The moVas train has finally pulled into the station. It was a long train ride, but I'm glad that I stayed on. This was a great learning experience for me. Sean taught me a lot about the entire watch making process and think that was one of his goals.

I know there haven't been many photos circulated of these divers so I decided to post some here. Mine we the first 2 to receive the new crown guards and dials. The Avante Garde diver actually has black lume that turned out awesome. I was really skeptical when Sean said he was changing the crown guard because that was the thing about the watch that I really loved. Needless to say, he knew what he was doing.

I'm extremely happy with both of these 2 watches. The Avant Garde is like nothing I have, and quickly became my favorite of the pair. Although once I made a strap swap, the Pro diver is a very awesome looking watch itself. These watches took a long time to be completed, and their not perfect. But I'm completely satisfied with them. Especially knowing that I had a had in the way each one looked.

 











After the swap switch. The stock strap is great just a little to snug for my 7.5 inch wrist.











































 

This is a lume shot of the AG diver with the black lume after 20 minutes in direct sunlight.



This is the Professional diver after the same amount of time.



I don't think I can stress how happy I am with these 2 without sounding too much like a fanboy, but I'm really pleasantly surprised by how much I like these. The rubber strap is awesome and the moVas dual deployant might be the best one I've own. I can really tell a lot of thought went into the design of this.

I have to get to work. Enjoy the pics. Oh. The reason I say it was a surprise is because I didn't get a tracking number for the package. Sean said I had been so patient in waiting for them, that I didn't need a tracking number. So I had no idea when the package would get to my house. Sean thought that was kind of funny.

Wow,,,2 very sweet watches. Both have a different edge to them. Nice strap choices and that OEM rubber with deployant is awesome.

Both look really good on your wrist. I would not be able to pull that off with my puny wrist thoughwhichone.gif.

Congrats! PS: The new crown guards are much better both in function and form, IMHO.

Thanks guys. I really love them. I also agree that the new crown guards looks great. There is a little gap in there where they the don't sit flush agaist the case but it's minimal.

Which one did you have? Either way, I think you're going to love it. The dials look great on both of mine. I have a couple of sandwich dial watches, but these are the best I've had so far.

I also didn't notice until last night that the same lug bars and screws for the straps are used in the bracelet. I don't have that many watches, but is that normal? I was impressed by that little feature.

I have had my AGP Diver since Aug.2011...and yes it is common for the same lug screw to be used on multiple bracelet/straps...ThumbsUp02.gif

Ah! I remember you posting that one. I forgot. I'm glad you posted that shot. I've been wondering how my Pro diver would look on the rubber strap. Thanks. The dial looks really different. Besides the color, there is more detail.

Gentlemen, I really like the Pro Diver and have just paid / agreed to buy one second hand. It is the original design so I would really be grateful if you could tell me what the changes are in the new one.

Just thinking if it is worth me contacting Shaun once I take delivery to update mine too.

Many thanks in advance for the feedback.
