eunomians Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Here's my lovely AP Diver with AR'd crystal, AR'd date magnifier, dial+hands+bezel relume and water-proofing. The mods were done by Caruwe and his work is impeccable. The relume is so well executed that it looks OEM factory! I added a Survivor rubber strap to the watch just to switch it up a little from the plain rubber strap that comes with the watch. The Diver buckle fits the large 24mm end of the Survivor strap perfectly. So, for the record, the Survivor strap and the AP Diver strap are the same sizes. Look carefully at my pics and you'll see the incredible AR on the crystal and date cyclops. Sometimes I look at my watch when wearing it and it looks like there's no crystal on it at all! And also note the insane relume work on the dial markers, hands and rotating bezel ring. Uwe's work is highly recommended! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronoluvvv Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'm somewhat surprised you managed to fit a Survivor's strap to the Diver's case reason being I've tried fitting a couple of ROO APBands to my Survivor and it didn't work ...

squashlovernk Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Actually the Survivor and Diver strap specs are EXACTLY the same. 28mm at the watch end and 24mm at the buckle end. When I have some time I will do a comparison of a GEN Survivor hornback with an AP Bands hornback to show the difference.

guru Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Very nice, my Vac diver should be here today! The AR coating that Vac is now using looks identical to Uwe's - very strong and durable, slight hint of amber at certain angles. The hex screws come with gaskets. Perhaps Uwe just removed the gaskets to sink them ? Edited November 25, 2011 by guru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Uwe just removed the gaskets to sink them ? No he didn't. The watch was also waterproof-tested Maybe he cut the length of the screws a little?

Fleet Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Nice watch. Im actually thinking of getting a Diver, and use it as a "daily beater". Getting it waterproofed etc, and then having it as a everyday watch witch I can go swim in, do some harder work etc. This seems to be the perfect deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 is there anyone in the US that offers AR for the cyclops? Got the details sorted out. If there's enough interest to get at least 12 or so done at once, we can do it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
