Dave123 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well gents,i'm just going to say that i really think the Diver watches are the best value for the money in reps currently,for what they cost and what you get,there is much worse at higher prices.....these watches are as gen as they can get.....for $300 and change,a bargain.... My 3rd Diver,as impressed with the V1 in SS i had,as well as the all PVD model as i was,this new V2 tech seal model takes it up a notch..... The mix of SS and PVD is fantastic IMO,goes well together on this watch,the CF dial is just amazing,and as usual,pics don't do it justice at all....its hard to get the 3D effect you see in hand,into pics....but it is really nice..... I find on this V2 that the numbers on the bezel are improved over the V1,the lever is much more secure,rock solid actually,and the dial has lume,which aside from the hands,the V1 did not.... The AR coating job is much improved over the V1,none of that heavy blue hue you get at angles,its very clear like the Concord C1 and HBB king reps,this new 'swiss standards' AR stuff is moving on to other watches and it is really a breakthru in reps..... Caseback is fantastic,all around quality,can't pick at anything.... The word 'graham' on the buckle seems better then on the last 2 i had,as i recall...and the rubber strap is just top notch,gets no better.... Anyway to conclude,i still say these Divers are 'rep of the year' for quality,accuracy and price,want to thank Joshua once again for sending me what i expect and doing so in a few days,another great purchase....a couple wristies and i don't have any sunlight today,so my pics are not the greatest.....thanks for looking and grab one of these!!....awesome....

Dani Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 awesome watch.. i love them but think its to big for me, have is it compare to a 44mm pam Dave`? Thanks for the review. dANI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve123456789 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I had the V1 steel but had to return it for a faulty movement. Other than that that Rep was as close as you will ever get to gen. I can see this newer model is even better. I would love to see the faces on the manuafacturers of the Gen Graham when they see this one. I bet they will say : "WOW> Perhaps we should have this factory make our watches for us to save $" Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Bigger then a 44mm Pam,Dani....wears like a Super Avenger....which i like.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_r Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Would like it better without the fire hydrant bolted to the side of it.... Dial looks great, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thats an expresso machine,chinese expresso is not the greatest though....should be better in the V3?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve123456789 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I wore it to a local bar and it really started up a lot of conversations. It is comfortable and the strap is perfect. My problem was movement that had no power reserve ( 3 minutes). Other than that it is beatiful watch. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CY0811 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The can opener on the side always bothered me enough to not buy one....looks great though. I need to try one on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
