Building the most accurate AP FC Diver

Recommended Posts

nlnlnlnene

So I've tried both of the recent FC Diver versions: H-fac, V3

As you know with reps, it's impossible to get perfect without using gen parts or some mods.

This was built by Ryan and combined Noob V4.1 parts, H-fac parts and supposedly also some V3 parts.

Ryan was GREAT and I got the watch within like 2-3 days from HK to USA.

I am planning to mod it further with the help of rbj69 and I will let you guys see the progress.

 

One of them is V3 and one of them is the hybrid Ryan's version.

Included in the deal was a genuine AP bumblebee strap which I took off because it is too large for my wrist (cannot use it).

Nice.

Yeah to me the h-fac version has a superior case in many ways (but caseback is so horrible.

How's the AR? That's the only weak part of my v3

AR on the v3 is inferior to the v4.1 crystal.

 

However I believe both are not as clear as gen.

I believe the gen does not have AR at all, it just has a much higher quality sapphire that it doesn't really need it

It absolutely does have anti-reflective coating.

At least according to various features of the ROOs both diver and non-diver models suggest that it does.
