Do you like the PVD diver, seems new edition of 2015, with metal bracelet and rubber strap?

Since I can forget about getting one day the ceramic one, 2 on Chrono 24, in the USA and in Japan, while there are quite a few FC divers, this one is nice also, I like the blue on the dial in fact and also like PVD watches, well they say PVD but I guess it's DLC, if it's PVD no way as it scratches easily, it's not too expensive also, but I guess it needs to be seen in real, here's a few not very good pics, what do you think? I prefer the ceramic diver but by the time I have the funds for one it will probably be impossible to get one

I like the dial but don't like the HEV if that's what's at 10 o'clock. Even if it's not an HEV, I still don't like that.

But,....

If that doesn't bother you, it's a good looking watch.

It's not a HEV, it's to make the inner bezel rotate, all AP divers have it

In fact I think it's the kind of watch I will like more and more as time goes by, not sure the real AP fans will like it but as always if I do who cares

I prefer my watches un modified and I would never do this to a diver. Ymmv

Not sure why you think you won't be able to get a ceramic diver. They aren't going to be safe queens in the collections of royalty. Watches get discontinued all the time.

Because on Chrono 24 there are only 2 on sale, and it seems only 1 is available immediately, so if when they just stopped production you have only 2 on C24 that means they didn't make a lot of them and I suspect the owners will not have a huge envy to flip them...

This won't be the last awesome sports watch ap makes. People flip even the coolest watches

Will you get some big discount? Of course not. But that was never available on this piece anyways.

Yeah I guess you're right, hopefully when I have the funds and after a hunting period one will probably pop up, so won't get another to compensate, except if I go for the 39mm Datograph, the other watch with the ceramic diver that I really want one day

VICI · 25 May 2015, 02:13 PM

I don't like modified watches.

Be patient and search. You never know when someone is going to want to sell at the right price.

Err...No. Big Difference between PVD and Ceramic. PVD is actually SS coated in black. Depending on the quality of the coating material used, it can wears off over time or gets scratched off easily leaving ugly scars.

Go for the Ceramic Diver if you need a cool looking all black sports watch.

Everything else is a compromise which you will end up flipping thus costing more money.

redsubby · 25 May 2015, 04:54 PM

Hard to tell but ruins the finish IMO....doesn't really look black either

Hairdude1 · 25 May 2015, 06:11 PM

I prefer original

lapince · 25 May 2015, 10:01 PM

Yeah you guys are right, when I have the funds will see, maybe Ben will have gotten tired of his

Oh and yes it doesn't look black, it's more like grey, anyways I decided to forget this one, I guess I was just trying to see possibilities outside of the ceramic, but even if I like the SS, the ceramic is the one I find stunning
