Watchmeister Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Just received my Diver 4000 from Joshua. And I have to say that it is a stunning rep. It is also very large. To give you some sense I have a 7.5" wrist. It is a gorgeous watch but it isn't fitting under any shirt. Here are the pics: I am amazed at the quality of the rep. The aesthetics are fantastic. I can't shoot lume pics but the lume is even and strong (unlike the original prototype pics). The movement has also been keeping COSC time for the last two days and the second hand is not suffering from the typical A7750 stutter. The one thing I found of note is that the weight seems to be substantially more than the gen. I can't figure out why as the case is made of titanium like the gen. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the case back is made of steel. But who knows? In any case it is my first rep in a while and I am very happy with the outcome.

Logan Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 The weight difference will be the inner case. Like all Big Bangs the genuine is titanium but the reps always use steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 The weight difference will be the inner case. Like all Big Bangs the genuine is titanium but the reps always use steel. Thanks. In this case it makes a fairly big difference. The watch still sits on the wrist as nicely as the gen but the weight is significantly higher. Live and learn.

Watchmeister Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thanks guys. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the rep. I tried the gen on and really liked it as a weekend wearer. And that is what it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asf Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Very nice W! That diver has always been a curious purchase for me. Looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Very nice W! That diver has always been a curious purchase for me. Looks awesome! Same with me. I have always made random purchases of reps of watches i know I wouldn't normally own - Ploprof, Graham, etc. This is my favorite of the "unwearable" watches. It is more wearable than those. But it is also ridiculously heavy. I have to admit that having tried the gen it is kind of throwing me off. But it is a gorgeous rep. In truth I would buy it again if they ever made the entire watch out of ti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolonusTM Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Do we know the weight of the GEN? Rep weights approx. 212 grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Why A7750 in these watches i dont understand. It only has time and date function I believe it is due to the position of the date wheel? There is a a21j version of this watch too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perry563 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 It's an incredible rep. But.......not a very pretty watch. I wear it from time to time but find that it's just not overly inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
