What do you think is the best Forged Carbon AP out there? Aside from the Carbon Concept of course.

I'd say the GP followed by the 44mm Carbon Offshore

Manofsteelpt · 5 November 2012, 03:55 AM

I like the 44mm ROO FC, also the Jano Trulli is pretty damn hot!

mb23 · 5 November 2012, 03:59 AM

I would say GP and Ginza.

Manofsteelpt · 5 November 2012, 04:02 AM

Forgot about the Ginza... Yeah that's bad a$$!

vpr80 · 5 November 2012, 04:10 AM

44mm ROO - Too dark overall.
GP - Bit too much with the colors.
Ginza - Just not my thing.
BB - Not a fan of the yellow.
FC Diver - Same yellow thing.

Jano Trulli - My pick, by far! Love this model!!!

PS - Is the Trulli model the only one that's 42mm and NOT rubber ROUND pushers?

Still round but not rubberized

TSW · 5 November 2012, 04:48 AM

This without a doubt.....

Such a subjective question lol...

For me? Concept of course

In a more reasonable budget? Probably the GP, however I do LOVE my BEE

edo · 5 November 2012, 07:32 AM

1. Trulli - always 1st pick
2. Ginza - second pick
3. GP/Bee/44 - depends on my mood :)
4. Diver - not a fan for unspecific reason

kilyung · 5 November 2012, 09:27 AM

Ginza

FightOnSC! · 5 November 2012, 09:28 AM

Ginza for sure. but that could be because I own one...but that should show that when considering my FC choices, it was THE one for me!

gwalker · 5 November 2012, 03:05 PM

Unless we are talking $2OOk Tourbillon I think it's the 44 mm ROOc

ROO Grand Prix forged carbon

TSW · 6 November 2012, 06:26 AM

And my second favorite would be......

Sure you've got enough of those on?

Fiery · 7 November 2012, 07:16 AM

For me it would be a classic 39mm RO (non-Offshore) in forged carbon, on a rubber strap. Probably it will never exist though...

boursachi · 7 November 2012, 08:54 PM

extremely biased, BUT it did take me around 2yrs of research and consideration

i would add the Ginza if someone is looking for a more subtle (as subtle as ROOs go) look, but personally i find the carbon with the marble-effect works best with the prime colours and LIFE

Keep em coming.

I'm on the journey to get an AP and I'm loving the thread, especially with the comments and images.

Gold dust for a prospective buyer, so thanks in advance.

Alex Ks · 8 November 2012, 03:32 AM

Great posts guys!

I am actually trying to decide between a FC 44mm and a FC Grand Prix. Both watches are amazing in their own way, but I am leaning towards the 44mm, mainly because of the ceramic bezel and the price difference. In my case the price difference is around $10k. Here's a shot from the AD in ny:

Either one would be a stunning first piece, But myself would go GP hands down
