Icon10 Carbon owners, if it is sunny outside, grab your cameras.

The weather here in Virginia is perfect, clear skies, perfect temperature.

Carbon owners: take a pic shooting the beauty of the carbon case. Don't recycle old pics, take a second and give your watch a little love with a new shot.

Post them up, it's Friday!

I'm the same - not a big fan of chronos. However the Bee works well for me.

Eddie, nice shots.. Wondering you still wearing your SS44? seems like lots of love for the FC44.. Me too after viewing all the FC photos makes me want one too.. But I might get the 18RG44 instead.. Been too busy lately to do any shopping. The FC didnt look good in the boutique with in indoor lighting that's why I picked the SS.. Anyway, the SS isn't too bad either. It is a nice daily beater. I like mine. Cheers! .. Jen

The 18RG44 is very heavy...looks amazing, but I could not pull it off as a daily, like my FG44.

Mate thanks fir the head up.. Yes I have a 18KROO-RC as well but just not wearing it much, I gave it to my hubby. Instead, I am looking at the RM28.

Hey there, I wear the SS every once in a while... I agree, indoors the FC doesn't really shine, I love wearing it outside.

I do like the SS, it was the first one that I bought, but two factors made me go and enjoy the carbon more: one was the SS model's redundancy in my collection, and secondly, the carbon has to be the most comfortable "big" watch I've ever worn. I wear it all day.

I visited my AD last week, they called me and told me the RG44 was in. I tried it on, and for a second thought about getting rid of these two for that and a diver, but truth be told, for me at least, the RG is way too heavy, but beyond that, the weight is all concentrated in one place, making it uncomfortable to wear.

On these forums, it may seem like I'm looking and fiddling with my watch all day, but when I'm working, it's probably the last thing on my mind, and with the SS, and more so the RG, it's a little uncomfortable for me to wear. I'll have a watch on 12-14 hours straight in a day, so comfort is paramount.

If I wore a watch and took it off every couple of hours, etc I would look into the RG.

Hope this feedback helps, go with what speaks to you! Happy hunting.

@ Eddie..

Talking about comfortable watches, the most comfortable watch I worn to date is the PP5711. Didn't even remember it was there on my wrist.. Very thin as well. Highly recommend it. Maybe I will get the RM28 instead if the RG44. I already tried the RM few months ago, it is a very good fit too.. Stay tuned.

Is there anything nicer than a FC/ceramic AP in the sun?!

Quoted for truth. Put it in my sig without attribution if you don't mind. Seriously, the ceramic, white gold pushers, and carbon do things in the sun in tandem so dynamically that no other watch can do. I know I sound like a homer but I believe it. Of course there are nicer pieces out there, but in the sun on a nice day, nothing beats it.
