Very nice, and I would alternate black and orange every month thru summer and Autumn.

Congratulations!! It’s a fabulous piece. Wear often and in good health

Congrats! Looks great. My favorite diver.

Congrats

Interestingly you brought up the white ceramic diver. It definitely crossed my mind as well just that the CB is very rare to come by and the premium is pretty high on that.

I am not sure, but there is not much love for the CB on the forum, wonder why...? It looks amazing in person and am on the lookout for one in the near future.

Right now just enjoying this CE and received plenty of compliments thus far. Going to swop out to an orange strap to take some pictures to compare black vs orange later.

Cheers.

I am liking the watch so far, but it is has so much presence, that one more "special" feature would make it so much more. In other words, its' more than the sum of it's parts. My suggestion, go 15707CB.00.A010CA.01 white ceramic diver.

Congratulations!

It’s a great piece. Enjoy it on the orange strap - really great for the summer

Congratulations and have fun with this beauty.......and by the way...I would choose the orange strap for summer ;)

[Royalex]

sd43 would be my choice.

[Kimber007]

Congrats, you definitely made the right choice! Now make the right choice again and throw the orange strap on it!

[aproo]

Swapped out the black for the orange strap and it certainly pops. Very striking. Loving it..!

Looks really great !!

[duc888]

Nice combination....very nice!

[aproo]

Thought I share my latest acquisition again. I initially had some apprehension on the white but when I held it in my hands, it looks and feels very different. Something about the white.

Which do you think is nicer, the CE or the CB? Is the white more casual?

[duc888]

Nice collection. These two complement each other perfectly.

[trfChris]

Wow, you're on a roll! Double ceramic!

The black one is a classic, the white one looks really awesome, definitely feels like a casual summer vibe. Would probably look great on a blue strap too to match the accents!

[Burlington]

Looking cool !! What a great pair to have

Oh with summer coming you're going to be knee deep.

[aproo]

Thanks....haha. Yeah, could not decide which two I liked better so I grab both and wear them for a while and see which get more wrist time.

If you could only choose one, which would it be?

Because the watch itself is way too big for the wrist (in the bottom pic)

CE orange for me, I'd get a white strap as well so you have a little crossover.

[aproo]

Interesting, you reckon a white strap on the CE matches? Have not seen such a combo though.

My choice is the Rolex SD43, I'm a big fan of Rolex dials.

Nice! Really like the white ceramic. Kinda wish I’d sprung for it over the ST. Congrats!
