Incoming....
Since getting my FC diver it's rarely left my wrist. The light weight, scratch resistance and overall comfort has made it one of my all time favorites. So much so that I swear it was causing wrist atrophy. I figured the only way to remedy it was to get something with a little more weight.

Sorry for the poor quality iPhone pics.







I think this one will get some good wrist time in rotation with the other APs but the FC diver will still see the most.

Any excuse to get an AP is a good excuse!

Congrats on that beauty! Need more pics... And a review after a little while :)

my wrist is about 7.75'' and pretty flat. 41mm RO to 44mm ROOs seem to fit really well. Just wish the 39mm RO didnt look so small.


Here is another shot. Like many APs, this watch is difficult to photograph and looks much better in person. The blue dial changes from a matte royal blue to a dark shinny navy blue depending on the light. I'll try and pull out my good camera this weekend to get better pics.
