Thanks . They also stated that it was easier to work with than steel and much more corrosion resistant.

This is my favorite watch, period (not including things that are completely out of my reach of course). Maybe in a few years, if I am still on the right side of the ground ...

Great review Mike. I think thats it for me iam sold. I always thought the Bumblebee was a bit too much with the hornback, but with the rubber strap just looks so right. My RC has taken such a battering. So i think FC and Ceramic bezel is the way forward. I hope the move a few pieces around and pull the trigger latter this week. Does anyone know how much a rubber strap and tang buckle would cost it the UK. Thanks
