I'm definitely a fan of the sleek, versatile look of the 44 carbon.

44mm my choice! Not your dad's 44?

44mm for neutral coloring and because I like the new pushers much better....but only if you can handle the size!

Sorry for the delay guy's... Anyway, I had made my mind up on the bumble bee :)

They were around similar pricing, so that wasn't a factor ! After some delayed decision making, I just needed something different.. All of my pieces are amazing, substantial and well beautiful.. However I needed something with some POP! I love big pieces, and the 44mm I love with the new ceramic pushers/styling etc... It wasn't so comfy though and the pushers protrude out a bit too much, suffice to say the 42mm wears much better for me, i'm a big guy but don't have huge wrists..

Eventually i'll add a 44mm SS, or maybe go for the forged carbon and get a 42mm Panda? Have to see how I like it, the piece has made quite the stir at a car show in Miami I went to yesterday.. The owner of Prestige/Lambo Miami Brett wanted to buy it off my wrist there and did a feature on it during an interview for his new Pagani haha, he's an awesome guy!

Anyway , for the pics :) I'm enjoy it so much, my only gripe is the clasp however with the long strap :( Digs into the wrist a bit, my Rubber Clad on rubber strap doesn't do that!

I also love the yellow.. It's such a nice shade of yellow, a bright vivid lemon looking yellow.. Not mustard like the first non lume dials (or was it just quality of the pic's)? They seem to look different

Love opening up a box to see a beautiful box :) This weekend was awesome, the following day I got a new Jaeger Lecoultre Master Comp Extreme World Chrono, was like Christmas (or Hanukkah for me lol)
