Hey man

I think from the sound of it u seem like a perfectionist
And the fact is for a perfectionist there is only the option of going gen bc all current versions have flaws (just with bezel mainly).

However the forged carbon v3 looks promising.

I find it myself as perfectionist,
but depends on ur view tho, without perfectionist there will be no
improvement over something to get better and better.

i would say all member here is perfectionist eventho they can handle flaws,
without such demand, there will be no v2 v3 v3.5 v4 v4.1 v.5
without "perfectionist" side, we just stuck at v1.
:beatahorse:

And with all the version, its where decision making skill required
we will never in the game.

So the 4.1 is better than the 5.0? Because the inner bezel is to thick?

till today i guess there is no clear statement that said 4.1 is better than v5 or vice versa.
Its all people opinion, and also which one has correct inner bezel size, lume or width is still not an exact as gen, since Gen itself got various flaw.
however, just the day before yesterday i become more prefer to v5 than 4.1.
:)

Its a very tough decision,
and since noob fac is the one who improve the diver
i hope they will update new diver to fight this competitor v5.

that is not correct, 2 of our trusted dealers said, v5 is better, case and tachyring have improved over 4.1....One of them is
an AP expert, so I trust him

I hope they are going release any newer version soon, because I am seriously buying one. It would be a madness if there is a newer version right after couple weeks I got one. =(

Gotta say I haven't seem much improvement since v3.5. Also, people vastly overstate the sunken-ness of gen screws.

V4.1 vs v5 comes down to the thick numerals and square zero centers vs AR on the 4.1. My preference is perfect AR since it's what makes a watch pop so I like 4.1, but many others disagree and would prefer the v5. Even with v5, if you're looking that closely you'll notice other differences, so might as well go with better AR.

Gimme better AR on the V5, particularly on the cyclops & we have a clear winner.

Also could think of it in terms of "what is easily modded?"

We have modders on the forum who can give you an AR faaar better than anything out of the box! So a V5 may have more potential!

Not sure on the Rg yet, I'll see how I get on with the Ss 1st, saving my cash for the FC diver and hoping the updates are going to be good!
