HWG 11 Posted May 3, 2012 Ok, I need some expert eyes here. I have studied about for V2 or V3 of The Skyland. Mine has a bum movement, and needs replacing, but Rochest wants to know if its V2 or V3... I bought it used, and my eyes just dont get that detailed. Two quick iphone pics provided for assistance. I am leaning toward it being V2, but would appreciated any input. Thanks guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted May 3, 2012 should it matter what version?......methinks it will be an a7750 either way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corv99 2 Posted May 3, 2012 I've got a V3 I think, the lume dots, so I'm talked were really good but, agree with Ding, the movement should be the same. mines great, it runs in the drawer after wearing for 2 days, maybe more which I never expected! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,501 Posted May 3, 2012 "Flagpole" number 1s on the bezel means v3 normally, which your version has so I'm saying v3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HWG 11 Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks guys. @ Ding - I thought the same but apparently V2 and V3 were made at different factories, and that is why Rochest wants to know which version it is. Since I bought it second handed, I was unsure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,792 Posted May 3, 2012 Best bet might be to take some detailed pics and send them to Rochest himself to see if he is able to discern? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted May 3, 2012 don' care what version if it will have that ultra nice blue AR , it is sexi watch anyway ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,501 Posted May 3, 2012 http://www.rwgboard.com/board/index.php?showtopic=9563&view=findpost&p=150563 So, are you saying v3? I was right about the number 1s on the bezel, which makes this a v1 or v3 but with the decent looking AR and the correct lume dot at 3 I'm still thinking it's a v3.

I had to look that up, you guys seem to be right. The V2 is on the left, V3 is on the right. Is that correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HWG 11 Posted May 3, 2012 thanks guys, and thanks sconey for the link that I failed to find. I believe I have a V3 in my hands. I still dont see why Rochest would want to know the difference. IMO the same A7750 movement should drive any version. The differences are cosmetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
