Never posted the qc. But here it is in the flesh.

officially ordered

It's the Marina Militaire. Don't know the numeral reference but easy enough to look it up.

Thanks robert. I figured that the person who posted the original pic would answer.

Let me re - phrase. I figured the person posting the pic would know the ref number. Awesome watch btw

What model is this?

No comparison between the rep and gen glidelock. But I removed the diver extwnsion link on mine for a better fit. I will hit you up if I ever sell it. Wasnt cheap.

Did you ever find that gen bracelet?

Found a gen glidelock clasp, but still looking for the bracelet. I have two different bracelets, but none of the endlinks fit right so for now I will keep it on the rubber be until I can either source a complete gen bracelet, or rep bracelet with enlinks that fit well.

Yes, and dial, hands, crystal, bracelet movement. Lol

Its a gen that was recently serviced here in Dallas by the great Bob R.

You sure its not a 111 dial with water damage? I had a 111 that took on a lityle water and the dial did that exact thing. I sold it on rwi a few months back.

My Bezel on the Black Bay seems to have way to much play in it. Is this common? Any know fixes besides Dental Floss?

Black Magic on Gen Rubber. Gen Bezel on the way...

Is the rep FC diver that much lighter than the SS?

It is a lot lighter. You can hardly tell you even have the fc on.

I just wholesaled the exact same watch with box and papers for 5k. 4.9k is really not a bad deal if the watch is in good shape.

Papers and box does not matter very much to the average dealer. Obviously the watch is no longer under warranty so papers wont do much for you.

Now to guys like us, papers & box might matter a little more, but honestly it doesnt really add much hard value to the watch.

I say buy it. Its a good investment at that price. Obviously see if you can get him down on the price a little. But I know of a hand full of dealers here in the dallas are that would give me 4.8-4.9k on that watch wothout box and papers right now.

Here is the M Serial with engraved rehaut that I just sold for 5k (the dealer I sold it to has it in his case for $6,100.00)

Maybe it's a stolen watch and the dial has a serial number on it that he was unaware of before he removed it... One explanation, or maybe it really does have a small chip

Thats a good point. I know he has used the hands from this watch to customize an FC Diver.

very cool post

I got a few better pics. I expressed the interest in buying the whole set up today, and was told while removing the dial from the case he noticed a chip in the dial. He wants to have the dial checked out before selling it now. Not sure what t make of this...

 

Here are the pics.

 

 

 

Help authenticating a Gen AP Diver Dial/Case

Hey guys, I have been given the opportunity to buy a gen dial for an AP Diver. I found it on a gen forum, but not really sure about it. It looks good, but so do rep dials, so I may pass.

I just wanted to get some feedback from ypu guys as to whether or not it is really a gen dial.

Also, if it is gen, will a modder even be able to make it work? Are the dimensions the same? Will the date wheel line up? I have never seen anyone franken a diver, so I am not sure...

Thanks in advance for any help!
