Don't mention it. No wisdom manifested. Purely info sharing. Final advice: go with what you really like. :)
For now I'm finishing up my PAMs because my wife can't tell them apart. So it's safe to get a few more LOL.

Next AP will probably be FC 44. I learned VAC is conus so that puts me at ease regarding sevicing and modding.

Yes. Vac is a good modder. Not sure his location though. And my next advice is a bit different from the others': consider to send the AP to service it only if an issue happens.

Alignment looks pretty good on that diver but you may want to ask for a straight on photo of the dial just in case.

My buddy recently ordered a rg 15400 and I asked him to pick up a red rubber strap for my diver as well. A little color will be nice for the summer time!

Haha thanks for the observation. I already confirmed the piece, just wanted to share with y'all . In hindsight, I agree that should ask for a straight on photo though. Hope everything will turn out fine. I saw somewhere someone had a red strap on a ss diver. Beautiful! Where can I get one?

Funny you should ask! I had my friend tack one on from his order at pure time. But you may want to check with supporting dealer lion city watches. They quoted me $50 shipped for a spare strap which is a good price considering pure time would charge 25-35 just for shipping.

Well as I alluded to earlier in the thread, I ended up getting my second AP pretty quickly. Noob panda 44mm, currently on white strap but awaiting black and gray straps in the mail.

the watch is amazing. Pictures wont capture the fine details (v7 JF). I will get the oem strap soon. I read the forum and this one has great reviews. My wrist is 7.75 and the strap fits well.

I wouldn't bother with an OEM rubber strap. Chances are it won't fit as tightly as the rep strap, and the rep AP rubber strap quality is plenty good enough. Rep leather is a different story though.
