This is the second time I heard this but are they stopping the forged carbon lineup?

Who told you that

yachty 1 · 9 October 2012, 05:29 AM

I know it sounds unusual but was said here once and on another forum. They are beautiful pieces thats why I couldnt believe it

TSW · 9 October 2012, 05:36 AM

There is no truth in that statement what's so ever.

mb23 · 9 October 2012, 07:18 AM

Not true at all! They actually plan on growing it!

Given their finest Royal Oak Offshores all have some carbon on them (forged carbon concept, and rose gold tourbillon with forged carbon bezel), I doubt they are going away from it.

I love the carbon.

Just wondering if there will still be such high demand for the FG in the future, 5 or 10+ years down the line. I try to buy my watches for the long term and while I'm all about the 44mm ROO FG right now I wonder if I would feel the same way in the future vs. just going with the SS verson.

No they are not.

exchange83 · 9 October 2012, 10:39 AM

Love their forged carbon pieces. Would be shocking decision if they suddenly decided to stop making.

kilyung · 9 October 2012, 11:39 AM

Not likely

TSW · 10 October 2012, 04:04 AM

Why would they stop making these beautiful Carbon pieces

Is the BB the cheapest list price for a AP FC?

I really like the new 44mm FC, the more I look at it the more I want one.

The Diver in FC would be "cheaper" then the BB.
The 44mm is also very nice but you know how i feel about the arabic numerals on my AP's
