Diver - FC or Ceramic?
Thinking of the next AP purchase after getting the new Jumbo yes the bug has bitten :) between the New coming soon Ceramic diver and FC diver which one should I go for?
I know they are quite different in materials and color scheme yellow vs orange see through back plus there is also price difference with the ceramic priced lower I understand. which one would you go for? Wait for ceramic or go FC? |

Anyways as an owner of FC Diver since March I can wholeheartedly endorse the material and the aesthetic. It's the AP I wear most and wear every day. Sent from my iPhone 4S using Tapatalk |

I got to handle the FC diver next to the ceramic and steel counterparts....FC all the way.
 I've been wearing my new FC Diver for a few days and its now my favorite watch in my collection. The light weight and oveall comfort is amazing. It looks fantastic as well but you need to see it in person to really appreciate how the FC case changes in different light. |

I like the looks and durability of the ceramic. Only caveat is that I haven't seen them together in person.

I love the ceramic looks, and without handling either FC or ceramic, the ceramic would be my choice, I think the orange/ black combo is great. All that said, with all the photos of the FC on here, it has definitely made it a very close call and can say the FC has really grown on me.

I would go for Ceramic, the look of FG does not do it for me.

I've seen both FC and Ceramic and FC got my vote. It's always so different and full of characters every time I look at the FC.
