Omg!!!
It looks SSSSOOOO good!!!







Ken, why'd you let me wait so long before trying it?!? Everyone needs to try a ceramic AP! I love that the bezel will retain that amazing AP brush/polish/sharp edge no matter what.

Mike,
Which one's besides the Bumblebee have the ceramic bezel? Keeping the price within reason, of course.

Mark,
The Bumblebee IS the most cost effective (read cheapest) ceramic ROO. The next one up is probably the Jarno Trulli (a serious consideration as my next ROO). This is within the 42mm sizes. The new 44mm watches (which don't fit me well) are still very new and priced mostly between the BB and JT. Of course there's the RB2 and other LEs if you want something special.

Yeah I imagine the RB3 is pretty top heavy which is what I didn't like about the RGRC. Is Ti lighter than forged carbon?

Forged carbon is air light--Ti not as light.

Wow, I would love to try that one on. Lighter than Ti, now we are talking

Don't like top-heavy pieces.
