Don't think Ceramic is available for purchase yet, at least it is not in NYC.

My order of preference would be:

FC
Ceramic (should be ut in Sept)
SS

The US won't get the Ceramic Diver until September.

As for my preference, right now it goes:

1. FC
2. SS
3. Ceramic.

And yes, if I could own all three at the same time, I would in a heartbeat.

Here's a shot of the SS and FC Divers together:

(Reluctantly, I sold my SS Diver, since I needed the money to fund some home repairs.)

Regards,
Adam

PS - Oh, and there is no right or wrong answer here, since each version is possessed of its own particular charms and strengths.

I love the simplicity of the SS diver, but admit I'd get a FC one if they dropped the yellow, and made it available in all black. The Ceramic orange just doesn't grab me, either.

Ah yes... I just wish there was a 42mm option. That would be my ideal.

The SS Diver is the ultimate SS AP for me, if I could only have one non-precious metal AP that would be my choice.
