projectologist Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 IS the V1 truly better then the V2 ? Can anyone else shed light-- Thanks! V1 dial lume color is the business... V1 rep in daylight... Gen in daylight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yes but the case, movement and strap are better with the v2. Dial can always be replaced or relumed in the future if need be. I'm buying the v2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projectologist Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yes but the case, movement and strap are better with the v2. Dial can always be replaced or relumed in the future if need be. I'm buying the v2. Actually the V2 case isn't any more accurate than V1. Especially the lugs which are the biggest tell. The gens lugs are a little chunkier leaning more to PreV style especially when viewed from the side. Upon seeing the current 360 reps on the wrist, the only tell that really stands out is the dial. And unless the person doing the relume has a gen to go by and match (can't do it from pics alone) you'd be wasting your money. Slap a ST-36 movement in a V1 and you're good to go. Can't go by DLC color either based on pics alone. The V1 matches nicely to gen. And here are 2 pics of the same gen 360 taken at the same time, only difference is one was taken in some shade the other a little more sunlight. Looks like 2 totally different coatings, which is why final judgment can't be made solely by pics alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flim Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I think V2 case is more suitable for Pre-A but the CG is very nice. I trust projectologist because he owns the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 The v1 case is more curved....quite noticeably so. The v2 has a squarer more close to gen appearance. Strap also is better with the v2. Also like the case back much more with the v2. Both have pluses and minuses but after great consideration I'm going with the V2. Many pics of the gen under different lighting I presume show a more yellow/orange appearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I have never seen someone wear a Pam, gen or rep . Must be an American thing, they seem not so popular in Germany. I wouldn't even know where to find a PAM dealer. You are lucky, haha. Where I live in certain areas you can walk around and within an hour run into 3 or 4 people wearing Panerais. It's pretty insane.

lucil Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 the v1 refers to the one made by H factory right? the one with brighter lume than the v2 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hi Projectologist, I never heard of st 36 movement. I just found this: http://www.helenarou.com/new-6497-st36-mechanical-manual-winding-mo649736.html Much cheaper then 6497 on ofrei. How good are those st 36? Thanks!!

projectologist Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi Projectologist, I never heard of st 36 movement.

I haven't tried one yet, but folks here I trust have said it's a reliable alternative to SWISS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thank you Projectologist. Also what I am seeing from your posts is that you own a genuine and the V1 rep. So if you say things like "Slap a ST-36 movement in a V1 and you're good to go" and "Actually the V2 case isn't any more accurate than V1..." - it looks to me like getting less expensive V1 and ST-36 movement for it makes most sense. Which is what I think I will do... THANKS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Will the hands that come with the v1 fit onto that movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hmm... good question Perry. We have only 2 choices and that seems too many, haha... I just want a PVD. Maybe just get V2 and don't worry about details, service that movement and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfovco Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 DMS, did you get it from trusty? I see he added some QA pics here 4 days ago. http://imgur.com/a/vn0Rm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxman Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I ordered my 360 v1.2 from Joshua and got the QC pics this morning. The case color is suppose to be closer to that of the genuine.

DMS Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 @Ivofco; Nope, not Trusty's. It's from a forum member elsewhere. He got it from Toro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 @DMS; thanks for the info. I imagine everyone carries the same model from the same maker so there shouldn't be any weird differences. One thing I noticed on different pictures is that sometimes CG lever sticks out further away from the case and also it's tip shape looks weird on some pictures. I guess that's why you do QA...

gwalsh Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 So, does anyone know if DSN is using a v1 case set in his 360? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 My friends in my work have bought many a watch, like myself from Trusty, and they are really happy with the H factory 360. It really glows quality. The 360 has to be one of the best offerings Andrew has put out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relaxman Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Damn that looks nice!! This is my incoming. Crown lever might be a little funky but I can live with it. Color looks good though. Wish it had the pre-v hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thnx mate! Yours look good too ;-) I am curious of what is different on the V1.2 compared to my V1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
