AP Diver V.3 SW-240 With Gen Short strap quick review

[rckh]

Dear Folks:

After a long waiting; my AP diver SW-240 knock my door this afternoon.
Spending 1 hour to swap the Gen Short straps I bought from local AD service center which cost me USD$185.............Fuxk....and tighten all the case back screws.

But I tell you that the rep one are quite different from the Gen:
~ Gen strap more soft than rep
~ Gen Mixture are MUCH MUCH deeper than rep one

Guess what? my 6.12" wrist on Gen short-strap fit on the second last hole for more comfortable.

So far, I'm satisfy my Diver. Overall it's solid, well build. SW-240 had similar feeling with ETA2824 when I wind, adjust. BUT, There're always weak side on reps...I guess the factory using a wrong size o-ring. Even I tighten all the case back screws; but the case back still have a gap between the case. Anyone have the same problem with me? Also, the lume is crap.....Like I said before I guess dealer's lume photos should expose under strong light not less than 1 hour before thet took it...:lol: But they won't bother me because I already have my booking with Ziggy on coming mid-aug for relume. Maybe I'l ask Ziggy to take a look for me. Before that; I'll enjoy it a little while!

Photos time:

Best Regards,
Raymond

Out of curiosity does the rep strap fit on your wrist?

I have slightly bigger wrists at about 6.75" but dont want to fork out the extra cashola for a gen short strap. Hoping the rep one will be fine

that's hard not to join the banter! tiny wrist indeed...
the Gen strap does look good indeed. how much were you quoted for the relume.
I have a feeling it's only worth doing on the rotating inner bezel and the hands... That would look too gross on the battons.

Yeah! And you've started using RWI when you were 4, right? :biglaugh:

Forget about that, people think that a fat-ass 8+ wrist looks better than a thinner one, and I can tell you they are f*#&¤]g wrong....

Very nice watch, I'm considering to open up my mind for anything apart PAMs and Rollies, guess this 'minimal' AP could be next

Wear it in good health!

great watch, mine is on the way for AR and relume.
Did you have any problems in getting the gen strap? Did they ask for a serial number?
I may consider to buy one.
