In-came-ing!
This got delivered last week but I'll spare you all the unboxing etc.
26400AU forged carbon novelty. Always been a fan, always wanted one. I thought about the ceramic version for a good two or three weeks but at the end of the day I couldn't justify the price difference. (I do love ceramic though... My ceramic diver is my daily wearer) I always thought as an owner of the Ginza these two would be too similar for the same collection but after seeing it in person I believe it is an entirely different animal. It definitely wears large and in charge. One thing you don't get with ceramic is how the grain looks in sunlight and the weight is light and comfortable as forged carbon should be. Upon receiving the watch I slapped on the short strap and it fit perfectly.  Quite the happy customer here ! Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk |

Very nice. I debated that one long and hard as well. Ended up with SS Novelty as I convinced myself that the 15707CE was all I needed. Not sure I believe it, especially when I see shots like that. Enjoy, you have quite a 44MM collection building up!

Awesome J! Love the 44mm FC!
And yes to the other poster, J has probably the most extensive AP collection on TRF hands down. |

Congrats! I am still waiting to see that all-ceramic 44mm ROO with the anthracite dial that hopefully AP will finally produce and have available this year.

Congrats!!
I considered all the 44's, they are all awesome. But I liked the FC the most. Hope you'll enjoy yours as much as I do mine. |

Very nice! I have to have a short strap on all my 44s but given that I love my rose gold novelty and that didn't feel too big I went for the FC. The titanium schumi is still my favorite 44mm AP Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk |
