The crown guards on all these are wrong. They should be straight instead of curved.

Email JF factory and tell them that you are upset they are releasing divers and not the RG Montoya [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

They were hurrying to release chrono divers before the summer in the summer in the northern hemisphere.
I'm not sure why they were rushing with QE2, they should hold and perfect the dials.

When it comes to JPM in RG I have feeling they are holding it for later on as it will be a hot seller :)
Nah I don't feel like writing them email ;)

Where I need to be.
Is the 7750 running sec @3 standard? If so are we no longer plagued by the sec @12 issue?

The sec at 3 has about the same reliability with the sec at 12/6. But having said that, I think the factory has taken measures to improve the reliability of the sec@12 movement recently. I guess the same measure can be implemented for this as well.

Yes, apparently the factory has taken measures upon improving the 7750 reliability with seconds hands at 6 by adding jewels to it's transfer gears.

Let's hope that the factory would implemented the same system on A7750 with seconds hands at 12 or 3.

One things on my mind though, how many IWC reps using this updated movt at current time?, because there's is no legit info neither from the factory nor the TDs bout this update.

I think they did a good job on the yellow diver, not 100%, but what rep really is? Still, it's good enough for me and I am pleased with the results. If the green color matches the photos of the gen I will get the green Hulk AP rep.

Think I will pass on the Yellow- the deep blue with yellow indices on the timing ring is a go for me and I suspect we will see pics of it within a week.

On a serious note, I really had worst possible opinion on whole line of chrono Divers but green and blue are really calling my name now. :facepalm: Hopefully high price will hold me off from them.

Haha even if it's true, it would still be rejected in rep world 99% of the time. :lol:

It is true :)
It's not a flaw and I don't think it would be rejected as most people know that divers have inerbazel that moves.

You don't own any AP diver?

I do, FC Diver but it can be aligned only by 1 minute intervals so you can't align it if it's off for 20-30 seconds right? Mine is all good but I suppose it should be like that. Same thing with Panerai's and other watches with outer rotating bezels.
