Apeks MTX-R Regulator

Fugly. Looks like a lot of wrench flats and no need for the pin spanner.

I guess that would make life a tad easier, not that pin spanners are hard to find.

It's nice that they labeled the HP port so you don't accidentally put an LP hose in there, and the opposing arrows indicating the swiveling turret is very sporty, but what do you do when the lettering wears off?

Yes, I'm forever attaching hoses to the wrong ports, the labeling will save me lots of trouble. I don't see any labels for the LP ports, that could get confusing. Hopefully the turret will still turn without the arrows, I guess it would probably be covered under warranty hopefully it wouldn't mean you'd have to replace the turret.

Scubapro lookalike. Presumably Apeks under orders from their new owners....

But they're owned by Aqualung iirc, not Scubapro ...

Seems very.... faux military?

I know, I have owned Apeks regs for years. They just have been made to look like Scubapro probably as an attempt at more US sales.

Ah sorry, I probably misunderstood you in your initial post. What you probably meant was that Aqualung told/ordered Apeks to make their new regultor design look more like Scubapro.

If Aqualung wants to increase the market share of Apeks. The answer is very simple: make the spare parts readily available and introduce the service course to anyone by its authorized dealers/tec.

I would love to replace all my heat exchangers on my Apeks 2nd stages(x 6).

Like what I said.
