Carbon diver on TrustyTime

[Watchmeister]

Great to see the watches shipping. I can't even remember when I ordered but I am very excited.

What's with the 28th as date for all the watches? Even my QC pics have 28th.

I was thinking the same thing. Everyone's QC pics have the 28th as the date.

I'm interested in what the weight of these watches is like. CF should be wicked-light.

 

Yes they are very light - I owned a V1 from PureTime.

Of course we all can't wait to see HQ shots from you guys!!

28 is auspicious number in canto, means "prosper easily".

I think the yellow at 3 goes too far past the marker.  Some QC examples are perfect, but yours would bother me.

 

 

I also ordered on the day it was released... Mine didn't arrive quite yet, but I suspect it will be tomorrow!!

 

Am I missing anything? Looks pretty awesome to me :-)

[CptTripps]

FINALLY got my QC pics today.

 

Looks good, except I'd like to see a pic of the crown. I've seen a few people complain that the crown logo is off-center. I've waited this long...may as well make sure it's right!

Got mine today too. About damn time.

[gmtlover]

anyone already tested the WR?

Finally got the watch today.

I'm pleased and disappointed at the same time.

Looks great on my wrist. The AR SUCKS so I'll need to figure something else out there. The lume is also pretty poor.

I'm going to wear it for a few days and see what to make of it.

[hiker01]

That sucks! Don't they advertise it as "Swiss Quality AR and Lume"?

[Irontomkidd]

Mine came in today too and I have to say it is the best out of the box rep I have seen. I am happy to wear it as is but that's not goi g to stop me from doing a few mods... AR, lume, gen strap, gen ETA, maybe some others but I will play with it for a while to see. I can't say enough about it definitely worth the wait.

[sergio789]

hi there, has anyone rejected FC ex Trusty or PCs lately? On what basis? Concerned that they might be recycling rejected items down the waiting queue. Thanks.

[praetor]

I ordered on 25th of august and just got my QC pics today. To answer your question whether or not it's recycled, I didn't see anything wrong with the QC pis and my caseback number is 0224

I'm with you!

 

Got mine a few days ago and love it.

 

It was £300 and not £22,000, but who is ever going to know what the minor flaws are, unless you take it into an AD?

 

I'll service it when it needs it, but I won't be doing any mods, it really is good enough as it is.

[denisegold]

I miss mine but know that when I get it back ill be happy. Low beat mvmt and AR crystal. Yea baby...

[swdivad]

Mine's ready to ship (again)... anyone care to comment?

 

For me, all the inner bezel indices seem off. which means the detente is not lined up properly and I would need to rotate it past a detente to lock it down. Does anyone else have this issue?

 

Also, there isn't so much contrast in the carbon flakes of the case... 

 

Also, the case back counterbores look like crap and the center logo/back engraving not so great.

 

Am I being too picky?

 

I sent my last one back because the bezel yellow paint was misaligned and the movement sounded like rocks. It also had the problem of the inner bezel detente misalignment as well as the low contrast carbon flakes.

[mmmazing]

Hi guys, i am new to this.  Where are you buying this watch?  trystytime?

[mmmazing]

Can you also tell me what is lume, AR and any other terms I need to know

[mmmazing]

I just got mine and it looks awesome except for the strap, which looks really cheese. The only issue I have is when I shake it a bit, it sounds like something is loose, anyone had that or is this just a movement.

[mjmj]

It's the rotor. That's normal. A good watchsmith can fix this for you.

[mmmazing]

Can I wear it this way or it needs to be fixed?

So evidently,these aren't water proof.

I broke it down when I got home. Turns out that the bezel is cracked at the nuts.

So I need to locate a new ceramic bezel. I'll grease the gaskets too. Should do the trick.

Hello,

I took a look at the case construction of the ap carbon diver. Your cracked bezel has no influence on the waterproofnes of the watch. One of the seals must be damaged or the screws haven't been tightend.

Best,

Olreon

Ouch! I hope that is due to submersion in water?
