I believe in the ballpark of about $29,000 US. Give or take a few grand.

you can have a stainless for less than half

I don't know the exact price but from what I've heard, over US$20k.

My AD in Australia said the RRP is around AU$28k but in Australia, watches are always waaay more expensive than in the US ...

thanks guys! Love the feel of the carbon watches. So been thinking. Tried on the 44mm carbon and have tried on the bumble bee before. 44mm is bit big for me, bumble bee has too much yellow for me. Got to find a diver to try on

I was in the same boat and opted for the BB. I got over the yellow quickly.

I provided a 2012 price list that is now a sticky here on the AP sub-forum.

All prices are there. Just look for the right reference.

i would throw MSRP out the window unless you just want to use it as an approximate. here is what you do.... or at least what i did. contact a dealer here (may i recommend Mosco) and see what they can get it for. it will be far less than MSRP. just make sure you try one on and your happy with it before you pull the trigger on one. but honestly i cant see myself not liking the carbon.

but like others said... the SS Diver is a great piece and considerably less cash.... up to you though. the carbon will be more rare i would think.

Au contraire mon frère! I meant I got over thinking the yellow was too much. It's now one of my favorite colors and one of my favorite watches.


In fact it'll match my next car toy very nicely.

You should be able to get anywhere from 25-30% off an AP from my AD.

^ I agree. I really want the Carbon Ginza 7 or Jarno Trulli. Those are my #1 ROO's but looking to spend less. Tried on the 44m Carbon and think it may be too big for me althought I really like it and the pushers. Tried on the BEE before and enjoy it but not sure it sings to me enough.

If I didn't get my Ginza and didn't want to blow the money on a 44mm Carbon, the Bee would have been my choice if I put the rubber on it.

this is exactly how I felt, but being that I have some emotional ties to Japan and work there once a month, I figured there's no better AP for me than the Ginza, hence I bought it. But to tag onto my above response to Mike, the Rubber made it perfect. I love my Ginza!
