AP Diver QEII CUP 2014 arrived

[dullidulli 1]

I recently got one of these, purchased from a TD next door:

 

AP Diver QEII CUP 2014.

 

First impression was: disappointment.

 

Compared with SS Diver, it is very light. Of course I was aware of that before (Myjota

movement, Titanium case etc.), but I wouldn’t have expected it to be that light.

 

It came along with the grey leather strap which is really awful (surprise, surprise). Minor quality, stiff, easily loses color when scratched by buckle as soon as you put it on the wrist.

I should have ordered the rubber strap instead.

 

So first thing to do was changing the strap:

Orloff dark grey hornback with grey stitching and rosé gold deployment clasp.

Now we are talking! I start liking the watch.

 

- case finish is nice but probably sensitive to scratches comparable to Chronopassion

- shiny, nice rosé gold bezel, screws are ok but could be more sunken

- AR out of the box is good (better than SS Diver V6)

- beautiful caseback, the lovely detailed rotor looks awesome

 

So finally I am very satisfied with the new purchase. It is a recommendable watch.

 

Pics (bezel and lugs look rather like yellow gold on the pictures but are nicely rosé golden in reality):

I think its a really nice rep. I have tried on the real one and its really heavy. May I know where you got this from?

Sure, it's from Ryan (intime, TD next door).
