Niko Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 8 pages of pure .... NOTHING..... 8 pages of frustration! If only one of the dealers could give us a definitive answer on when or if the diver is released??!
permabull Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Yes from reading over on RWI it seems like Noobfactory haven't got a genuine to use as a model yet, so the release is many months away. Might as well get the current version and enjoy it with all its flaws, for the price it's still a winner IMO.

It's really my advice too....buy the actual version and enjoy it.......and if one day (if there will be one day) the ultimate will be launched i will buy it....simple.... A great watch for the bucks..

A great watch for the bucks.. Probably the way to go...One question though: Is the strap/bracelet interchangable between the diver and the Sec@12 ROO's...?
permabull Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Yes, it is - Yannou's done it (see pics above)
Yannou Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Probably the way to go...One question though: Is the strap/bracelet interchangable between the diver and the Sec@12 ROO's...? Yes that's the good news....
permabull Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Yannou - buckle width on this rubber strap is 24mm?

donerix Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Just got mine - love it - great deal - feels solid:
MADRED7 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 I did that once with the PloProf and it was a fail.....its just like spending double the money. And in the end none will buy my used 1st version....my 0.02$ Theo
permabull Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 If Guru's buying this version, that says a lot. My one is on it's way Will go straight for AR and waterproofing. Looks like they fixed the "Roya" Oak caseback and the datewheel color now. Donerix - does yours have the updated caseback? (you mentioned it's from Robert- the 21j version?)
Polynomial Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 I'll wait will they replace round cyclop with a square one and make the basel-lock crown bigger. A 1:1 version will never happen as they will not produce a correct case, the one they are using is the same for all ROO models, correct for the chronos but wrong for the diver -- diver's case is slightly wider (about 1.5mm), and not as tick. So they would need to produce a whole new case for the diver rep, which seems to me unlikely... Would love to be proven wrong though.

You point out the key points of diver rep v1 that need to be fix first.
vadaviaiciap Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 well done Donerix ! I love your pics, congrats bro !
rogerwine Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Got mine too. Absolutely no complaints and a great "good looking beater". Smaller then I am used to, but to good looking to not wear. rogerwine
MADRED7 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Cool pics....looks so gen. This V1 is no updated with a black datewindow....still round and wrong anyway. Theo

redmill Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 looks impressive and its affordable Agreed! Very nice.
permabull Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Ask one of the trusted dealers for photos of the newer version A2836 watch's caseback. These watches have the updated datewheel and caseback with the corrected "Royal Oak" spelling. My QC pics showed the correct caseback too. I haven't found any info on a correct caseback. Any additional info on this?
tutima Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Can you share those QC pics...? Much appreciated... Was going to order but fear of the local postal strike may screw up the delivery...
