First I would like to thank @raymond74 for providing some much needed screws for the AP diver. Second I have some wrist shots!
This is by far one of my favorite watches. I don’t see this one going anywhere anytime soon! I was torn between the newer model or this one and decided the premium wasn’t worth it for a display case back!

You cud be in luck...all those first series AP/PP/Rolex none of them have display backs and are selling at a premium over the newer better iterations. [nt]
Raymond probably unscrewed the portholes on some of those yachts for them screws. He is benevolent that way :p Havent heard from him all day today - mabe this wud entice him )
Goodness gracious, so glad you went for the solid caseback!
I tend to prefer them anyways... on a dive watch, every time. You have the better version, IMO.
I’m a fan of solid case backs especially if they have nice finshing. The price difference was about 1.5-2k.
So far I have been babying this watch. People told me that AP is fragile even though it feels like a tank... I’ll swim with it soon though as summer is pretty much here!!
The new v. Old diver is an interesting question
I do like the clear caseback but the dial on the new version is stamped whereas the old version, as I understand, was made on those ancient pantograph machines like the ROs. I'm not crazy for a stamped tappiserrie dial which is the only thing that's hangi...
i am glad you finally received the screws! Have lots of fun with this incredible Diver! [nt]
And this first version, with I also own has the much beautifuller dial, choice well done!!
One more shot from today!
I am so paranoid with this watch still. Something about the missing screw makes me check that they are not loose all the time now!!!! ...
