rckh Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Dear Folks: After a long waiting; my AP diver SW-240 knock my door this afternoon. Spending 1 hour to swap the Gen Short straps I bought from local AD service center which cost me USD$185.............Fuxk....and tighten all the case back screws. But I tell you that the rep one are quite different from the Gen: ~ Gen strap more soft than rep ~ Gen Mixture are MUCH MUCH deeper than rep one Guess what? my 6.12" wrist on Gen short-strap fit on the second last hole for more comfortable. So far, I'm satisfy my Diver. Overall it's solid, well build. SW-240 had similar feeling with ETA2824 when I wind, adjust. BUT, There're always weak side on reps...I guess the factory using a wrong size o-ring. Even I tighten all the case back screws; but the case back still have a gap between the case. Anyone have the same problem with me? Also, the lume is crap.....Like I said before I guess dealer's lume photos should expose under strong light not less than 1 hour before thet took it... But they won't bother me because I already have my booking with The Zigmeister on coming mid-aug for relume. Maybe I'l ask The Zigmeister to take a look for me. Before that; I'll enjoy it a little while! Photos time: Best Regards, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Awesome beauty, Raymond! Wear her well! Ermmm.. I seem to think you also have the gen, no? Sent from my SGS II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Looking at your pics I would almost say the strap is the biggest tell of all. And I thought the rep rubber was actually quite good, but the difference in texture is obvious.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txcollector Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 There're always weak side on reps...I guess the factory using a wrong size o-ring. Even I tighten all the case back screws; but the case back still have a gap between the case. Anyone have the same problem with me? that bugs me a lot. I wonder if there's a way to fix that. Could you shoot pics of the open caseback? I wonder if there's a simple mod to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialvat Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Looking good Raymond, I may follow your lead on the strap. I just need to see how the rep one fits my wrist size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Pretty keen on one of these as my only AP and have been reading all the first impressions on the board. One request, can you point out the part you're referring to here on a pic please? ~ Gen Mixture are MUCH MUCH deeper than rep one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
