Thinking of swapping my 44FC for a Ceramic and wondering if any owners of the new 2017 dial version out there.
With 5 warranty and drop in rrp for new dial do think the older ceramic dial are due price adjustment as currently there is not a lot of difference in price between the 2.
Any owners for new dial version wish they had got the older dial ?
I’m on the fence and can go either way.

the new dial has me closer to a ceramic 44 than i have ever been. I liked the anthracite too, but the new one in person is awesome. The old black dial ceramic is my least favorite of the 3.

Good luck finding it at a UK AD though.

I personally prefer the anthracite version. The new dial is very cool, but I find it a bit dark and am not a huge fan of the tawny/brown/ gold colour

Photo here of it beside the TI (lighter shade of anthracite)

And of the old CE

The old gets my vote as well

I made the switch from the 44FC to the 44 Ceramic with the anthracite dial and I love it. It gets the majority of the wrist time.

The old version never caught my eye at the time but I really like the new version a lot.

I am a fan of the old black CE as well, but I like the blue markers on the new CE much more. There aren't any other models that I know of that have the blue markers and it makes it look beautiful. Either way, good luck!
