Hey Guys,
Has anyone changed out the bezel to new black or PVD coating to stock bezel on the SS Diver?

singe89 · 23 August 2013, 01:07 PM

Thought about it a good bit. Wanted to add the ceramic bezel to my SS diver since it was my daily beater. APSC wouldn't do it so I found a local watch maker with an AP parts account. If I remember correct the ceramic bezel was about $2k. I was ready to pull the trigger so I had a buddy photoshop the SS diver with a black bezel and didn't really care for the look. I decided to go with the FC diver. The FC case, ceramic bezel, Ti case back and buckle was worth the extra $$$.

Jim, do you still have the photoshopped pic?

craniotes · 24 August 2013, 12:22 AM

I think that the ceramic bezel would look killer on the steel Diver. Or, better yet, a rubber clad bezel (fits better with the diving theme, IMO).

I don't. He just pulled a photo of the diver off the web and photoshopped it real quick. I didnt have him send me a copy.

Looks great to these eyes (I probably wouldn't PVD the screws, though).

Regards,

That ceramic bezel along with a transparent case back, would make the SS diver ideal. I think it would start to steal business from the 44 Chrono though.

Id like the SS bezel and dial with an FC case, my fav parts of those two divers.

I haven't got a picture of a SS diver with a rubber bezel... But have photo shopped one of a RG diver with rubber bezel....looks cool IMHO

While we're on it can any of you photoshop masters do a SSDiver with cermet from say a Jarno Trulli?

conkers · 25 August 2013, 01:16 PM

Wow, the rose gold with rubber and the steel with ceramic both look great to me.

TSW · 25 August 2013, 06:29 PM

That sure looked fantastic!

Jason... as you will see the Jarno Ceramet Bezel didn't look that different,

but I personally think the Ceramic Bezel of the FC Diver has more presence

?

Jarno Bezel 1st

Manofsteelpt · 26 August 2013, 02:35 AM

Since we're taking photoshop requests, can someone photoshop a ROO Tourbillon on my wrist?

Soly20 · 26 August 2013, 02:56 AM

THose photoshop pics look nice. I like the PVD/Ceramic Bezel more than the Jarno bezel on the diver. The gold one....

I think the cermet would look fantastic... If AP would have let me change the bezel on mine I wouldn't have sold it

If they put the grey cermet bezel and screws of the Schumi on this gold Diver then Holy Mackerel that would be my dream AP I imagine!

Colin, if you can photoshop that would love to see it!

wrxsti · 27 August 2013, 05:20 AM

I can only hope and dream that Ap makes a rose gold rubber clad diver
