Chiquita Fanjita 1,805 Posted July 8, 2015 Having recently tried on the gen prototype No. 0000 of the new white AP Diver, I really liked it and wondered how long it would be before the rep arrived. I didn't have too long to wait, with it being released pretty much at the same time as the gen. It looks great, but one major flaw that stands out a mile and stops me from getting one, is that datewheel. How the hell can they manage to get the colour of the DW wrong? This is from the JF factory as well, who I tend to find are better than the Noob factory. Think I'll hold on and see if the v2 follows soon with the correct DW.

Lt. Dan 0 Posted July 8, 2015 How would thye sell the V2 if they didn't make a "mistake" on the V1 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martijn0007 3 Posted July 8, 2015 The black datewheel actually looks better imo, but indeed a big flaw! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita Fanjita 1,805 Posted July 8, 2015 That's one major flaw.. Thank you for sharing this vital piece of information.. Hope they get it right the 2nd time around. No worries. Really hope they do, cos other than that it looks great. How would thye sell the V2 if they didn't make a "mistake" on the V1 ? true mate. Geez, what a cock-up. I know mate, even Stevie Wonder could've seen the difference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita Fanjita 1,805 Posted July 8, 2015 Well that's a pretty significant flaw............................................... error error....................................................................... put this one my do not buy list. If they sort it, it will definitely be on my wanted list. The black datewheel actually looks better imo, but indeed a big flaw! They both look pretty good TBH, but just seems to be a massive error.

black263 228 Posted July 8, 2015 Does that mean that the cheapie I bought ages ago is no longer a fantasy? (and it has the correct DW colour!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chavezzito 121 Posted July 8, 2015 Does that mean that the cheapie I bought ages ago is no longer a fantasy? (and it has the correct DW colour!) You are still missing the black part on the 20, 30...ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita Fanjita 1,805 Posted July 8, 2015 Does that mean that the cheapie I bought ages ago is no longer a fantasy? (and it has the correct DW colour!) Kinda, although the original white "fantasy" Diver has different coloured hands, different indices colour, inner bezel doesn't have black section, DW surround isn't black, has date magnifier and doesn't have open caseback. Other than that they're similar'ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than that they're similar'ish At least it's white. When mine came out, that was kind of a give-away at 30 paces and a one second glance. Now that AP have gone down the white route, it's just a matter of time before they copy the other minor details.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
