Welcome to the forum!

Any of the options listed is a winner. It is a matter of personal preference. If you are looking for an everyday watch, then I would suggest 1. or 2. Ceramic costs more and is Boutique only. GP Carbon is a fantastic looking watch, but more like a weekend watch and not so durable compared to the other options. But as said, it is a matter of personal preference, can't go wrong with either option. Ti44 and carbon are within your budget, Ceramic costs over 26k (probably starting from >30k) and may be hard to get.

IThank you for the input, is it carbon hold more value than ti? (I lost 10% value of my elephant in 1 year, i thought elephant hold more value since not so many people wear this roo colour way)

Honestly am in love with gp, but i heard so much about ap carbon bad durability.

Difficult to say. If you are concerned about durability, maybe FC with ceramic bezel might also be an option. If you choose FC GP, just make sure it is in mint condition as FC is difficult to refinish to its original state. Also colors of GP dial (red) may fade over time if exposed to excessive sun light. There is a thread in this forum about this comparing conditions of two FC GP watches.

I would say buy what you like and don’t worry too much about value retention.

I would get the CE with anthracite dial, stunning piece with elements of both latest CE and the TI.

ceramic. Either the new one or anthracite dial. Both are great so depends on preference.

Let me add a word of support for the anthracite CE...not too much of a stretch from your current budget

I have Ti44 and could not be happier. It is durable, but lighter and more comfortable than steel, gold or ceramic. Having said that, I like the old and new ceramic as well. Actually, I like all of them :) I suggest you try them on if possible and then make a decision.

Anthrachite dial looks awesome!! Need to see it in person

Just contacted one of grey dealer, novely ce 2017 (used) selling around 37k usd, damn expesive tho
