big pilot v3

[dirk]

hi , I have been looking at photos of the v3 and compairing them to ones of the genuine one, it does not seem far of to my eyes , but i might need glasses .

can any one tell me how far off is it

I have the v1 noisy movement , strap looks good but isn't . The photo of lanikai's distressed strap is temping me to get one .

please state the differences , about the power reserve don't just say its s**t .

thanks .

i dont see any difference between v2 and v3? they both have a sucky datewindow?

the datewindow is mich more important than the PR indicator, if you ask me!

there will be a updated version of the 5004 but it has not been released as of yet.. should be by the same Maker as the 5002 .. I'm waiting on that one fo sure..

I got the version 1 and I am more than happy with it....only thing to change is the plastic-strap that looks nice from first glance but if you take it off, you

Mate...I thought the V1 was visually identical to the gen (other than the recessed DW). What is the issue with the PR indicator?

It doesn't work.

All the hands are set the same.

I have changed mine to the maximum power.

Thanks.....that's what I thought. PR on max is ok since it will stay there if you are wearing it and unlikely that anyone will ever see it move.

Am planning to get one for myself.

How hard is it to change the power reserve? Simple as taking off the back, removing the movement, resetting it? Forgive me, I've never done it. Never modded, never removed the back of any but my short-lived AP Royal Oak. I know, I know, I've been here a few years and not even done the simplest things. (Please go easy on me).

OK, maybe not_THAT_easy.

is there a comparison between the 3 versions around here in this forum? I read some posts about the wrong position of date window in "v2", and that's it?
