So I think I'm about to move my diver and IWC BP to a good friend and use the $$ to scratch my itch for the Bee. The deal is pretty much a wash in regards to cash with no significant outlay on my part nor is there any $$ coming back my way.

Pulling the trigger would leave me with my Panda (have both strap and bracelet for it) and the Bee as my two main watches. I have another special piece that does not get much wear but is very sentimental to me.

Am I about to make a mistake ? My fear is that this transaction will leave me with very little diversity and two almost identical watches. And I'm a bit concerned about the lack of weight of the Bee....always used to having a heavy watch on the wrist. The diver is great as its very versatile.

On the other hand I do love the Panda and have lusted after the Bee since its release and I dont wear the BP much. And even though both Panda and the Bee have the same DNA, they are VERY different in their looks, case make up, etc....

Any input is welcome....if I am making a mistake tell me

, if not ENABLE ME !!! TIA

IMO it's the perfect pair and the Bee is awesome.

time to upgrade from diver to Bee.
the panda will be your Mon-Fri watch. :) or the Bee could be a Mon-Sun watch if she stings you hard.

Bigbadbns · 24 January 2013, 02:39 PM

Definitely do it! If my wrist wasn't a tad small for the bee, I would've been stung a long time ago

Soly20 · 24 January 2013, 04:12 PM

It sounds like a good combo to have.

bayerische · 24 January 2013, 04:34 PM

I'm going against the flow here, the panda and bee are both awesome! However, then you would have two of basically the same.

I'm sure you love the panda, but I would either keep the diver, and push in some cash for the gap or trade the panda for a bee.

The Bumblebee is amazing. So is the diver. But this is my personal preference, and I think you should do what floats your boat.

travisb · 24 January 2013, 07:18 PM

I think the 2 are different enough and would make a great pair.

That said, I prefer the Diver and would sell the BP and save the cash.

boursachi · 24 January 2013, 10:12 PM

panda on bracelet + BB = perfect
panda with singapore f1 strap + BB = perfect spice combo

1. why you should move the diver for a BB:
a. because you will maintain the steel look in the rotation by keeping the panda
b. because you will have more colour and diversity from the red and black and it will be more noticeable once you add the yellow
c. because diver + panda is a lot more 'the same' than BB and Panda combo in terms of overall FEEL

DO IT

Andrés G · 24 January 2013, 10:40 PM

It seems to me, that you want to keep the Diver. I think you should sell the BP (that you don't wear much) and add cash to get the BB.

orangedial · 24 January 2013, 11:15 PM

Go ahead, and show us the photo!
You can always buy back the Diver later

Hanz079 · 24 January 2013, 11:16 PM

Forged carbon is da bomb... I'd do it...

AK797 · 24 January 2013, 11:25 PM

Not a huge fan of the Bee but Id do it as you are and keep the Panda over Diver.

Submarino · 25 January 2013, 12:00 AM

I think that's a great move. Two perfect watches is the ideal rotation to be quite frank. The Panda with bracelet offers a very different look than with the strap and the BB is just gorgeous.
