v4 PO back?

[TheOmegaFan]

Hey guys! Look at what I've found at Angus@PureTime!
Is it real v4 PO with working He valve?

The pearl looks really centered, but a bit low by the way!

Working HE valve???
Dream on.

 

[TheOmegaFan]

No? I've read here that it has functional He valve

 

[Mr. Pap]

What do you mean functional? As per gen? Cause thats not going to happen...

It screws and unscrews though

And on v5 it doesn't screws/unscrews?

I had 3 V5s, 2 were glued shut, 1 screwed off.

Doubt V4 is available anyway to be honest.

Surely does look like my V4 with a working HE valve. Nice.

 

[TheOmegaFan]

Yes, but a price for it...

Probably not the exact same as the old v4. I'm guessing it's just a conglomerate of leftover v4 parts and newly machined v5 parts.

Probably isn't even made anymore.
But I can confirm that with a watch that is out of production, you get a lot of new parts.
For example, I bought a 2500 AT, and it has the bracelet of a new 8500 AT. Still don't know which watch the case belongs, but no AT had a 40mm case.
It is still a nice watch, but from now on I will only buy new models.

On another note, InTime raised the PO prices a lot 2 weeks ago.
I know Swiss ETA V5 went from $288 to $428.
