Try toro, enquired him before, think was $8 per screw.

Had the same issue.

Can someone give me his e-mail / is he a dealer / what's his website.

thanks

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm based in Europe though so that's not really ideal.

Anyway, there is some bad news.

The movement only works for a couple of seconds to a minute and then stops again.

When you give it a little shake it works again but as said just for a moment.

Does anyone have any idea idea what this could be (power reserve?) and how easy / difficult a fix this could be? Any suggestions as to who could help me on this?

Obviously I'm couting on PT in the first place to provide a solution for this matter since it's clearly faulty movement (Swiss).

Yes this was a PT order.

I've received the watch by now and it looks great; what a stunning piece!

Does anyobody have contact details for someone who can do the reluming / and possibly rebrush the bezel (preferably the same person).

Yes I have a little scratch (superficiel) in there already ...woops, so I'm just wondering what the options are to get this out.

Seems like something an experienced person could do easily.

How do you know its SWISS movement ? did Angus provide you with the movement pic? 

I want to order, but i dont know the difference between Asian  and Swiss movement looks like  *forgive my newbie question* 

i mean.. what if I bought Swiss movement, but they give me Asian movement.

Didnt get a pic on the movement no.

This is the part where you trust them

We'll see -literally- if it has the swiss movement.

Hi

Here's an extensive series of QC pics of the AP Diver V3.5 (Swiss ETA 2824-2 25J) which was ordered just recently by myself and currently being shipped. I'm sure some of you out there may find this type of information interesting when deciding wether or not it's worth the go.

Here's some of my own observations first:
:
Round one of the QC pics had a crooked 9 'o clock marker but this got fixed immediately after indicating it. Pics before and after are uploaded.

What seemed to be scratching on the upper bezel screws on round one of the qc pics wasn't visble anymore on further pics. Remains to be seen if this was just the reflection/angle or not. Secondary pictures almost certainly ruled out ay scratching.

A closer look at the inner bezels reveals some small flaws regarding the contouring of the marking

- upper straight line of the four
- 12 'o clock triangle
- 11 o clock marker

AP logo on the crown should be in a parallel line with the crown itself. Need to check upon arrival if this can be turned.

AR is ok; only a slight blueish reflection, as on GEN so I've read.

Lume: cant fully judge the brightness till I've seen it in real life, although the picture seems to indicate it's rather bright.
The filling and contouring if rather sloppy on the inner bezel markers, which means I'll probably have it relumed.

Do you know of anyone who can do both a relume and correct the contouring of the inner bezel markings?

Alright, won't keep you waiting anymore, here are the pics. Pics on the wrist will follow!

Marker corrected

Suit up!

I understand your reluctance and I have to say I haven't actually bought a watch from them yet either but I had ordered a model recently (VISA) which turned out to be be unavailable and I the refund showed in my VISA transactions within the week.

Thanks for sharing your experience, about to order one myself actually. 

Will def help me in evaluating the qc pictures.

Hope you get it back in mint condition.

Same question, but on the 3.5 model.

Does anyone know a TD that has the 3.5 in stock?

Just got informed that PT is out of stock atm.

Ordered the V3.5 myself couple of days ago.

Anybody happen to have more info regarding it's availability? Didn't say sold out on PT so figured there's stock.

No QC pics yet but I was kind of counting on the relume anyway already.

Who do you guys advise for this and what's his rate?

Thanks
