Contemplating a sale...
Thinking about selling my H serial Rubberclad...... which I never thought I would do. I got a Navy 26470 a little while back and have a 126600 that I wear quite a bit. So the Rubberclad is often neglected since when I have the opportunity to wear an Offshore, I tend to grab the Navy and when I just want a black watch, I grab the Seadweller.
My considerations are a Carbon or Ceramic Diver or maybe a Panda ROC if I can find one. Other watches I have are a BLNR, Hulk, DJII, 15300 Blue. I think the ROC or one of the Divers would fit really nice, thoughts? Think I would lean towards the carbon diver since I would prefer the yellow as I already have some orange on the Navy ROO. Any thoughts I may not be considering here? Photo of RC for thought: |

Yeah, I do like that one but I dunno about the orange.... I also really love the look of the carbon and yellow on the FC. Would be a great summer time/fun piece! I think I have ruled the ROC out, already have the 15300 and do not want another bracelet to worry about, I do enjoy the durability of the RC rubber strap and would like that again. Could also change to a black/yellow hornback or yellow rubber like some have done on here. But the ceramic on orange rubber strap looks awesome too!

I would def choose CE over FC and probably orange over yellow, altho I did have an Orange PO and Yellow Seawolf so I'm flexible here.

Ceramic is great, but ROC can also be put on rubber for 700 (for pin buckle) to 1300 (deployant). Ordered rubber for my ROC last week.

Can’t go wrong with either diver. I prefer yellow over orange and the original carved dial of the FC. The CE has the display back and CE crowns. I don’t really care about the display back but if the FC diver has CE crowns it would be perfection. Also like that AP pioneered the use of FC in watch making.

Well, that was fast. Fellow TRF'er had one online for sale and just so happened to be in the area (dc metro) where he is from this weekend. Met him at mall at a former AP AD i know, went to bank and closed the deal. Thanks, Raphael!

Great! I’ve been in the Karting circus for years. Before in Italy and now is US.. I’m trying to get a sponsor for the F4 but it’s kind of hard!

Yeah, it's not easy! I know some of the kids in F4 and several of the teams who also run in F2000. Best of luck, don't sleep on school and getting your career in order! Worst case, you can end up like us old guys with careers to help continue our passion for race cars! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
