Zorro, you must have used the Noob Diver dial on top of Angus/PT FC case back, am I right?
It seems the Cartel used the cheapest A..24-2 to offset the cost of the FC case. Hence the reserve issues.

i used noob dial and cyclops .. but kept it on the H-f--ked up makers movement .. and hand set but will change over to v2 angus hand set and movement ... the H-f---ked up maker movement is totally F--ing .. and need to be smashed up with a hammer like the whole watch .. if un-modded !!


from now on i will be calling the h fc diver ... lady boy makers !! josh and Andrew piece of Sh-t

Shaidx,
It CAN work.... with modification and parts swaps.
Definitely get the crystal double ARed while you are movement hunting.
Lots of fun ahead of you, shaidx.

Zorro-l, that is what I thought. You got the Noob AR on the cyclops. The cyclops AR on the other two versions is worse. I used a Swiss ETA '24-2, smooth as butter after a little servicing.

nah 400 bucks is to expensive for that hassle
I get your point, to be honest the movement is quite bad and unreliable which is meant to be an important part of the watch itself. The Forged Carbon pattern and structure are quite decent though so it looks good but it needs some modding here and there.

@ sharrkey your thoughts ?

I considered buying it, but was advised by a few not to waste my money. Good to see you speak up bud, too many peeps trying to polish a turd on this rep from the twins :popcorn:

I'm not surprised. It is a V1 watch that has never been produced.

Of course it is going to have all sorts of issues, even if the same factories are putting similar pieces from other AP Diver versions that are good into that piece. It will still never be a "good" rep the first go around. Nature of the beast.

I don't know of any V1 rep that was worth a crap ever, except WM9 pieces. But that was way different story. And even guys got hosed in the end of that operation, as so many others have also done.

little bit of back story..
first and last time i pre-ordered from someone i barely heard of on the forums.

April 24th - Day one of pre order- paid!

May 24th- promised release of FC Diver- didnt happen

June - nothing- more lies and pure bull sh*t from andrews

July- few people got their hands on the watch. Emailed him, he said
watches will be shipped according to whoever paid first. people who paid on day 1 will get QC first then day 2 and so on.

August- still nothing. waited some more. emailed him, i was asked to wait my turn. then people who paid a month after me started getting their QC at this point i was frankly pissed by the level of utter unprofessionalism by this joke of a dealer. asked for a refund, 3 days later i get the funds paypaled to me by some random dude. another "trusted" dealer WTF!

by far the worst experience iv ever had on the forums. lies after lies from this guy, at one point he gave me a tracking number saying im next in line.
that di*k isnt getting any money from me ever again, thats for sure.

anyways..

finally got my hands on this watch.
few disappointments to be honest.

-crystal seriously, SERIOUSLY sucks balls, i mean come the heck on!
-another issue is the shitty movement. its too loud, winding it makes me feel like im killing it. 21j movements sound and feel better than this. dont think they spent more than $10 each on the movement.
- the FC pattern and feel is very nice though, dial isnt as impressive as the noob dial, maybe because 90% of the time i cant see the damn dial because the crystal is just to cloudy!

out and about. no direct exposure to the sun.




light in the car at night:








need a noob dial, a good movement and AR for sure to give this awesome watch what it clearly deserves
this is the main reason i didn't bother to buy any H fact FC divers...i can pull out my pics i taken before they were even in the market. :facepalm:

I am glad I got my money back in June.....so much for the movement, they never announced on the web what kind of movement it has. I never recognized it before. Love my Gio case with Angus v2 ...it is not perfect but runs fine and looks good.

Yeah this pre-order story is a joke! I also got it after about 4 month of wait but I just sold it. I think for the money it's still a good watch compared to the more expensive woody diver and a mix of parts between them makes a really good one..

The wait killed the whole FC diver thing for me.. And a happy RWI member got mine with a much shorter wait time.
Lol i taken orders with no payments from my buyers...:D:

Our TDs certainly know this equation:
