Love this watch.

Looks great.

Just wondering why you went with the noob?

I'm looking to buy one but I'm not sure which version is better.

Wow, great looking watch.

I would love to buy this watch buy I already have 2 versions of the diver and I don't think I could pull off a gen of this watch with the car I'm driving at the moment. 

But I'm very tempted.

how big is your wrist?

Interesting.

The 127 just moved up to the top of my buy list.

looks better than my QC photos that I accepted.

I've heard both good and bad experiences with the modified movement.

I just don't want to take a chance on a $500 watch though.

This is really a great looking watch.

I wish they had a metal bracelet option.

If so I would love to get one of these bad boys.

That looks sweet!

Looks good to me.

The ICHS is a minor flaw that's really that noticeable in real life.

Hell I use to have a GEN GMTIIc and I never noticed it let alone even knew what it was.

Awesome!, Thanks edgematic!

While I wait for the Diver v3 or v4 to be released, I have been looking at alternative AP's and I noticed this new one.

I'm fairly new to AP's and I do not know the tells on this watch.

So I thought I would ask you guys to see how this new model is compared to the Gen.

Thoughts?

I'm a little confused with your GEN strap, it's suppose to have a continous flow on the end of the fluted side.......here's mine next to the rep (on the inside):

Gen on the left without the buckle:

Gen on top:

Gen on the bottom:

I hope you don't mind me posting these.

So on the GEN straps the grooves are continuous?

Then the OP's straps are ?

Jesus we seem to be heading into a replica drought on noob items lately, I know things have been tough for a while there but surely they have gotten their act together (or at least should) soon enough? What's going on with them lately?

It seems like the Noob factory is only running partially as the flow of watches seemed to be trickling.

Hope its only temporarily as Xmas season is starting up, there should be more products to buy.

I wanna be in the FIGHT MOVEMENT CLUB

both look great!

I'm warming up to the 243.

Which is better? Noob or H fac thats the question.

Wow, gorgeous stuff!

Can you tell us what straps are on your Pams?

I'm trying to decide on this watch or the AP Diver V3.

Going back and forth and can't decide......

For people that own this watch, did you seal the watch for water resistance?

Is it needed on this watch?

thanks for a great review.

I'm curous as to how long these are back ordered for.

I sent both Angus and Toro a message but they just give a back ordered message and do not give me an ETA on when the next batch would be in.

For those that have back ordered, how long have you been waiting?

Here's what Andrew wrote to me:

"No stocks on the AP diver and I advise you to wait for an ultimate version which will be out soon"

I wonder if there is any truth to this or if it is some kind of deterrent so that people would not order the current model due to Andrew not having access to it.

wow, almost 2 month wait?

Imagine how much money they are holding for all the preorders.

Imagine if they take off, we would all be F'ed!

Thanks for the info edgematic!

Is the rubber the same as the one on the new diver v3?

Also, how is the steel REP bracelet?

I was thinking about getting both.

I'm looking into this watch as well.

Is this the same one from Angus?

or is there a better one out there?

Thanks

OP,

what is your wrist size? I hope its smaller than 6.75 inches, otherwise I will have to do the same and get a Gen strap.
