Diver Just Made It Back Home, Where it Belongs!!!

Just received my Diver back from the APSC in Clearwater. The issues were fixed under warranty and the 3rd year was activated. Looks like the detent screw for the crown was loose and oils were drying.

Oils drying??? Watch is less than a year old. Well, we know some of these Divers had issues with the oil and to be honest who cares.

I love AP regardless!!! Best watch company ever!!! Finally back home after a very quick turnaround of two weeks. AP rocks!!!

I apologize in advance for the crappy iPhone pics this morning!

Great watch. I'm torn between waiting for the ceramic version or just jumping on this version now. I really like the exhibition case back on the ceramic. It would be great if they did that for the stainless version later this year.

I have never met anyone as passionate for any brand let alone AP as you! Glad your diver reached you back safely and in working order again! Looks great! Continue wearing it in good health Hal!

It's because I have perfect sized wrists.

I was resolved to get the 300 but the more I see of the Diver the more Im tempted to get this instead... difficult choice.

Get both!!! For a first AP I recommend the 15300, then add a ROO.

Sam, thanks for your kind words. I'm indeed very passionate about AP but also as passionate in life. I guess it's my Latin upbringing.

Well said my friend! Love that passion!
I share the same sentiment for AP too
Oh... and welcome back, Diver!

Just out of curiosity, I read on one of the topics that the diver runs quite fast (+45 sec/day), does yours run fast after the service or is that issue resolved with this service?

That's like saying, every politician is crooked - no offense to any politicians! It's specific to each watch.
