browngo1 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Andrew tells me I'll have mine by the end of the month. Not sure if I believe him, but I really don't have a choice. ::: waiting sux ::: You're not wrong! I ordered on 30th April from Joshua and I've been checking my email 2 or 3 times a day for the past couple of weeks, hoping for some QC pics.

martijnp Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Awesome piece! Wear it in good health Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Very impressive looking, wear it well. I would want one, although I'm not drawn to the yellow and although I have not had a chance to read the specs yet, obviously it isn't waterproof. Anyone else find it weird have a diving watch that can't go in the water? Am I crazy? I suppose I have not been following the development of this piece closely enough: why is it obviously not waterproof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiker01 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 If this model is not water resistant at least for swimming, then it's a major Phuck up....for me at least. I just hate it when the Model says "Diver" and then you have to take it off when you take a shower koz it's not water resistant....duh! If it's a "Diver", then I should at least swim with it.....this particular model looks awesome and the maker and dealer spent so much time and effort trying to make it as close to the GEN as possible, and market it as "1 on 1", but in the process forgot the real purpose of the watch, that just doesn't make sense to me. I really want to buy this model, but no water resistance is a major deal breaker for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam1977 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Nice! The only flaw is that the white color on the inner bezels are not white but has a tint of yellow. But other than that, it looks great! I think that is just the picture. Others I have seen are pure white there. Of course, it could just be this particular watch...

jeruksaring@live.com Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 stunning watch. Just wondering on the quality of the FC. can people tell by the naked eye that its a rep by looking at the FC case? thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam1977 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I think that the watch can pass for gen at arms length. Just dont take it off and hand it to someone. The case back is a give a way, but probably only if theybhave seen the real thing before. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2 I have seen this (or probably one of the later versions) on the wrist of an acquaintance. I thought it was genuine and asked the wearer how much he bought it for. He grinned and very openly told me that it was a rep, but its something he could pass off as gen on the wrist even at any AP boutique, similar to what you said.

Anyway, I really do think the AP Diver V5 deserves the accolade of "AP rep of the year 2013". I do not own one yet but I am seriously considering it. The yellow color on the dial is what put me off. I don't like yellow on me in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has since grown on me, and I wear it more than any other I own. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam1977 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 And would you say the hype is true? Which version is yours please? Thank you kindly Its a solid watch. I love it. Mine is the newest one available from trusty time. I am guessing its the H Factory version? I have not opened the back to check for that nice golden rotor that would indicate v3. I bought it in a m2m sale a few weeks ago. Not problems with mine so far. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
