Donerix 2.0 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 First of all a big thanks to Neckyzips and also VAC who made this possible. When I saw a picture of a DLC-coated Diver I knew I had to have one. Neckyzips offered to inlcude the watch in his DLC run and in the meantime I sent the dial, hands (which were replaced in the end) and crystal to VAC for his AR and lume treatment. While waiting for everything to come together (it took a few months) I made several straps in anticipation, but in the end the black nubuk croc easily outdid all other options with the shark coming in a close second. Take a look and let me know what you think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I like it! Nice strap as well! I already read on the boards a post that you had this in the works, after seeing it I kind alike it. One thing I notice is that the bezel isn't placed correctly, the brushes are not aligned to the brushes on the case, it needs a turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panermaniac Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 You're right, that nubuk suits it perfectly! That AR is redonkulous! And so is the lume job! Enjoy wearing that beauty, I know I would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy this ap diver but the darn thing is to fat and to big, i wish they made them thinner and 40mm version then the [censored] would fit my wrist! I hope my black strap for the gmt will come soon, its shipped right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folex Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Wow, the lume is nice. And the numbers 20, 30, 40, 50 are fat like gen. Is this the V3? I noticed it is much fatter than the ones from the factory. Did Vac custom make that for you? Edited December 3, 2012 by folex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philwongnz Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Which version is this AP based on? The inner bezel aligned perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donerix 2.0 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's a V2 and VAC lumed it and did the AR I will try to put the shark on, but I am super busy today and it has silver-grey stitching which takes a bot away from the tactical theme.... And as we all know: strap changing on the AP D is a bi@tch .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sts1131 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi Donerix,beautiful watch wish I had PVD or DLC Could you share with us interested with modifying our straps and making our own leather straps the following information for educational purposes? The Lug width for the casing of our Diver V3 in mm The length of the straps (Shorter version for smaller wrist than Gen Strap) mm and the final buckle measurements in order to make a strap? mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mt666tm Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Looks really good, hard to tell that it's a V2. I assume you mounted the bezel on an angle on purpose as the brushing is not in line with the brushing on the case... Looks good either way. Great strap, looks like 'gummy' texture Ike a HBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
