freestone Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 It seems that I going to get AP-Rep-addicted ... I have to stop buying now! But if I think it over, I need a 15400 and 15300, too ... Today my new FC Diver arrived and I want to thank lacour180 for the perfect and fast transaction. It is a great watch and I like it very much. I didn´t know if I like the carbon case very much but it is really nice in addition to my s/s Divers. I could be perfect for some further modding, but it is also very stunning as it is. Best regards to you all and have a nice weekend!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestone Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 A short addition: I took the pics immediately after the watch arrived. I did not wind it up and did not set the date. After I did this the date is perfectly centered. On my pictures you can see the top of the next day (the "1" of "17"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Very nice. I believe that you will enjoy the FC, it's lighter than the S/S diver, and seems to wear very well. Mine is in the Recovery room after getting a heart transplant, will be back home soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'm curious, isn't this the one that he traded out the movement and replaced it with an ETA 2824? Wonder why? The Seagull ST 2130 is a very good movement, on a par with the ETA's, certainly the lower grade ones. Just wondering?

freestone Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Hi Panerai153, that's funny - I thought the same and asked him just the same question before buying it. ;-) He replaced it by a TC 2824 clone, not with a gen 2824. He didn't like that noisy rotor and rough winding. The TC movement was equipped with the datewheel and the "AP"-rotor from the seagull then. It winds indeed very smooth and the rotor is quiet. Why did yours need a heart transplantation? Did you a low-beat mod? Best regards! Edited March 15, 2014 by freestone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yes Mine is getting the slow beat conversion. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
