I kinda feel the same. This was supposed to be the summer watch of 2013. Its basically a fall release, full of delays.
That being said, i applaud Angus' efforts and still considering picking one up!

Full pics up
Finally released after the long wait, the BEST forged carbon AP Diver in the market.
Single AR'd super clear sapphire crystal as per genuine (no or weak AR on other versions);
Double AR'd sapphire cyclops as per genuine (no or weak AR on other versions);
High quality solid titanium caseback with perfect engravings (low quality titanium or poor engraving on other versions);
High quality titanium end links and seadblasted titanium tang buckle (low quality titanium or brushed tang buckle on other versions);
High quality genuine rubber strap (silicon rubber strap is used on other versions);
Latest V5 inner bezel with correct lume color (should be white and some other versions with yellowish lume);
Best quality Seagull A2824 movement which is used on the Noob AP Diver V4.1, JLC NSD, etc (Some other versions uses lower quality Shanghai A2824 movement with stem issues)
Decorated golden color rotor as per genuine (other versions uses stock A2824 rotors)
Glossy FC pattern rather than matte on some other versions.

Looks good except the hour hand, need to leave a little room for improvement for future release I guess.
I still have the V2, which I modded.
This V3 involves a full redesign of the end-link system (now bar and cap, was formerly screw), an improved FC patterning on the case (V2 is still wavy, but perhaps more interesting), and an improved bezel ring (bigger lettering).
Angus promised me a V3 case when he released this version. Looking forward to getting it.

I would like to see this one as a fantasy black out carbon model. Black lume and all. Not colored seconds.
Taking Ephrys suggestion further, it would be nice to also black out the minute slashes on the dial.
I still think h factory carbon looks better but the bezel ring on v3 and crystal is better but not enough to make me pull out my wallet not like the 3.5 up to the v5 ss just not enough there to keep buying I have had the 4.1 in my hands and named eye not zoomed in can't really see it being a real upgrade, not knocking just educating. Bang for the buck would be h factory for me but I do want that bezel I bet it's not swappable though. Thoughts?

Its ok to just hide your feelings and secretly click the order button at pureti.me .
I personally handled the h fact diverm apart from the case which have a rather ok carbon. The AR was poor... caseback was horrible and dial wasnt as refine as the noob diver v4.1

Now why didn't those things get mentioned on previous releases, such as low-quality titanium, low-quality AR, yellowish lume, bad caseback.. Before this one came out, the latter was the cats meow.
Echoing those above.. Interest is lost on me. I'm over the AP diver, and I can't see any reason to upgrade beyond the V3 SS I've had for some time now.

There were many posts about all of these problems which prompted people to buy both v2 and hfac to create a hybrid...
I think it's a great effort by this factory worthy of praise.
Sigh.. I just got the H factory diver..
When I saw the pictures i literally jumped !
What do I do with my H factory now?
Lesson learnt here is to be patient.
Wait till The smoke clears and the winner finally emerges before taking sides.
Plus for H factory: good case pattern, cheaper
Minus: poor case back , yellowish Lume , bad ar on cyclops, low quality titanium, poor movement
Plus for noob: all the above minuses
Minus for noob: more expensive, gap between case links

Just got a message from Angus.
Looks like this V3 model is not as compatible with other models as the former one. Combing the parts of different watches is going to get more difficult now.
