For a long time I had been looking at Audemars's collection online but never had a chance to try one on. About a month ago I bought my first AP Volcano without trying it on, and really fast I fell in love with Offshores. I knew I will add another one very quick but couldn't decide on which one to add. There are so many nice ones, Bumblebee, Diver, SS 44mm, RG 44mm and FC 44mm. I flew to Vegas last weekend to try new Chronographs and finally made my choice - Forged Carbon. I have WG, RG, YG, SS, bronze, titanium, composite, ceramic pieces in my collection so I thought I must add Forged Carbon piece next.
Especially thanks to Phil and Thomas for helping me make my decision.
Not sure how many Forged Carbon lovers are here on forum, but you must see it and try it to really appreciate it. Here are some pictures of my new baby

6.5 inches, I was nervous if 44 mm AP will be too big (I thought Volcano was perfect) but at first AD in Vegas I tried Legacy and thought I can pull it off. what do you think Mike, is 44 mm too big?

Watchonisto · 28 June 2012, 04:17 PM

Bogdan you have bought a great watch, great collection

travisb · 28 June 2012, 07:14 PM

Congrats on the pick up.
Amazing collection as well.

Ristretto · 28 June 2012, 07:18 PM

Great watch and nice collection

walds11 · 28 June 2012, 07:24 PM

Very nice. That model would sway me over to getting a AP ROO. I am afraid to ask what the sticker is on that sucker.

Sam Philip · 28 June 2012, 08:02 PM

Excellent choice and fantastic collection

dddrees · 28 June 2012, 08:29 PM

Congrats on your latest, great looking collection.

braningan · 28 June 2012, 09:12 PM

gr8 choice ..congrats!!

texex91 · 28 June 2012, 10:04 PM

Bogdan--H U G E congrats and welcome to the 44 Club!

You are going to love that watch--it's one of my favorites in the collection.

You are correct that one must try this watch to truly appreciate how incredible it is, and that it does not wear too large at all.

(Think DSW still has a BNIB--who's next to join the 44 Club?!?)

alxforschnr · 28 June 2012, 10:36 PM

Wow, nice crew you got there

MrJ320 · 28 June 2012, 10:40 PM

Congrats! Really like the 44 Carbon ROO and looks great on your wrist. And amazing collection you have there. How do you find the Bronzo and 372 fit on your wrist?

Trouble15 · 28 June 2012, 10:45 PM

Wow. Great looking AP & a great collection you have!!!

Damn, I thought 42mm was about perfect as well. Now I'm going to have to try on the 44mm again.

From that angle the Legacy looks ok but I know w/out a doubt that my 6.5" wrist can't pull off that 48mm size.

mgent · 29 June 2012, 01:37 AM

Man, I really love the carbon.... time to start saving again!

liuk3 · 29 June 2012, 02:03 AM

Congratulations. The watches look great on you. Nice collection.

highdiver · 29 June 2012, 02:28 AM

Wow, you have very impressive collection. A very lucky and fortunate man. Love your AP FC.
