Environmental Seal on Apeks XTX regs - appearance

[gunkter]

Might take flak for the post as it is purely about appearance rather than function - but when I bought my Apeks XTX200s the Environmental seal on the first stage was black with the big Apeks logo on it and I thought it looked really good. Every time I service them, the service kit seems to have a clear/white environmental seal with a tiny logo and room to write the date of servicing (which, granted, is very useful). Just wondering if anybody has seen Apeks kits with the cool looking black seals, or if I'm stuck with these bland looking ones. Thanks

None of the Apeks Service kits I have seen have the black Hydrostatic Diaphragm in them. It is clear. There are part numbers for them and they can be ordered.

XTX200 (Non-Tungsten) 2006 to Present:
AP14821 - Hydrostatic Diaphragm, XTX
AP1482F1 - Hydrostatic Diaphragm, XTX (3 Color)

Ok thanks ... dunno why but I never even thought about trying to order it individually rather than buying the kit.

The one used on DS4 and DST (?) is supposed to be replaced at service time, hence coming with the service kit. The ones on FSR, FST and variants are reusable. Personally I put Sapphire ones on all mine, they look cool, simply all black with the 'A' logo. They can be ordered separately.
