't be stocked by dealers for long, and factories don't usually revisit them.

Thank you so, so much! This helps a bunch. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction with this new v4 ceramic update as there’s relatively no reviews on it. Again, thank you so much!

If it's new, it will be a while before anyone starts posting detailed information about it. Best to lurk here and the various similar forums (and even...and I'll catch hell for this...Reddit, lol). There's lots of information, but rarely is it all in one convenient spot. This forum is probably the best source of information on reps, but it does have a focus on certain brands and models and factories, and some other sites focus elsewhere.

just to add on, the newer version sometimes are not always the best version depending on the watch and factory.

Also I find that some factories would say improve on the dial so well but for ome reason they'd seem like they deliberately fuck up the bezel when the previous version bezel is perfect.

Longtime lurker, new member.

Reading reviews of new models (and the posts that follow) is priceless.

The search bar is your best weapon in attaining valuable info, pics, criticism, and opinions of new versus old.

126500 vs 116500.

Pepsi Clean's V1, vs V2 vs V3 vs V4, including pics of bezel inserts in black light.

Clean xtal vs VSF

ARF bracelet vs VSF's recent.

Bracelet codes.

In short, everything you need is already here, you simply need to find it.

If it isn't here, I'm guessing it doesn't exist yet.

Nevertheless, this spot is the place to ask your questions without being criticized.

Enjoy your journey.

Hi guys, fairly new to the RWI community and had a quick (probably very dumb) question. What is the difference between reps that’s say V3 and reps that say v4? I’m assuming the “v” means version. So the higher the version # the newer / better the rep? Am I right by assuming that? I’m specifically looking at this black ceramic AP. I will attach the links below, I’ve heard mixed reviews on the v3 specifically because of the weeks hand moving and not like the gen I believe? Still not sure what some reviews meant by that. (If you can explain I’d sincerely appreciate it). But no reviews on the v4 is that probably because it’s newer and they’ve made some necessary changes on the “newer” v4? Does that even mean it’s newer than the v3? Thank you so, so much!

I have the v4 of this from Intime and the week indicator doesnt work and instead is acting as a "second hand". By this I mean it still moves as a second hand when it should not. On the gen its used to indicate the 52 weeks of the year.

Generally the V3, V4 are just the versions upgrade.

But there are some dealers who sometimes use this version upgrade numbers too casually. lol

Thank you.
