You couldnt wear one in a business meeting, esp with new clients/partners, it would be too distracting and would heap more neg connotations on you than pos.

I like it. Its most probably next on the list. It is competing with the RG 41mm ROC.

Ooh. That's a tough call.

I agree with you somewhat, but the majority of the time when I am in business attire my watch is under my cuff and rarely is seen so I'm not worried about that as much. I'm more worried about all the yellow being so flashy all the time. Don't get me wrong I think it looks amazing, I just don't want to get tired of it. I'm also checking out the 44mm Black FC, though it may be a little outside my price range. I think it may be a better daily wearer. The only drawback is the 44 mm size and my 6.5" wrist. The BB would probably definitely fit and look better. Decisions decisions....

Hey Blake, my thoughts were your thoughts... I thought I'd get sick and tired of the yellow, bored etc! It has not happened, after a few months, and I just grow even closer to it... It has a charm to it and with its yellow, it's not an overbearing look as I've said. I've caught a glimpse in Nordstrom in the mirror while it was on my wrist and checked it out, the yellow isn't very visible or bright at least beyond a few feet, just looks like a black watch !

Have you tried it in person?

bpetty13 · 25 January 2013, 03:28 PM

No, I haven't ever tried one on as I don't believe there are any ADs in Texas. One question I have is how come in all of the above pics the yellow seconds hands are in the reset position? Are these watches just not wound when these pics were taken? That would be a crazy coincidence! There's got to be a reason so please forgive me for my lack of knowledge with APs. They are pretty new to me.

The yellow hand is the stopwatch hand. The seconds are read on the 12 o'clock sub dial. You'll note those are in different positions.

iLLGT2 · 25 January 2013, 04:10 PM

As bobby said. The yellow seconds hand is for the chronograph function seconds... The actual running seconds subdial is at 12 !

bpetty13 · 25 January 2013, 04:22 PM

Hmmm not sure I like that feature. It just seems weird that one of the main hands on the dial would be one that I would think isn't used very much. Almost seems like it would be obtrusive. Would it be okay to leave the stopwatch function on all the time so that it worked as your seconds hand? I've never had a chrono watch so please forgive my newb questions. Do all the AP chrono watches work like this regarding the seconds hand (44 FC, Trulli, GP, 44 SS w/white dial & ceramic bezel)?

Blake, yes, almost all chronos function this way. Daytonas, Speedmasters, Navitimers all function with the normal second hand stationary until the chrono function is engaged. Of course you can leave it just ticking, which also means the two subdials (minute and hour totalizers) will be moving as well. Only downside is it might lower your power reserve.

iLLGT2 · 25 January 2013, 04:44 PM

Ron is spot on !

All chronos function like this for the most part
