Why the discrepancy?
Is one a replica?
Is it the exposure of the photograph?

 

[coopster9]

if both are gen, why wouldnt anyone buy a V4 or V4.1

i see a little of the 2 versions in both, left crown guard, hour marker, spacing between 5 and 0, date font...

and those damn bezel screws, AP cant even get them right!!!

lighting, angle, distance,

the 2nd one the triangle @12 is not right. the lume @50 is too bold.

i have gen AP, im not really 100% satisfied with the quality inner dial and lume, i suspect rolex have better quality.

I'm not an AP expert at all, but these would not qualify in some of the QC picture threads here on RWI :hehehe:

BTW, my first generation AP diver modded by fine_dd looked much better in terms of lume application:facepalm:

 

[nlnlnlnene]

Maybe it's not a gen? It's pretty bad.

I've said this before, some of the genuine divers have thinner bezel numbers too. I saw one in an AD recently and the numbers were no way as thick as the first pic here.

having gen doesnt mean satisfaction for 100%

even the gen ap diver, people criticize it

 

[P4GTR]

They look fine. Some of you have flown the coop! :lol:

Spending usd 10k+ on something like this..... NO WAY!!!!

 

[kulubot]

I'm sooo happy with my 4.1! Just saved $12k+.:woot:

when i see the OP picture i have to say that Ap itself is not consistent with the lume.

"to break the rules you must first master them?"

master? LOL

if the same diver ss still have different lume, perhaps they still need to go to school.

they are not as "geek" as us! LOL

to add another gen picture. i know they are different model, but it seems funny, the 3 diver have different design of the lume. is this what they want?

Yes. if i would spend that money, i would stick to rolex gold next time.

Hmm where did you get that pic?
That's pretty interesting.
Is it definitely gen?

ah i found the pic on TRF.

I think the difference could be the lighting and the motion blur on the ceramic watch.
