To the extent anyone is interested, the ceramic diver has landed at the NYC boutique (saw it today). Priced at 23800, which is about 2K more than what it was when it was introduced at the boutique trunk shows last year.

Nice, but I think I still prefer FC.

Why do you prefer the FC?

I bought the FC this week cos I prefer it in pictures to the ceramic but haven't held the ceramic in real.

I like my APs heavy and my Pateks and Rolexes lighter, I guess I have to say that as Im after a RG Novelty.

Not a huge fan of the orange, I like the weight better (although the ceramic is lighter than the ss - or at least it felt that way to me) and I just like the look of FC better. Also cheaper to fix the case if something bad happens.

They have done a good job on the ceramic but it most certainly is not under the radar - very shiny case. I don't dislike it at all, I just like the FC better. And of course if you buy well you can get the FC for less now that they increased the price of the ceramic.

On the plus side the ceramic crowns as opposed to rubber and I guess the open case back as well although that is not a big deal for me.

My decision is whether to get an fc diver in light of the fact that I already have the ss and the bracelet for it or get novelty fc. Currently leaning toward the novelty.

Enjoy the FC diver, love that piece.

Which Diver? Normal or Forged Carbon

Thank you for your reply.

I love the light weight of the FC that disappears on the wrist. It is scratch resistant which I enjoy too. Daily wearer par excellence.

Regards.

If you want something ordinary and common get the steel diver if you want something less ordinary and more unique and less common get the FC

I don't know if "common" is a word I'd use with any AP =Op

The yellow of the FC really bugs me. Would be much cooler with a stealth all black look!

SS diver out of those two any day...
