I currently have a PP 5153G, a PP 5119J, AP 15300 black dial, and a Rolex Sub-date. So I am looking for a more sporty watch

With your current collection I would say get the bee. It's the most sporty watch of the ones you listed.

You won't find a more different sports watch than a FC AP.

The Bee for me. Most Sporty of the lot. It's FC and it also have lume. A close second will be the Panda esp if you can get the Red Hornback strap.

To contrast what you have already own, I will vote for the Bee or may I suggest ROO Volcano which is a very sporty yet eye catching timepiece, happy hunting

I am currently leaning towards the bee right now. My only concern is it as flashy in person as it seems to be in pictures?

It's surprisingly less flashy than you would expect.

The Safari is a great watch and very classy I love mine, but I also wish I had gotten the Bee. The hornback is a very cool look and different than anything else I have. The only complaint I have is the deployant clasp is uncomfortable and the strap needs to be removed and reinstalled 180 degrees to be more comfortable. My vote is Bee if you want a sport watch and Safari for an everyday/office watch Good luck

Personally I like all of your choices - so you really can't go wrong.
You mentioned "sporty" and having just received a 44FC piece last week I would encourage any FC piece as a great option. The "Bee" is impressive in person. Also with the Bee you would have a couple more strap options as well. If "Sporty" is what you are after the 44FC will also deliver. It is a bit more "stealthy" than the Bee - but it is a little larger as well. |
