SSTEEL 0 Posted July 9, 2013 Was just reading this thread over t TRF... http://www.rolexforu...ad.php?t=303831 Not something you could expect with a high end luxury timepiece, but just goes to show, even the genuine has its issues with this complication.

sgtguk 0 Posted July 9, 2013 You purchased a gen? :lmao: I wish mate ! I just bought my first AP Diver (Rep) I love it already but not touching that now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted July 9, 2013 Aha, I was going to say :P I will be getting one too, but having to wait until the next 3.5v batch is available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P4GTR 0 Posted July 9, 2013 I wonder how long AP will take to fix that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ilikewaches 29 Posted July 9, 2013 The crown broke off of my gen Tag link. These things happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted July 9, 2013 I wonder how long AP will take to fix that. If a similar post I read a while ago is anything to go by, could be up to 18 months! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffw69 0 Posted July 9, 2013 How do we know this guy with the issue on that forum doesn't have the rep version? Lots of eejits post their reps on gen forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.Eric 693 Posted July 9, 2013 I just spun the bezel on my swiss 3.5. It went 60 clicks with no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted July 9, 2013 How do we know this guy with the issue on that forum doesn't have the rep version? Lots of eejits post their reps on gen forums. I know what you mean, but in this case, he does state that this particular watch is still under AP warranty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted July 9, 2013 I just spun the bezel on my swiss 3.5. It went 60 clicks with no problem. You got ripped-off, mate - I got the updated batch with 63 clicks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtguk 0 Posted July 10, 2013 Aha, I was going to say :P I will be getting one too, but having to wait until the next 3.5v batch is available. You won't regret it mate, looked at these for ages and wondered why all the fuss, you know me Tudor/Rollie whore but I've picked up a V2 with full Vac mods, to say I'm really happy with it would be an understatement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted July 10, 2013 Cool. Was planning on getting the V3.5 version as this is supposed to be the most accurate. If an AP diver has blue hue on the date, is this a 3.5, or am I getting mixed up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtguk 0 Posted July 10, 2013 Blue hue on V3 I believe mate, V3.5 should be colourless on date cyclops :suck: 3.5 is the way to go from what I've seen, I do remember seeing lots of crappy lume application on the initial 3.5 that came out though I think the newer batches were fine.

lfovco 0 Posted July 26, 2013 It's actually amazing how many issues there are with some genuine brands. I read so many horror stories from so many panerai owners with in-house movement, it's quite amazing. Panerai QC is also shit these days, really went down to hell around 2006. So we should be happy with current reps. AP as a gen brand is really not worth the money at all, they are great but having more and more issues as well.
