Mini Review AP ROO Diver V4

[gran]

This is the V4 Diver from new maker/chanel

 

 

Print on dial is solid

 

 

Lume of inner bezel is plentiful

 

 

 

 

crown guards is rounded to fit crown

 

 

 

 

The V4 Diver in natural light

 

 

Lume is pretty good, but Hour hand lume is too feeble.

 

Strap looks crisp with deep lettering

Clasp looks fine when strapped on

 

 

V4 Ccaseback screws and detail looks pretty good

 

V4 faults?:

 

Too short cover/crownguard over the second crown??

 

Poor finish of inner side of clasp...RUST?? at least discoloured

 

 

End links are all wrong??....+ horrible connection to strap in one case

 

 

 

Some notes on the new maker V4  (No! this is not the noob 4.1):

 

Micro Review of V4 Diver

 

Dealer: SEAD

 

Price: about 348US$

 

+ V4 Lume is reasonable good in most part. Lume on inner bezel is ok.

-Minus: Lume on Hour hand is not sufficient. Re-lume of hour hand needed

 

+ V4 Case and bezel is good in most part

-Minus: part covering/crownguard for the second crown, for rotating the inner bezel, is too short in V4

 

+V4 AP Clasp is ok on the face shown

-Minus: Rusted/discoloured appearance of markings on inne side of AP clasp

 

+ V4 Caseback and markings looks pretty good, screws recessed

 

-minus: all the end links are wrong and go into the case, should reside on the outside bezel/case (see arrow )

 

+ Bezel looks reasonable, but screws are only minimally recessed on this V4.

 

+ V4 Crystal is clear enough.Very easy to the read time even in very poor lighting conditions.

 

+V4 dial looks crisp enough

 

-Minus: V4 cyclops and date is of ridiculously poor quality (i.e too difficult to tell the date)
 

 

+ Strap has clear markings and look nice.

-Subjectively the strap feels brittle

-Minus on mine the endlink is not connected correctly on the strap and hopefully strap is not permanently damaged (se arrow)

 

Conclusion: Its ok

Gran-

Great review. All reps don't suck. I think it is a pretty stunning reproduction of a $17k piece. On the end links, no worries the gens often fit poorly as well. By the way, get that wife under control.... or perhaps I should say if you can you are a better man than I.
