Calling all AP experts...

Hi all experts on AP, have a couple of questions here. Hope u guys can help me with ur inputs. Does the new black ceramic Diver comes in "I" series? Or it's has some "H" series as well? And from my understanding, the diver shd come with a "see-thru" back case, showcasing its wonderful 3120 movements. Does it come with solid back case at all? I saw someone wearing a H series with solid backcase, that's why I'm asking all these. Thanks for ur forthforcoming inputs...

I is the latest serial. Only the ceramic Diver has clear back - the rest are all solid.

So if I see one with solid back case, does it mean its a fake ceramic diver?

If you see a CERAMIC Diver with solid case back it's either a DLC steel Diver or fake.

Is there a DLC Steel diver with orange arc from 12-3 like the black ceramic? Just called the APSC to verify. Still waiting for their reply.

No. There's a Boutique Edition Scuba with orange accents, but they are the whole way round the dial and it is not DLC.

Do you have the reference number? This is a good resource:

APSC has informed me that the ceramic diver only comes in see-thru back case. Anything other than that are FAKE... Looks like I have found my answer.... Thanks guys, for all ur inputs... Hope to own a Ceramic Diver soon....
