Back to AP....
...have been without an AP since I sold my 15300 this summer, yesterday I got a minty Diver from Dec -13...











BUT I have some questions

-I find the edges under the buckle VERY sharp, anyone else experienced this?

-I need to source a smaller size strap (I have to use the last hole since I like to wear my watches tight) I have the original on mine, what size is the smaller one? anyone know the RRP of these?

Nice! Iirc the rubber strap's $183 from APSC. I use a small and regular (mixed) to get the right size and centering.

THANKS buddy!

183 USD sound VERY good, unfortunately I think the prices in Sweden are alot higher (If what I heard is true) but I will check when the AD is open after the holidays...

The primary driver of high pricing is the tang buckle. As long as you are just buying rubber and switching the tang, the pricing should not be crazy. Now if you are buying the tang then it is a little pricey.

Congrats!
I think that's overall the best looking Diver, mainly because the shape of the hands can be better appreciated than on the other Divers, but they all look great.

The tang buckle on my 44mm ROO chrono also has very sharp edges.

Congrats! The Diver is an awesome choice.

I haven't had any issues with the buckle having sharp edges. I will assume that you are experiencing this because you wear it very tightly.

Enjoy!
