Have a V3 around here somewhere......................... As to your question Tom most likely has it right been at this a long time. Jack keep in mind is the V3 better yes most likely , I have one never bothered to switch out. Keep in mind we are the most anal bunch down to the smallest detail maybe just a hair better, but it is better so the word is V3 the best one. Very much depends on the level of watch craziness you are at, the one you have could suit you just fine.
