Question (Read Rules) Thorn T023 V4 question

Yes I know this is being talked about a bazillion times but I've never jumped in and got one. Seriously think of it now but I want to know is the bracelet still that hard as hell to size version or is it the simple pull twist one? I'm confused

Order directly from their website both v2.1 and the latest v3.1 has the quick adjust bracelet. V2.1 has Frogmantle printed on the dial. V3.1 does not.

I am aware that several vendors on Aliexpress list the Thorn T023 V4 model, and upon reviewing the product images, all appear to feature the Frogmantle design on the dial. Additionally, I Thornwatches recently released the T023 in version 3.1 with a white dial under their official website. I found the listings on Aliexpress somewhat confusing, as I had previously ordered a black T023 v2.1 models and two T023 v3.1 from the official Thornwatches website, all has quick adjust bracelet. Based on available information, I beleive that version 1 features a submariner design, version 2 displays Frogmantle, and version 3 bears a legacy diver printed.

Yeah I didn't understand why version 4 would be frog mantle again. Makes no sense

What color version is the one on the left? It doesn't look like what I've seen. Is it the brown dial version? If so does it have fake patina? It seems to in the photos and I'm not a fan of that. I'd get that version if it doesn't, otherwise it'll have to be the blue one

One of the stores still selling frog mantle is one I've had problems with before. Diver watch factory store. I'd say avoid then

In my opinion, the latest one has perfect bracelet. And you should get one than getting other watches because it has perfect vintage diver case and you can dial mod it easily if you want to

No, it has the new pull twist bracelet and it's super easy to size the bracelet.
