jeff g Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 OK then. Two years between watches. Finally I found the one. Skeptical of course. But after all the great reviews and photos, I bit the bullit. Man oh man is this a beautiful watch. Don't care what any of the nay sayers think. Rep compared to gen and on and on. Reviewed dozens of photos...gen and rep. This rep is as good as it gets IMO. I have the proverbial small wrist...6.75. This case and bracelet fit GREAT. Fabulous fit and finish. Dial screws fit perfectly. Great clarity. The dial is very detailed. Mr. AP might find a few flaws, but like I said...THIS rep is a winner. Check out a few of my amatureish wrist shots. Even they look good. Like diver's? Get it. Thanks to Josh for great communication and service. He has implemented a new presentation on his site. You can hardly go wrong. Ordered on 9/6..received the watch in Conus on 9/10. 4 days shipping???are you kiddin me. Yea!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Looks great. Wear that one well. I am guessing the screws look so good is that they have put in a thin rubber gasket.shim in the bottom of each top bezel screw hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaifender Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Beauty. Some people have said that they had issues with the second crown at 10. What are your thoughts on it? wondering the same thing. I've heard stories of this breaking on several member's diver. I've been told to be VERY careful when turning the inner bezel. When my watch arrives, I think I'll try it once, to see it work.. then never use it again out of fear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiker01 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Congrats! Now you need the AR and ReLume treatment! Get a GEN rubber strap, have it pressure tested to 10ATM and you have a 99% Diver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 No need to pm me for the dealer, got it from Josh. Unreal service and communication. Better than ever. He has established a new presentation format that is the best I have seen in the seven years I have been dealing on this forum. I am a diver watch guy. I would love it if someone would rep the New 50 Fathoms, that being said, the AP is the best quality rep of all the other divers I currently own.

corpsman Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 It sure does look good man. I was wondering how the fit of a AP would be on my wrist being that its just 6.5. Im gonna have to go to the mall here in singapore and sample one out before i purchase one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I see you got the watch from Josh, is that Josh at Perfect Clones? He generally offers a number of movement options, which one did you go for? I basically want to make sure I get the same watch as you from the same source as it's so good. If you dont mind what did you pay for it? Considering any more AP's?

Get the better movement, it is worth the cost. I am a huge AP fan, but for the most part I prefer the RO series as opposed to the ROO. This watch (Diver) is the exception. The 15300 would be the next choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the Sellita is slowly replacing the ETA as the "high-end" movement.. ETA is a step above Sellita and dealers are marketing Sellita as if they were magical... To me.. a Sellita is a clone of the ETA.. think of it as you may, it really is. So why not get one of the higher quality clones and pay less.. Afterall sellita is just an ETA copy my .02.

JKDDUDE Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Plaifender is right -- I have the clone movement and this watch is at least as accurate if not more than my two gen eta Seawolf's. There are some things to look out for when your diver arrives. Make sure you tighten all your screws, especially on the caseback. Two of mine came off in the first ten minutes...And be extra careful with the bezel crown -- in fact, leave that sucker alone. I look at it like chronos on an a7750 -- no reason to mess with it agreed..I LOVE my diver. have it on my wrist right now but with the ETA clones that are out right now..
