V3 Avenger Blacksteel PVD?

[cheswick]

I'm looking to pull the trigger on a Avenger Blacksteel soon and even though I know the bracelet is fantasy, I think I'm leaning towards picking it up from Toro (will likely add the rubber as well, that way I can have the accurate combo also).
Here's the link: http://www.torobravos2013.com/index....product_id=148

As far as I can decipher, this is a V3. I've been searching away and can't seem to find much info for V3 Blacksteel... Can anyone inform me how the PVD is? Is it comparable to V2? Or is it as bad as V1?

I've heard V2 isn't that accurate compared to gen- but definitely don't want to be taking a step back with this model...

 

Thanks for the help!!

there are a few guides that outline the different avenger rep versions their pros and cons .. 

[cheswick]

Yes and I'm pretty sure I've read them all... There's very little info on the newer avenger blacksteel model. Obviously the info for the stainless models applies, but that's little help for the black finish info :-/

V2

Thanks tframo. That's what I've been able to decipher as well. Just haven't heard great things about V2's reliability and I'm not prepared to replace the asian 7750 with an ETA within months of the purchase. Are my fears unfounded?

I have a V2 and it's been a nice rep. I got rid of the blingly pro 2 bracelet and put on a crocostrap so as to reproduce the gentlemenesq appearance.

David- love the brown!

Change of plan for me tho, IWC Top Gun Doppel is on the way
