Cru Jones · 4 December 2012, 09:04 PM

d*mn that looks goooood.

TSW · 5 December 2012, 12:27 AM

Excellent looking combo!

kilyung · 5 December 2012, 01:03 AM

Very nice! I had the same setup but found I liked it better on the SS plots and buckle for more contrast. I'm going to try the black plots and buckle on Survivor hornback though.

Watchflair · 5 December 2012, 01:05 AM

Nice pics! Love that hammered carbon finish.

eric23 · 5 December 2012, 02:16 AM

Nice Combo!

h999r · 5 December 2012, 03:29 AM

Horn back looks better but this one looks more comfortable.

100% right. HB looks hot but isn't very flexible which can be an issue for smalled wristed owners like myself.

Yoda · 5 December 2012, 04:16 AM

Scuba, that is the nicest combo I have seen on a bumblebee. The buckle makes it pop. Congratulations. Ps, is the buckle shot blasted as in the new diver buckle or DLC?

Bulliondesk · 5 December 2012, 05:03 AM

Looks better than OEM!

scuba77 · 11 January 2013, 08:28 AM

buckle is micro blasted I believe ...def not coated

Are you sure

financeman · 11 January 2013, 08:28 PM

That looks great. I didn't really like the BB when I first saw it but it is really starting to grow on me. Awesome on the strap.

yachty 1 · 11 January 2013, 10:24 PM

I like it aloooottttttt!

scuba77 · 11 January 2013, 10:32 PM

def sure , I looked under the loupe and unlike some of panerai pvd tangs you can tell this has not been dipped and looks like some sort of very fine sand blasting...and different finish to the deployment that came with watch which was def PVD.

If look at AP website most of finishing on the TI pieces on are listed as being micro blasted

I'll look for my receipt Willy but it'd probably be faster just to contact APSC or a Boutique. It's just the Diver SS tang buckle.

subtona · 12 January 2013, 12:45 AM

It looks Great!
Diver strap is so practical/functional, I suspect it makes the Bee more wearble.

masterserg · 12 January 2013, 12:49 AM

Such an awesome watch! On any strap!

Mike, my Bee HB feels awesome and quite flexible, been wearing it for weeks now ... Soooo comfortable, but I must say the Rubber and tang buckle does look dam cool with those silver plots !!
You trend setter you !!

Tony-GB · 12 January 2013, 07:04 AM

Looks fantastic.

I'm loving my Survivor hornback. It's slowly breaking in - haven't tried the microwaved rice sock theory. However I absolutely love the BB on Diver strap and tang. It's SO comfy and versatile!

boursachi · 16 January 2013, 07:47 PM

might have to look into that if i keep the BB!

any idea if the APBand's tang buckle will work on the wider taper Diver strap from AP?

It'll work but won't look right.
