I'll keep this short and sweet, not giving up any details but i've swayed from the SS volcano/panda pieces that I wanted (Panda the most) , keeping my Rubber Clad and adding something very nice this week ;)

I already made my decision, but wondering what you guy's would choose, personally, and why :) It's been a tough decision

So here it is...

Bumble Bee

or

44mm Forged Carbon?

Sixshooter · 9 October 2012, 01:29 PM

Carbon for me. The bee is a little too loud for me. Just IMO of course.

Agree with you 100%.

Carbon is king!

Rolex Freak · 9 October 2012, 02:23 PM

BB because it has more character and screams, here I am baby.

Hairdude1 · 9 October 2012, 02:29 PM

I like the carbon more

kilyung · 9 October 2012, 04:20 PM

Something with personality!

bayerische · 9 October 2012, 05:13 PM

I voted bumblebee!

mb23 · 9 October 2012, 05:48 PM

Carbon!

George Ab · 9 October 2012, 05:58 PM

Forged carbon. For me, the loud colors are great at first, but over time lose their appeal... just don't have the staying power. However, both are sweet.

Mavrick · 9 October 2012, 08:57 PM

Carbon, for greater versatility

texex91 · 9 October 2012, 09:47 PM

Answer is

Dickson Lim · 9 October 2012, 10:59 PM

BB, I don't mind to have some splash of colour provided I do have some more formal pieces. And I do much prefer the 42mm size on my wrist.

s14roller · 9 October 2012, 11:22 PM

44 for me but the BB does scream with color

eric23 · 9 October 2012, 11:27 PM

I really like the new CF, It's got my vote! But the Bee is also a nice one.

highdiver · 10 October 2012, 01:41 AM

both are sweet. But yellow is too loud for me.

44mm is not bad but a bit "boring"...just my 2 cents

Reese's TimePieces · 10 October 2012, 03:25 AM

Martin definitely go with the Forged Carbon 44mm ROO!

Here is mine again.

TSW · 10 October 2012, 03:36 AM

Bumble Bee for me

Bulliondesk · 10 October 2012, 03:51 AM

BB for me! One of the first ever FC pieces from AP. So different when it first came out and still is today.

jnelson3097 · 10 October 2012, 07:19 AM

Another vote for the carbon

gwalker · 10 October 2012, 08:09 AM

Looks like you have a decent sized wrist and I think the 44mm looks great but the BB is one of my all time favorites. I want a BB and a Volcano at some point but would like to expand my 3 watch collection before I get them. My SS 44mm is my favorite watch right now. I still haven't seen the carbon in person but I know I would love it. The BB is a stunner in person.

FightOnSC! · 10 October 2012, 10:57 AM

if only the date wheel was black not white the BB would be 100% for me

I don't know think so :(

QueueCumber · 13 October 2012, 07:18 AM

Carbon. It is easier to wear with all different types of outfits without it clashing.

Did you pick the Bumble Bee? Is that why it is a giant picture and the carbon is a tiny picture?

kriskros · 15 October 2012, 09:44 AM

bb for me..

kilyung · 15 October 2012, 10:01 AM

While waiting for my family to get ice cream, a young lady stopped and said, "I love your BB!" Flabbergasted, I just replied thanks. I'm shocked she recognized it... obviously a young lady of impeccable taste and a stylish AP.
