caracarnj Posted August 8, 2011 Report Posted August 8, 2011 Ubi, thanks for the nice pics! I have made up my mind!
PPN Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Been wearing my Chronopassion at least once a day, and have not exactly been gentle with it; swimming, showers, daily life, kids, etc. Mrs Ubi smacked her watch against it the other day when she went to hold my hand, and it's not picked up any dings, dents or scratches. It's a lot more durable than the V2, methinks. Swimming? So it is fully water resistant rated? This would be the first rep I've heard of that one can really go swimming with. But then again, I'm pretty new to all of this...
PPN Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 V3 is exactly as I stated above- The finish is indeed more durable; whether that is a result of a different method of media blasting, or the fact that the finish was applied to a bare case instead of one that had been brushed prior (V2) is difficult to ascertain. But those are (from what I have come to understand) the differences in cases and case finishes. Again, the easy way to tell the difference is to look at the edge of the crown guard. V3 has a chamfer/bevel on the edge that is polished; V2 has the bevel, but it is media blasted like the rest of the case... Ubi, you're obviously very knowledgeable on the model. Would it be possible to include a picture of what you mean exactly on the crown guards? I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Thanks.
hiker01 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 I used my Safari V1 diving to 60ft awhile back and wore it for 30+ days without it losing time. Sold that one and now I have the white rubber clad, Navy, Orchard Road and the Tour Auto on the way!

I am looking at old posts regarding AP roos and customizing them as I just purchased a V1 chrono. I wanted to know if you did anything to the watch before diving to 60ft. Thanks in advance.
