AP Royal Oak Diver

[sirdiesel]

I have some expert questions to ask

I would like to add the back case (see through) of the AP Royal Oak Diver TITANIUM to a AP Royal Oak Diver v5

 

will it be compatible and who (what TD) would be able to sell a back case seperatly do you think?

 

Thanks! really looking forward to this!

Why would you do such a thing? I don't think the rep SS Diver's movement was refurbished to be displayed....just my en-educated opinion!

the v5 movement is looking sweet for your info heres a pic

what would you think hiker?

agreed... why would you do that...... you will have a see through cover with a metal colour that doesn't match....... and will shout.... my watch is an abomination made of surpless parts

you guys mean the mix of the titanium on the back plate with the SS? i personally see a lot of mixed materials on lots of watches.. exemple most of the ap's montoya etc are half carbon half metals..

and in the worst case cenario ill still have the original back plate

The AP's come out the factory like that with different ,materials.....

For me it's about as getting as close to gen as possible......

 

I do agree that it is about doing what you want and like though.... and you can always go back...

The movement is so nicely done it deserves to be seen. If You manage to get the caseback just do it, it will give You something original to look at and to show. You can change it back anytime, so I don´t see a problem at all.  Wish You luck.

Thank you thats very nice of you

i have a big thing for movement parts.. so i enjoy just as much taking my watch off in the day and staring at the movement in action as admiring the finess and finish of a great looking watch that comes very close to a gen resemblance.

and indeed if anything doesnt work out.. can always put the backcase original.. its not like im gonna drill holes!

 

Cheers

hope i can post pictures before 2020

Ive always wondered why AP doesn't display the movement. I have a thing for admiring the movement as well. Plus the v5 movement is a beauty.

If you do get this done or even try to, please share your experience.
