Icon4 AD Diver + My own version

Sourced some of my own AP parts, and made my own watch. Hope you all like it! It look me a while to source everything that I needed. Enjoy!
See what's different...

I've thought about doing that and wondered how it would look. Also wondered what it would look like without the yellow on the dive ring. I like it

I am hoping that you made this FC Diver with a see through caseback

Nope - I should have, but AP parts are hard to come by.

I only see the white minute and second hands. Anything else swapped?

I think the orange from the ceramic diver would look great on the FC as well!

I'm a big fan of the Carbon on this AP Diver, good job with the build.

Congrats! Where did you course your AP parts? I'm looking for a few hard to find parts for a project I have planned too.

While I dig the blacked-out yellow second and minute hands of the FC Diver, which definitely fit with its aggressive mien, this doesn't look half bad. Well done, sir.

Still, what I'm waiting to see is a steel Diver with a ceramic or RC bezel...

Regards,
Adam

Interesting conversion. You need more conversions: Black inner rotating bezel ring, display case back and a set of black alligator straps!

Yeah I've got a Stainless Steel Diver fullcase set (Caseback, Crystal, bezel, case, black inner rotating bezel) waiting to be put to use... I might just sell it. Not sure what to do with it, its been sitting for 1+ year. Dial's and movement are SO hard to come across.

Get the ceramic bezel on the stainless steel case!
