Hi Guys

I was thinking of getting a V5 PO with another watch I'm ordering as it looks quite cool and the 21j version is cheap. Luckily it still has a high beat 4813 as I can't stand a jerky second hand.

Apart from the movement are there any other differences to the A2824 version? Or does it have the same flaws?

Are the hand sizes the same? Do they still come with the incorrect date font and can this be fixed on the 4813 version?

At some point in the future can I drop a ETA 2824 movement or SW200 without too much of a ball ache.

Lots of questions I know. I have read a lot of the stickys but still have these questions.

Mr. Pap, Q5? And Om3ga guy?

Had all three 4813 versions, and still have the black/white and orange versions. Also have the Asian ETA version, but I've not had it in my hands since I posted it to Wiz eleven weeks ago. Can only post the following photos in the hope that they help a little:

All have correct logo, all have the anti-faking etching on the case back. Date wheels look different on the orange one compared to the other 4813 ones.

Thanks BaggyPants. Its a shame about the datefont as I was thinking of going for the orange one.

I am tempted by the black with orange numbers.
