Diver in FC or ceramic?

[sssteel]

Wow, people sure tired of the FC Diver quickly! Did you guys who now Vote Ceramic like the FC when it first came out, or not even then? How do you feel about the Bumblebee?

I agree, the Ceramic Diver in black rocks!

I never liked a lot the FC, whatever the model, it looks strange IMO, even looks a little dirty on some models, I guess the interest is that no watch looks like the other due to the FC, but I prefer the clean cut black ceramic which I am getting soon, a few days to wait and it's mine

Congrats, I suppose it's the black one? If I had a large collection the white one would fit in nicely, especially the ceramic is better than on the black, 1350 vickers on the black, 1850 on the white, they say 9 times harder than steel, impressive, but in a small collection and except if you live in the tropics all year long, can't justify getting the white, it does look very cool though

I liked it when it came out but wasn't in the market because back then I thought it was crazy money. Times change lol

I just prefer the ceramic crown, crystal caseback and orange to yellow

I prefer the FC for several reasons:

1. The weight
2. The individuality - they are all different
3. To me Carbon Fiber has a more High-Tech feel
4. The Ceramic looks too sterile imo
5. The dials on the FC are muc nicer
6. Prefer yellow/black over orange/black

but the tought of putting scratches into FC gets me crazy!

The good thing is, that I have a raw Carbon Fibre Case (not laquer-finished) for my iPhone, dropped it twice and don't see a chip/dent/other damage

Never cared for the FC Diver. I like the yellow accent but that's it. Same with the bumble bee, just like the yellow accent. Ceramic diver has all the attributes that I prefer in an AP.

And then you see the pics where the FC casing that crumbled like blue cheese and you're like WTF?

You mean the bezel of the FC Grand Prix, wear the bezels began to wear and become a little rounded/not as sharp?
Or do you mean a full FC case, such as Diver, or Bee?
I've seen on the GP bezels, but the full FC case is one I HAVE NOT seen! Pics?

Sorry I meant the bezel but it is logical to assume that the FC case is susceptible to the same type of damage.

This was a good question.
Also was the original MSRP of the FC much higher?
Thanks

I don't know about debut msrp but I know RRP of ceramic was lower than FC to compensate for being boutique only.

It was 21,600 debut, then increased to 23 and change and now 24 and change. This compared to 27 plus for the FC, though big discounts were available on the fc

Prefer the ceramic.

Can the Divers be fitted with a deployment buckle?
