Recommended Posts

Audemars Piguet Diver 5.0 Vs. Gen side by side.

 

 

This is not a full review of the v5, its just a side by side picture I made yesterday so you guys could see how amazing this watch is.

12 marker looks odd... Maybe it was just a bad photo... Either way, stunning piece... Making me want this piece more and more.

Yup, the picture was a bit blurry.

 

This is the 12 marker under the loop:

Here are some measurements.

As you can see, there are miner flaws. The case and screws are perfect, the AP text aligns very well, whereas the bottom text is a bit off but not noticeable... And of course slightly bigger inner bezel numbers.

Nice pics. Really helps one figure out the alignment issues. I have no idea whenever someone says the text is not aligned or font too big.

look at the 50. it is larger in the rep. also, look at the word automatic, it is going thru the word on the gen, but the word is above the red line on the rep......

 

the markers at twelve are really different as well.

Yes, I noticed that the 12 marker is a bit larger than the gen. But putting them side by side without the measuring lines I think it would be impossible to notice that.

Just ordered one today.

 

From where?

From Toro, with gen Swiss ETA. I was deliberating between the V4.1 and V5 as seemingly both have pros and cons, but have gone with the 5. If its shipped pronto I should have it by the end of the week, with luck.
