Icon10 New to AP ^_^

Hello everyone, I'm quite new to this forum. Been long time reader. I would like to get second opinion on my new target.

My AP journey started with AP SS Diver, I let it go for other watches. Mainly due to I can't find good nice strap to go with it.

Until couple months ago, I finally return to AP. This time, it's AP ROO Bumblebee. My AP journey continues, I want another AP into my collection. My new target is AP Diver again but this time in ceramic. I have searched most of ADs and came across oversea dealers but price is a bit off range.

Now, I have an offer for AP Diver FC. My question to all of you, should I go for it? Appreciated all comments. Thanks.

you'll have 2 yellow watches then. i'd suggest waiting for the ceramic at a good price or just get the SS diver.

Bee and FC Diver are too similar IMHO... Wait for ceramic, SS Diver, new 42 ROOs, or the 44 ROOs.

Agree...but if Black and Yellow are your favourite colors then go for it.

LOL - I started with a Diver, then went to a BB.

Ceramic Diver would be my next move, if not another SS.

The Bee is awesome! The bee will be quite similar to the FC diver in my opinion. love the FC diver, don't get me wrong, but if you have the bee already why not someting else?

The Bee is a fantastic piece particularly on the Diver rubber strap.

Bee is a beauty.

Instead of another black piece, I would look to RG or a 15202. If it "must" be black, then stick to your guns and go for the ceramic Diver or consider the Ginza.

I prefer ceramic Diver too but I don't understand why its cost is much more expansive than FC one even if their retail official prices says ceramic is cheaper
