FC 44mm vs Trulli

I am working on updating my AP collection and have opportunity to trade FC 44mm and "SOME" cash for Trulli.
I like my FC 44mm but its a bit too dark for me. Keeping it and adding Trulli doesn't make sense in my collection. I have to pick one of them.

let's vote please

Agree on all your comments. You have other 44s, get the Trulli.

I prefer 44 but like black dials over grey dials.

I like the Trulli a lot, but do prefer the updated case we have in our FC's.

Trulli as well, especially for those with smaller wrists.

FC44mm if you don't have any other ROOC 44m but you have two already so Trulli makes sense plus it is a LE. If you can't get the Trulli out of your mind by now than you might as well satisfy that itch. Personally I rather get the new Ti MS if I have the cash.

I like the trulli my friend but the pushers on the new 44mm are just too cool...the button pushers on the trulli kills it for me..

couldn't resist posting some better pix, since i'm not intimately familiar with the two. they are both awesome, but, if i could have only one, i think it would be the FC. it has, IMHO, a very high bad-a** quotient.




EDIT: then again, maybe the trulli IS the way to go? the extra red markers, the lighter colors, the round pushers? who knows. i could "manage" with either.

Cru, I agree man.. Such a tough choice, I love the 44mm STYLING so much, but also prefer the 42mm ROO size for daily/more comfortable wear... hrm

My issue wight he FC 44 is that it's so dark in person, not a lot of POP surprisingly. Why I chose my Bumble Bee over it, not because I wanted to get noticed (no one knows what the hell the BEE even is or comments lol) except people who are in the know, I figured at that price I needed some contrast and color. The 44 FC almost gets lost :(

Slight edge for Trulli for me. LE and also the Cermet bezel is more rare than ceramic. I also like the red lume for the hands and markers on the Trulli.
