Excellent Buemi! If I didn't have a Bee, that would be high on my list.

I'm in the same boat on the carbon Diver. However, the more time I spend with the Bee the more I'm realizing the chrono function has more usefulness than the inner bezel. The added yellow is also more striking. Don't forget the new Diver will price near a lnib Bee. After changing to the Diver strap, it's hard to justify the new Diver but this hobby isn't about logic right?

How much will it be for the new diver carbon rrp? $25000? if that's the case i prefer the bee then, it's hard to justify the extra $10k for carbon and the extra yellow.

sounds about right

won't be cheap for sure... since rrp for the regular diver is already 18Kish

I know right? It also won't be readily available until late 2012 either. This is why I picked the Bee with modifications. Maybe sometime in 2013 when 2nd market pricing is around $18k (not factoring rate increases), I'll think about picking one up but I'll 'settle' for my Bee until then. I just think the Bee represents one of the best values in carbon/ceramic APs.

That is what I hear on timing as well.

Ah yes Mike, well at least you could 'settle' for the Bee

That's a beautiful watch

The voice of reason, I think your right not had a bee on my wrist yet, hope to try one this summer when I visit NYC, but just love the look of the black and yellow from all the posts. the CD is just to make a difference from the ROO to be honest and for that price I guess it not a option, but having said that for black and yellow combo the best looking of all is the EOD,

Argh!! Lovely EOD!! Although I think I prefer it on the black Velcro over the green strap.
