I just thought I'd copy it in, rather than write it all again.
hi,
saw your pics of your dievas AGP on bigwatchforum. Very nice indeed. I am lookin for a radiomir style watch n usually not particularly not drawn towards PVDed pieces. however, with the AGP it seems they r more resistant to daily wear with that dlc coating of theirs. After having it for a while, i wonder u still hold your initial favourable impression of them. Do they still hold up well?? i was told by gnomonwatch they will be expecting their next batch of 10 pieces soon. So i thought i might grab them pending comments from owners like yourself. :)
thanks a lot for help
Hi,
Thanks for your note.
Yep, I'm still very impressed with the AGP. I like watches that are not too fussy, but unique as well.
This one is real quality---I think the others in Ander's vintage collection are quite nice too. I was originally sort of interested in the 2533---you know, the one with the same dial simply because it doesn't look like a Panerai at least in the dial. I've already got a Radiomir base and the other one looks a bit toooo much like it, just a bit larger.
The only suggestions I could make to improve the AGP--the finish is fantastic--have you seen that youtube video?---
I would have had sapphire on the bottom crystal as well or even just a solid back. I really don't need to see another 6497, especially since there are more elaborate versions.
As it is this one has I think acrylic on the back and that's a bit strange. I also would have made the water resistance a bit higher, mabe beefing up the seals around the crown, etc. so the watch seems like more of a workhorse.
All in all though, I'm really happy with this one. Its a keeper---maybe I'll persuade Anders to make a solid back for it!
Regards,
Dan
I'll also add at this stage that I think the fit, finish and design of the AGP is superb. The strap changes are actually easier than the Radiomir---maybe because you don't have that constant fear of slipping and scratching the beast.
I still think a solid back on this one would be a welcome option and a maybe higher water resistance rating ?
