martijnp Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Hi guys, I always wanted a AP Diver in my collection and now I found one online via member 2 member sale. It's a V2 but what are the difference between the V2 and the newer models? This V2 has an Asian clone 2836-2 movement. Share your thoughts, thanks in advance!

prdubis Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 V2: best inner bezel of all, wrong font on the dial, need relume on the inner bezel V3: best case, best caseback, correct cyclop shape with blue AR, correct font on the dial, lumed inner bezel but thin font V3.5: same as before more colorless AR V4/4.1: fatter bezel font 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V2 also has the wrong date and date cutout but as above, imho the best inner bezel font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I've got a Vac Modded V2 mate and it's my first foray into AP brand.........it's stunning I'm not too worried about the tells as the relume and AR mods make it 'feel' Gen Enjoy it mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Martijn Now is the perfect time to jump into the Diver...they are cracking good reps. the V2 is still a good rep on its own but since we are all anal here....everyone wants the newest, latest, bestest...(that's not a word) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 V2 has wrong font, wrong dial markers, wrong bezel, wrong case, wrong date window, wrong strap, ...I suggest you look for a V3, V3.5, V4 or V4.1Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobster Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 A lot of v3.5s on sale these days, grab one. It's a legendary rep watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
