Dreamer Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 What do you guys think? http://pureti.me/product/royal-oak-offshore-diver-11-v51-noob-best-edition-on-rubber-strap/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I am under the impression that there was a v5.1 before.. hmmm. Anyway, the bezel numbers do look very good, yes sir. Decorated rotor is a nice touch, but hey, its a closed caseback Overall, it is becoming quite hard to distinguish the rep diver from the gen, and yes I would buy this if I am looking for a very good diver rep. I am not sure if the "A2824 movement" refers to the A2824 seagull movement, but I think the seagull movement is underrated, and performs like a champion in terms of timekeeping and power reserve. Go for it I say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The thing is I just ordered the V5 from intime, waiting on qc pics, and I just saw this. Should I cancel my V5 order and order this V5.1...what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely.. please cancel the V5, there is no point holding a ruby in hand while thinking about the diamond you could have bought in its place.

Dreamer Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well, I also ordered a Safari from him and some screws for my RBII that I bought from him a few weeks ago, so I would consider myself a good customer. Also, I haven't received my QC control pictures yet so hopefully there isn't an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosyzlak Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The Seagull equivalent to the 2824-2 is the ST2130. "A2824" refers to any Asian/Chinese clone of the original ETA2824 or 2824-2 design. Not sure if it necessarily means you'll get a Seagull ST2130, because other companies like Hangzhou, etc. make A2824's I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how much does VAC charge for all of that please? Does he AR the rep Xtal or does he have his own sapphires? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordanf1 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Vac has the best sapphires , oem band I bought myself , the entire vac parts and watch was about 1350 usd then my parts but a gen is 17k so I'm still in front Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnp Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I love the AP Diver for a long long time, and the reps are getting so close to gen that I need to put this one up on my wishlist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that low beat is what raises the price up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sputim Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Haha lemon yeah I know but the ss version is for me to close to the hub v6 ss/ss I have.. what do you experts think of the bezel screws of the v5.1 btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freestone Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Well, yesterday I was about to pull the trigger for a AP Diver V5 from Ryan (InTime). Then I found threads regarding the new Noob V5.1 and now I am damned unsure. Should I better go after that V5.1 from Puretime??? Can anybody tell me the differences? Thanks in advance and best regards! The lume on the inner bezel doesn't seem to be very good: replicawatchvideo.com/ap2014021101-video_50f831244.html Edited February 13, 2014 by freestone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
