Forged Carbon Diver at Millennium Park>>>>>>

Beautiful pics! I love FC (in all its forms), but that regular Diver looks pretty sweet in its own right. Given the price difference, the standard Diver almost seems like the bargain of the century...at least that is how I am attempting to sell the idea to my wife:)

Great pics Hal. When I see the FC Diver, I keep thinking that a regular diver with a FC case would look amazing. Just the simplicity of black and white with carbon.

That Yellow is so sharp against the FC Black. Striking combination.

Great combination, there is really no wrong option here. I will always have a soft spot for the SS Diver

It was the same here. In fact, I hated ALL forged carbon watches. It wasn't until I handled one in the boutique -- quite by accident, mind you (I was in to drop off my Jumbo for service and the FC Diver had just arrived) -- then I knew that I had to have one.

Adam
