Stung by the Bee

It's been a while since I've last worn by BumbleBee.

I've had it for 2 years and I am really crazy in love with it, the watches that I really feel comfortable wearing them for a long time are my BB and Daytona.

Here is a picture, I am currently enjoying a Nespresso Cappuccino and enjoying reading some of the wonderful threads on TRF.

It's dusty outside and nothing like sitting back listening to nice tunes and wasting time online.

Weekend here already!!!

Thanks, I love it because it looks exotic and has something to do with motorsport(Carbon Fiber) I'm a huge petrol head and its super light much more comfortable than my other AP ROO RC.

bumblebee is such a cool watch. just don't think the black + yellow accents would work with my pale, pale and more pale skin. on you, it looks fantastic.

Somewhat I agree, I've been looking at the watch wrist shots it doesn't look that great on a pale skin.

I'm not that dark but I got a dark tan because of the 30 day summer vacation by the pool and sea.

Samegoes to the Volcano it didn't look good on me as good as it's on the wrist of a darker skin like NBA basketball players etc.

I tried on the 44mm ROO carbon you have there at an AD earlier this week, it's so awesome!! I am officially in love with ROO and carbon

I think the BB and the 44mm ROO carbon has moved onto the top of my list for my next watch (whenever the watch fund gets replenished).

Cheers,
James

I like the 44mm but it looks huge on my wrist, btw the BumbleBee is going to be discontinued very soon.

Didn't know that! I hope you enjoy that car as much as I enjoyed the pictures of your previous one!

I'm not an expert at all but is there a possibility that it was some kind of a sales tactic? I know you already have one but perhaps he tries to spread the rumor.
