Del 4,499 Posted October 30, 2011 As many of you know, I recently bought an AP Diver directly from Uwe (Fine DD) complete with all of his mods as follows:- - gen SW 220-1 movement - relumed with Superluminova Grade A on dial, hands and inner bezel - double AR on crystal and cyclop - AP ROO crystal, raised to 0,3mm over bezel - sunken bezel screws - waterproofed till 6.7 bars - regulated movement It came on the standard rubber strap (which is of great quality btw) but I wanted it on a hornback so was lucky to snap this Donerix one up from Midasmook who only lives 10 mins from my house - it was a lot quicker than ordering new! This is exactly the look I was wanting - the strap is really nice and comfortable to wear too. (Note: changing these straps is a right pain in the arse/ass! ) The watch itself is incredible. The movement is as smooth as butter, really quiet and keeps excellent time (as you would expect). Obviously, Uwe has taken a good rep and made it super. End of. Between the AR and fully-lumed dial it just oozes quality, but even the little details like sunken bezel screws all contribute to the "gen" feeling you get from it. It's even waterproofed, despite the extra screw-in crown and renown ill-fitting caseback. (Uwe has his own gasket that he fits to give a watertight seal on the caseback.) All in all, this is an incredible rep and, in my opinion, well worth the money. I've taken a few more pics - hope you enjoy them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crusader 0 Posted October 30, 2011 I think you would have trouble convincing someone this is a rep We see watches with black face and brown strap all the time, but this one has something speical about it, I don't know what it is. Certainly a watch to enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dendo 93 Posted October 30, 2011 Perfection Del. Great taste you have. Well done and thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,499 Posted October 30, 2011 I think you would have trouble convincing someone this is a rep Apart from the fact that the gen is around $20,000! Great taste you have. Why thank you sir! Thanks again everyone for your comments. I'm glad you guys liked my pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bubbaa 0 Posted October 30, 2011 Wow! Just pure sexiness. Nice one Del, I ordered a black shark & Tan Hornback for my Diver, getting it relume, agony of waiting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiz 0 Posted October 30, 2011 Once again fantastic work by Uwe. Congrats, the watch looks great! For the record, there is no such thing as "Grade A Superluminova", juste like there is no such thing as "Grade A" replica. There is Tritec Super-LumiNova®, and there is the rest of the world.

Bugger your Breitlings !!!!! ps: I have the same on the original rubber strap which hyas been a 'daily beater' for the last 3 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,499 Posted October 30, 2011 More great comments - thanks to all of you. A few personal responses required though:- @ bubbaa - the waiting is worth it! @ GC - if you think my pics are brilliant then I'm over the fucking moon! Nice to see you around again - you've been missed mate! @ gwtc - now, now.....there will be no buggering of my Breitlings! (Sounds painful anyway! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffw69 0 Posted October 30, 2011 Hey Del, I really like that watch! - and the strap is great. I have an AP Diver on order with a bracelet, what do you think about these on bracelets? Thanks, Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,499 Posted October 31, 2011 Hey Del, I really like that watch! - and the strap is great.I have an AP Diver on order with a bracelet, what do you think about these on bracelets? Thanks Jeff! Bracelet v's strap is just personal preference - I like them both but prefer the rubber or leather on the Diver. Others (like Luthier I expect) would say the opposite! I neeeeeeeed one of these... Anyone want to help me do a bank job? (Please PM me if interested.) Fixed it for ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fine dd 0 Posted November 1, 2011 For the record, there is no such thing as "Grade A Superluminova", juste like there is no such thing as "Grade A" replica. There is Tritec Super-LumiNova®, and there is the rest of the world. Yes it is. Grade A Superluminova costs 30% more but it glows 30% brighter and longer And if you order it in "extra fine" (costs also more) you can make the little fine DOTS like on DEL´s Superocean with a dosimeter till 0,1mm. Only a question of equipment and price... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
