Graham Chronofighter Oversize Diver Tech Seal V1 vs. V2

[zenmaster]

hi guys,

i'm looking for a good Graham replica and have my eyes on Chronofighter Oversize Diver Tech Seal and Night Ranger, which one would you guys choose and why?

Tech Seal

Night Ranger

also i noticed on puretime's website, there are two versions of Oversize Diver Tech Seal (version 1 and version 2). from the photos i cannot see any differences at all, and they seem to use the same movement. does anyone know what the differences are?

thanks for your comment and reply in advance.

nobody knows much about Graham?

i can't seem to find photos using the search function either
i guess it's not a popular brand, even for replicas!

I have a V2 Diver pvd, Imo one of the better reps ever made. Still needed a new o-ring on the trigger to be really tight, supposedly this was corrected for the V2. Not aware of any other differences vs1 or 2 other that the trigger being sloppy on it.
If you decide on one send me a pm, I have still have several seals and can send you one.

And a couple of pics of it.

I have always liked the grahams. It is a unique specimen that makes a bold statement. Bravo for taking the plunge. I will join the club soon enough.

I also have one. It feels solid and substantial. Not to many folks have even seen one and it is a real conversaton stater. The Airport security were intersted in the lever function. i like the one with the date on the dial next time.\

i have a GEN graham, and i have worn it when i went shopping at the replica market in shenzhen. they don't make replica for the particular model i have (i have a grand silverstone), but side-by-side comparison of the case and straps, they come 90% close, which in my opinion is close enough.

i'm thinking about getting rid of my GEN and just get replica (newer style) instead. from the photos and description i cannot seem to find real differences between V1 and V2, so i guess it's a wise idea to just get whichever is cheaper? mmm....

While I really like the carbon dial on the Diver I must say that it is just too busy.

I much prefer the cleanliness of the Night Ranger.
