Got a question for the AP experts here. I just got a practically brand new V7 diver M2M on another forum. I have a V5 that has some mods, and I had planned to mod it further, but now that will shift to the V7. What I plan, is to replace the crystal with one of guru's single side AR, and drop in a Powermatic 80 movement. What else should I plan? How is the cyclops AR on the V7? Both my FC and V5 have weak cyclops AR. Also, how is the lume in the V7? Good enough to go with or is a relume necessary as well.
Thanks

I can assure you all, Vac says hes does the Jewel mod as ive got his emails somewhere stating it, but its debatable if its even done......ive not used vac in over a year, What Mr A does is by far superior.

@Daytona1984 Bro tremendous Build mate ! Well done to you and DOMI !

Hey bro
As long as you are sincere and genuine and don't bring any of that "G-up" stuff down here, you know that you are more than welcome, being the otherwise gentlemanly guy you are.
I think that owning x number of gens, or belonging to y number of gen forums here, or driving any brand of car, or being the owner of any mythical status credit card here, has zero bearing on the respect that we would gain. I know of a very senior member of the community here, who lives among the polar bears, who has a sizeable fortune in his watch collection, but yet embodies the epitome of humility and down-to earth family values. I know of another here, who lives in Indonesia, son of a mining tycoon, bathes in money daily, and humble as a peasant in the bread line queue.
In this community, we gain respect and trust by being respectful and trustworthy, by helping others less fortunate or less abled than ourselves, and by sharing our knowledge and resources. A guy like this, driving a 20 year old beat up toyota, will be more respected than the [censored] in that spanking new Porsche, who goes around showing off his car and doing nothing very much else.
I know that you are essentially a good guy. But you need to come to understand that true respect is not built on visible material possessions. I have long ceased to be impressed by, or envious of the guy stepping out of his Ferrari. That is his life, and I have mine.
and once again my Singaporean Brother, you convert me ! lol i think in my world of crushing bad people in Courts on an almost weekly basis ive been tainted by things ! but thats for another chat on another platform bro cheers and put a shrimp on the Barbie !

Brother I never insinuated I own a Ferrari can't afford one and not for me even if I could.
Fwiw my kids are my status you know that already from off here.

JordanF1,
Whether you own gens or not has absolutely zero bearing on what beachcomber said.
You can own 100 gens and still act like a [censored] to others. You can belong to 1000 gen forums and still look like an ass.
I have told you before, don't bring your "G-up game" here bro. I will not give you one ounce more respect simply because you own gens.
I will still shoot you down like a clay pigeon, a genuine $100k watch on your wrist, a condescending smirk on your face and all.
There was no need to mention about your gens. That was being extraneous, contentious and defensive.
Remember the thread you started before, where @martijn, @daytona1984 and I were also part of? So please mate, tone it down.
I do not care how many gens you own (or how many you don't own). Respect has to be maintained. And even if you REALLY want to play your G-up game and post your "gens" and "ferraris" in here, you know how quickly you would be taken apart, if the pics do not tell true stories.
Beachcomber was simply making a point about being inclusive (though yes you did bring up valid facts) as a member of the forum but it is important for the newbie to understand why it could be harder for him to buy a watch like this, rather than giving him the feeling that he was being stomped on.
So I ask you once more, REFRAIN from trying to impress or put others down with stuff you do not have mate. Even if you own $1million worth of gens, stay in a castle served by 100 butlers, and commute daily in an aircraft to the office, I will still not hesitate to bring you down to size if you show me any disrespect. So whether you own gens or not, or belong to any "GEN forums (why the CAPS?)" or not, it is irrelevant in the discussion. Keep it as your personal knowledge.
Yep ill remember when im on holidays not to post pics of Red Ferrari's in a Shopping mall that was for a Raffle for the Deaf and Dumb society to raise funds

Why would you make this comment, I think that this Mr. Z can speak for himself. This attitude that you have to know some cousin of a cousin and recite the secret password to make a purchase is ridiculous. You have new member who truly want to be part of a forum and you make them feel really unwelcome with this attitude.

When I first joined here I never just piped up and said I want one , I learnt my way around AP as much as I could for months before I even asked if I could by such a peice, and yes I have Gens Ap and Rolex, but i gained the trust and respect from very long established members, there is no password and no secret club but I can assure you these kind of peices are in general offered to those members first not someone who has been a member for a week and with little or no feedback.
And the same generally goes for some of the GEN forums I belong too.
Apologies if any offence was taken

Kick a man while he is already down! If anyone ends wanting to sell one of these let me know. Thanks in advance!
bro, unless your an established member with alot of Feedback and Knowledge, i would highly doubt that you will get a look in, Mr Z has spend alot on these and i doubt he would just sell one to just anyone. Sorry Champ keep looking bro......
