Pretty bang on I must say. Not a lot of things to improve from here
bezel yellow still looks off to me on the rep.
hour hand white looks different to me too..
no reason not to buy these though

Yeah those could be lighting issues I guess.
Without the gen in hand it's difficult to say

There's fussy, there's nitpicking, and then there's full on anal retentive! :lolcina:
The watch looks amazing, the video does it better service than the pics do, it doesn't and won't get any better than this

You can clearly see it here

I know it's a rep and not a gen, but it still suck when you can spot a rep in 2 sec. With this flaw, you can clearly tells without having a gen right next to it.
Plus, i spoke with a friend of a friend who work at Audemars Piguet in New York, and he know a lot about rep, and he told me that the best way to spot a fake Diver quickly is to look at the 5 and 0. That's why it would be cool to have a factory who fixed this flaw and put more difficulties for experts, especially on little details like that
This is the gen :
When you see that the 5 and 0 are not almost stuck to each other, it's automatically a rep.
When you look at the rep : http://pureti.me/published/publicda.../SC/products_pictures/AP2013101101-02_enl.JPG
you can see the little space that is not on the gen.
The guy who work at audemars piguet told me that right now, it's the first thing to look at to see if a Diver is a gen or a rep. That's why somebody need to fix that asap!!! lol
Plus, i'm not talking about the fact that the bezel number are still too thin on this new Diver rep.

Good observation
Think a modder can fix this?
the 50-problem is very easy to fix.....dont go with your rep diver in to a audemars piguet store :hehehe:
Haha. Would u buy this one for 24k?
I prefer watches from pp, vc and lange for real high end stuff.
For the 50 issue.. hmm I bet 1 out 100,000 people in my country will know this.
I dont actually find this an issue as compared to the obvious date cyclops flaw in all AP ROO.
3% of the Gen price for a 95% accuracy. Wow.

1- Most of you live in places where AP is unknown
2- Contrary to Mr Drew, AP on 57 the is polluted with morons. I was there a couple of weeks ago. Very disappointing.
3- Unless your eyes are those of a super hero, you'll never be able to see these flaws under normal eye length.
So Mr Drew. Tell your buddy that next time he comments on my Bentley,it will cost him his job. If it wasn't him, spread the word. The dopey constriction walls are no excuse.

One more thing. If that slight round in the number bothers you , go buy a GEN. That round inner circle is soooo worth $29k
Agree with u guys that 50 is a small issue.
I bought the FC diver (h fac and the v3) and I think the reps look fantastic.
V4.1 is fantastic as well.
I'm sure none of us really needs to correct these minute flaws for anything other than selling them as gens or wearing it to an AD.
None of your acquaintances trying on your watch, which is of course also a rare occurrence, will ever know.
If you happen to meet someone who has the same exact watch and wearing one, I suppose it could be problematic.
But the chance of this happening for a small production watch like this at a place other than an AP sponsored event is slim to none.
With that said, I think the game of spotting the flaw is somewhat entertaining though
Personally I find it satisfying when I am wearing. Rep that I know is visually indistinguishable on the wrist from a gen even when I'm by myself.
