I am sceptical on that one since it's still rated at 300m.... Could be a type-o like the SS case line.
But if it turns out to be true

There are orange aquatimers too...

So not sure the color change solves that "issue" (if it is one for people)

Thank you for clarifying that point for me.

Still I'm sure it is only a matter of time until all of the Forged Carbon cases are discontinued.

Will let you know later this week after my friend has had there meeting with AP
Can you please elaborate on point number 2. Thanks!

Have not seen on the AP website but the perpetual calendars on the ROO's look amazing. Wonder if they will be in LE?

Interesting. The new 44mm ROO and Diver have stainless steel cases. Looks like a DLC 2013 for AP.

I think they are ceramic rather than SS.

Is it official that forged carbon has been discontinued?

Does that mean that my ROO FC is going up in value?

I thought the same but the description on AP website for diver is stainless steel case, the ROO has no description but I assume the same.

You are correct. Why state stainless case to the diver?

I hate to say but I definitely prefer the FC Yellow Diver over the Orange Ceramic version.

Making a diver out of supposedly brittle ceramic is kinda counterintuitive no?

I guess panerai did the same thing this year....
