I am pretty sure this fantasy Diver combination has been discussed, but never really fully built, as it presents some challenges for a watchmaker along the way. The idea is to transplant the best parts of the SS Diver into a FC case, and omit all the funky yellow components (hands, inner bezel of FC diver). There was a lot of customisation and hot-rodding along the way, which only made the final result even more expensive and arduous to assemble, but which eliminated some of the most annoying features of the Diver for me.
Ingedients:
1) FC Diver 2 mid-case (the "wavy" not the "woody" case--look at LW's Spidolite for a FC case with the same wavy patterns, giving this V2 case a kind of design pedigree). Polished, of course.
2) Swiss ETA 2824 movement, serviced by me.
3) FC Diver 2 ceramic bezel and polished bezel screws
4) Noob Diver 3.5 dial, with double-AR cyclops, and C3:C1 relume of markers, did not like the original lume
5) Noob Diver 3.5 hands, with C3:C1 re-lume, to match the dial
6) Noob Diver 3.5 DW
7) Noiob Diver inner bezel, re-lumed with C3:C1, to match the dial and the hands
8) Noob Diver 3.5 Xtal, w/ double-AR
9) polished end-links
10) gen Diver strap w/ custom DLC buckle
