I know it's an old post but I've just got a 2840 movement and the hands sizes are different from other 2824.
So I wonder how this was done.

First of all, sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm "studying" a lot to know more about the replica world. Does this trick still work for a V8 AP Diver with a Miyota 9015 movement?

Seems like chris has been out since dec last year. Does anyone else know if the eta 2841 or 2842 from swatch auto works as well for the ap diver?

such a nice post. I'm wondering the backcase of the AP diver, do they come with see through? or solid case?

They come with a solid caseback. Only certain models such as the royal oak come with see through back

Ap divers do come in see through caseback as well. 15703 variants has closed caseback while the newer 15710 has a see through caseback

Would you need to oil the bearings on an ap roo diver JF v9 or is the rotor sound silent out of the box?

It's only the miyota's that are noisy. The Asian eta movements are usually fine.
