HI I'm new this forum. I'm 32 and thinking of getting my first AP. I'm actually waiting of a offer on the new M. Schumacher Ti. I also got offer my a friend for this:

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Team Alinghi Chronograph 25863TI.0.A080CU.01

don't know if the forged carbon is strong enough I have heard the first generation will crack is this true???

Welcome! Never heard of FC cracking but I can't recommend it enough!

That's a beautiful time piece you have there. I tired on the bumble bee today as well it actually looks bigger in person then in pictures. I was surprised for sure.

If you're into Ti, might want to consider the RB2, if you can find one. Most prefer it to the Shumi.

welcome

Eugene-Taiwan · 2 November 2012, 08:37 AM

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm stuck in between carbon or Ti. Both work me

jay1988 · 2 November 2012, 08:44 AM

Never heard of forged carbon cracking either.

X 2 on the RB2.

iLLGT2 · 2 November 2012, 09:40 AM

RBII is just too sick, agreed...

I only have had my BEE for a few weeks by now, but have never ever heard of it cracking... It's very very strong despite it's light weight nature and feel !

Hairdude1 · 2 November 2012, 12:32 PM

Great pics!

Eugene-Taiwan · 2 November 2012, 02:07 PM

Maybe I got the wrong idea of the carbon may crack.

but yes the RBII is indeed a very nice watch.

Willygallardo · 2 November 2012, 04:09 PM

That RB2 is growing on me

Bulliondesk · 3 November 2012, 12:46 AM

Never heard of cracking either. Love my GPC.

Why is your sweet few week old BEE all scratched up already?

Scratched up?!? Where??

My piece is like 99.1 % brand new LOL

iLLGT2 · 4 November 2012, 04:01 AM

Prob just the angle of the pic, and the filter making the edge of the bezel look grained.. The finishing of this ceramic bezel (brushed finish) is so sharp that it looks SHARP!! But that's amazing in my eye's

Yes - it was just the angle of the pic, and the grain in the carbon - I realize now. Incredible watch. I tried one on today in the AP Boutique in NYC - I almost bought it on the spot. Volcano version has my eye too.

It's a great piece, but I think i'm moving onto the 44mm Forged Carbon, in which I passed up to get this BEE... I can't get it out of my mind :/
