hi guys
what watch do you think more wanted?
the roo 44 mm still or the carbon?
i want to replace my roo panda in 1 of them...
what do you think will be the best choice?

seattle1978 · 7 September 2012, 11:03 AM

if you are replacing Panda - go for SS 44mm. If you can keep the panda than add FC.

nick c · 7 September 2012, 11:04 AM

shalom i think the carbon is better

kilyung · 7 September 2012, 11:45 AM

Carbon is bad ass.

h999r · 7 September 2012, 11:58 AM

Carbon my pick.

TSW · 7 September 2012, 02:40 PM

Carbon no doubt!

blcblc · 7 September 2012, 03:51 PM

Carbon

Watchonisto · 7 September 2012, 04:28 PM

iLLGT2 · 7 September 2012, 04:36 PM

Carbon for sure

braningan · 7 September 2012, 04:51 PM

I prefer RG

mb23 · 7 September 2012, 05:48 PM

Carbon!

texex91 · 7 September 2012, 09:45 PM

Stainless. Perfect balance. FC is nice for second piece.

shay · 7 September 2012, 10:34 PM

thank you for the Quick Answers.
But there is one thing that everyone knows ....
A rumor reached my ears, From a trusted source...
that AP Plan to announce in January, They stop producing the 44 mm carbon,
And in its place will be a ceramic model,
Which certainly will hurt demand od the 44 carbon, Moreover, I think is too dark,

Speaking of which ...What do you think if any of the two Third will win And buy the ROYAL OAK LEO MESSI LIMITED EDITION steel 26325TS.OO.D005CR.01.
What do you think about this model?

Is it wanted?

Hi Shay, do you mean that AP will produce a full ceramic model in 44mm to replace the current carbon 44mm? I find that kind of interesting as I'm about to get a carbon 44mm soon

this is what told me. Exactly how the watch will be, That we know only in January 2013. But from what I heard Discontinued production of the 44 mm carbon

s14roller · 8 September 2012, 12:49 AM

It would be a bit odd to discontinue a watch after 1 year, no? As for ceramic, is there even another watch that is full ceramic??

Isn't the legacy mostly ceramic? Case, bezel, etc

I sure hope they keep the current 44mm carbon. Love the look and feel.

I'm considering the 44mm ROO SS or carbon as well. I'm leaning towards the carbon but wonder if the SS is more of a timeless design/material and will be more desirable in the future.

Yoda · 8 September 2012, 02:03 AM

Lol. Not going to happen on a new line Shay, on the other hand I have a few 44mm so I hope your rumour is true.

Maybe it's just a rumor ...But I heard it from a reliable source

h999r · 8 September 2012, 04:16 AM

Depends on the selling, if everybody still buying carbon, why discontinued ?
A bit make no sense but we'll see

tomato · 8 September 2012, 04:45 AM

Didn't AP spend a lot of time and resources perfecting the FC case fabrication? It would be a surprise for them to abandon it so soon. It's a great looking material that seems to perform very well. I do wish they would make a 42 mm FC though.

ChristianN · 8 September 2012, 05:08 AM

Personally I really like the FC models. Very unique.

exchange83 · 9 September 2012, 03:24 AM

Carbon for sure

theseire · 1 December 2012, 11:44 PM

Did not want to start a new thread. In the same boat now choosing between the 44mm SS or the 44mm FC. Bear in mind I have the 44mm RG. Please help me as to which you would choose and why, tnks!

The FC is more different(metal vs non-metal).

SS for me. I would go for BB rather than 44mm FC.

How do,you like the 44mm rg?

v5cog · 3 December 2012, 07:24 AM

Just picked up my 1st AP, its a FC bumblebee and chopped in my DSSD for it, I have to say the quality of the carbon is outstanding and the ceramic bezel compliments it perfectly, striking and classy !, although I liked the DSSD, I don't miss it one bit, will post pics soon
