Bee for FC Diver......would you ? Thoughts please

Hello all......

Have the Bee, love the Bee.....but have an opportunity to swing a trade deal for the FC Diver, would you?

I do have a Panda in the stable, so I would still have a steel ROO chrono option.

TIA !

what do you like about the diver that your bee currently doesnt have?

The bee is stunning but I would trade as I like cleaner dials vs chronos but I am biased.

The yellow on the fc diver is more subtle on the wrist than in pics, here's
mine:

It depends how much you want the FC Diver, both great watches but I wouldn't do it, keep the Bee.

I would, FCD has less yellow and as you have a chrono ROO so this would make a better pairing.

I love the FC Diver but I probably would not make the trade. If u bought the Bee, u must have bought it for a reason.

I would in a heartbeat. The FC Diver is much better looking to my eyes.

Wouldn't even consider it.

Hold the Bee - save and get the Diver.

You'll want it back eventually.

I prefer the more simple dial layout of the Diver.
Tough decision for me would be FC or all Ceramic.
