Everyday AP?

I was thinking of a carbon diver? I have a rose rubber now but would love something to use instead of my Submariner - anyone have one of these?

Got my forged carbon diver to use as a daily beater. It has been worn almost everyday for around 6 months now. It's been bumped and banged and still looks new. The FC diver has held up better than my rolex DSSD so far in terms of showing wear and tear. It's light weight also makes it the most comfortable watch I own.

Diver? Orange and black.

Yellow and black? Bumblebee.

I'm sure the FC Diver is the perfect everyday AP, and a luxurious one for sure

Mine gets worn like a beater...

Snow:


Pool:


Hot tub:


It has also endured numerous playgrounds, beaches, the ocean, kiddie bath times, et al with nary a complaint. There might be a ding or two in the forged carbon case, but good luck finding them (that's the beauty of the mottled appearance -- not only does it make every piece unique, but it's the perfect blemish camouflage.)

As far as every day APs go, this one's tops in my book.

Regards,
Adam
