Below I hope you will be able to see the differences
The Pre-V sometimes are called Vintage hands

Pre-V hands are not the same as vintage hands, they look different.
Vintage hands used on some models and series (360,366,367, 111N and some M, 112N, 000N, 005N and some more models).

On a modern hand the lume on the minute and hour hands ends where the point (arrow) starts.
On a vintage hand the lume extends furter out on the tip of the hand.

Wait a minute and I will snap a pic of two of mine modern and vintage hands

Edit:
ALE beat me to it

Here are my 112M with modern hands and my 111N with vintage:

It all depends what models and series. Some models only have vintage hands and some had both.


Take the iconic 111 for example.
Up to M series (2010) they had modern hands.
But on the M series they started to use vintage hands (so M series can have both).
On the N series (2011) they only used vintage hands.

But now it have been reported that the new O series (2012) have gone back to use modern hands..
Who knows why?
I prefer the vintage hands since it a wink to the past Pre-V hands

Is the color of the lume different between "modern", "vintage" and "pre-V" hands?

I have an older 113 that has ivory colored lume on the hands and hour markers...is this fantasy or "vintage"???

Maybe it is a Pre-V 207a
The PAM113 cannot be old enough to have natural patina lume

Hi guys! I'm looking for a Noob Pam 111 and it's difficult to find on stock right now. Only found it on timeshop, but it's the swiss Eta version... can anyone that bought it confirm that it's a real swiss Eta mov?
TIA
