Personally, I don't like display backs on Divers. If a dive watch is a "Dive watch", then it's by my definition a tool watch. Dive watches have had closed backs primarily for one reason, it's safer from a water ingress standpoint. Of course, the AP diver is a diver, but it's not a "Dive watch" nobody except someone who is super rich is going to take a 15K+ watch 60 feet underwater. First because diving is hard on a watch, if you're in areas with lots of coral, it's inevitable that you are going to bang or scrape on coral heads, second getting back on a dive boat especially if the seas are a little rough is like trying to ride a mechanical bull at the state fair!! I have banged my watch, camera, dive computer on the steps or rails of dive boats plenty of times, just trying to get on the boat. All of the above is the main reason professional divers wear relatively inexpensive tough watches. I believe the primary reason AP went to the display back on Divers was to foil the rep makers, another exercise in futility. I believe that they are alarmed by the accuracy of the high end reps, and mistakenly believe that this will make it impossible to rep the divers. Sort of like Rolex using the etched coronet on the crystal and the Rolex, Rolex, Rolex engraving on the rehaut. Stopped those nasty fakers in their tracks didn't it? I think I'll just keep my V7

Hi guys, hope you are well.

I wanted to share what I found the other day. A friend of a friend had this project that he has been collecting parts for over the years, he decided to give up and sell it to me! Actually it was a trade for my gmt ii c and a little extra cash. let me present to you the parts collected so far.. he did a good job except the gilt dial is in not so perfect condition, and it's really supposed to be a swiss only gilt dial for such an early piece. Not sure if I will keep it or try to find a swiss..

Off to the City with the family, struggling not to wear the 604 again :-) AJ

There's only ONE reason prices have gone up. Because we keep buying! There's only ONE way to reverse the trend. Keep your money in your wallet.

Thanks, all gen Awesome, making your own dials must be extremely satisfying! looking good

Can you have too many? I don't think so....

Unbelievably gorgeous, can't wait to see this on your wrist. The dial is amazing! I also love the fade on that insert. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
