The weak part on the diver

[Asheron82]

In your case, I would send the watch back to the dealer, you never know what could happen when you open the watch.

well my main concern is once it back with them, it will take "forever" to get it back, i guess i take my chances and get it remedied by the modder whos going to help with the mods later on instead. i def gonna send the dealer an email to highlight to him the watch's issues.

Cheers!
Ash

Hi Guru, thanks for the heads up, meaning pressing the crystal outwards from the inside of the watch? and which also means i will need to pull something off like wad vpx did to his AP diver which im not confident enough. so i guess i might need to send this to a modder soon to have it remedied, i think the dealers should be informed of all this nitty gritty issues so as not to see a repeat of such issues like crystal not seated properly or CB gapping issue.

*btw anyone has the CB gapping issue so far?

Mine also have a gasp between the case and caseback.

I was really thrilled with the release of that watch, finally an accurate AP with reliable movement!

I was planning on investing some time and money in the watch, but after dismounting the watch and wearing it for a few days, I don't think it's worth it anymore.

Beside the weak inner bezel stem, the caseback gasp, and the poor crystal sitting, I also noticed the steel scratches quite easily.

Isnt the gap normal? Mine has it too... I love the watch! the feeling is great. My Innerbezel is still working and i have no problem with the Crystal. For me its an very good Replica.

The watch definitely looks good, it's just not very well buit.

I agree, but some are. That means, the Noob factory has different supplier, for sure for the inner bezel ring. Some fit , some do not fit, they are just a hair off at some numbers.

I have absolutly no problem with the watch... (maybe the crystal is on the right side a little bit deeper in the case than on the left side but this is ok for me)

Im sad that the factory made such flaws. but im 100% satisfied with my watch .
So i recomend it. Lets hope for an v4.

Sorry, I didn't expressed myself correctly. I meant it's not a good watch (materials, engineering, ...).

I find Andrew to be really good. If I'm going to spend good money on a watch, I'm gonna spend it with Andrew.

Andrew is not a trusted dealer here, why take the risk when RWI trusted dealers can get you the same watches at the same or better prices?

Plus some of our trusted dealers here probably have a better service than Andrew.

We have a lot of very good trusted dealers, with different offer types. I have always problems to choose just one of our TD!!
I don't understand!. Why happens this always??

 

[bambax]

so is the Channel factory v3 AP diver better then the noob factory v2
which is more reliable ?? with less problems ??

 

[s65amg]

more problems, more accurate - noob version
less problems, less accurate - chanel version

make your choice.

No, it also has problems with the inner bezel ring.

Just buy it from one of the trusted dealers here and have him do a good QC, including case back and inner bezel.

many thanks

has every piece a problem with the inner bezel? I am in consideration buying a noob and sending to uwe for ar/lume, but i am concerned about the problems with the inner bezel and still thinking about waiting for a better version or buying this one.........

 

[Felixle7]

I dont think so...guru sad that different factorys made the parts, so its maybe its a gambling.
The bezel is just THE WEAK PART OF THE DIVER so even if mine is still working I better dont play to much with it.


@http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/member.php?u=35350Ale7575 Cause Andrew offers shipent from Uk, his collection is huge and hes a nice guy... I dont understand why he isnt a TD.

It's not the only weak part.

You could understand it with just a little reading...

He and Josh are known as "the cartel". They used to be TD here, but they have a history of pressuring othre dealers so they raise their prices, pressuring factories so they would sell only to the them, and basically do everything they can so we get screwed by buying overpriced reps.

So much for a nice guy...

See all these QC pictures that people post daily with 100 things wrong with the watch. I never get that from Andrew, but have had it with some of these other guys.

If they run the game and forced factories to make better watches and at the end of the day I am getting much better quality watches, I could be ok with the price hike.

If a few dollar price hike for better quality is an issue, then maybe some people need to rethink their hobby..
