which of the 3 do you think is the best? Would love to hear your opinions.....

masterserg · 13 July 2016, 11:01 PM

Tough one ... I love all three. If pushed, I'd pick the GP with a ceramic bezel and black date wheel. There is a considerable price gap between those three though.

That said, it is hard to argue with this:

Carbon novelty, for me. I think the survivor is a little garish, personally.

Carbon novelty for me. Simple and stealthy.

I like the Novelties, they have a lot going on but not too much, still more watch than spacecraft.

44mm, Survivor, GP.

s14roller · 14 July 2016, 12:08 PM

I've had both the 44FC and GP. Not really a fan of the survivor. I think the GP with a ceramic bezel is a great piece, as I love the red dial.

Thanks for all of your input.....majority here is FC44......really like the GP with ceramic bezel but some people are saying if you modify a watch it will loose it's value, don't know if thats true with the GP's case.

Not in this case ... AP makes a custom ceramic bezel for the GP due to wear issues with the FC bezel. It is not cheap though .... so this is an AP sanctioned upgrade.

Here are a couple pics lifted from the internet:

and here are a couple old pics of my 44, just because ... I think both watches are amazing.

Novelty means new model for that year. 44mm are no longer novelty.

eonflux · 15 July 2016, 01:42 AM

Ceramic bezel and FC case is a great combo!

singe89 · 15 July 2016, 01:58 AM

Amazing pics guys! Love forged carbon! So unique looking, comfortable and durable.
