Didnt find anyone else post this, so after getting a v3 head w/swiss mvmt at a steal price i decided to make a side by side review, comparison. The following are the only improvements i know of. Be kind and let me know if there is more.
First, date window, date font, cyclops, oscillating rings. All in one shot:
V3
V2
Cyclops has got the annoying blue AR, other than that, everything improved verry well.
Next caseback texture. Also improved, more defined/rough.
V2
V3
Serial font is more gen-like
V2
V3
Numbers font on bezel is smaller and sits closer to the dial.
V2
V3
Bezel triangle mark at 12 smaller as per gen:
V2
V3
Lume is way better, but still not superlume as promised:
V2
V3
rubber gasket on v3 protrudes more than on v2 (not sure whats closer to gen)
V2
V3
"SWISS MADE" font is corrected, not as thick and heavy as V2
V2
V3
Cutouts in case for crown are rounded
V3 on the left, V2 on the right.
Crystal sits higher on V3
V2 on the left, V3 on the right:
Caseback profile is changed v3 on the right, has a smaller bevelled edge but thicker look, compare to V2 on the left.
Crownguards are thinner on V3 on the left, than on the V2 on the right.
Bezel screws are sunken in:
V3
V2
This sums it up so far. I am still waiting on the strap with buckle and links from Toro.
Here is a few more side by side shots.
Hope some of you find it usefull/interesting.
Serge.
