Yes, the first Diver in steel before "redesign" and the Forged Carbon Diver one had the pantograph cut dial vs the stamped ones on all Divers after that.

Another difference is that FC diver have the rainfall ceramic bezel vs the vertical brushed bezel on the models from the ceramic one...

Looks great! I want this to be my next AP. 15500st? I prefer the dials of 15400 and 15500 over 15510 simply for text and AP logo.

Thanks for jumping in to answer. I simply prefer wet dial (gloss facets, cut detail, etc) aesthetically and the oem text in white.

Thanks for the thorough explanation, edo. I’ve never entertained an AP diver all these years, but looking at JB’s I agree that the previous generation would be my strong preference. I’m sure in person the new ones are cool, so it’s a matter of preference.
