hi
i want to buy another ap
i have now the 26400 ss , and i'm consider to add the 26400 fc or the new ceramic.
what you think is better.
I heard that ap Stopped producing the carbon because some problems,
but from other side i heard that now the carbon will be Rare.
What would you suggest me?
whats the problems with the carbon?

I'm all about the carbon.

singe89 · 12 May 2014, 01:44 AM

Another vote for carbon here. I wouldn't be concerned with any real "problems" with FC. It's a great material for watch cases and most concerns most concerns seem to come from internet rumors.

shay112 · 12 May 2014, 03:35 AM

i think the best choice for me will be the 26400RG...

Yup.

ralfcom · 12 May 2014, 04:37 AM

Since I believe FC will be discontinued soon, FC all the way.

el1125 · 12 May 2014, 05:59 AM

Ceramic

shahaaditya92 · 12 May 2014, 04:50 PM

Fc

MrJ320 · 13 May 2014, 12:56 PM

Ceramic between the two. The all ceramic case and bezel looks stunning

Randy · 14 May 2014, 06:26 AM

Forged Carbon Baby!

SigloII · 5 July 2014, 07:49 AM

Forged Carbon with ceramic bezel. It can take a serious beating and any hits it takes can barely be seen unless you use a loupe. I've had mine close to a year with regular wearing.

That said, the new ceramic anthracite dial is fantastic. I would skip the old ceramic - it shares the exact same dial as the FC.

yjfang · 5 July 2014, 08:15 AM

That brushed all ceramic case is SIICK!

ra's ag · 6 July 2014, 10:46 AM

The ceramic costs so much more and it's a less distinct watch. For me FC. For the price of the ceramic I would move to RG or titanium Schumacher.

sebastien1975 · 6 July 2014, 12:35 PM

Ceramic for me

GB-man · 6 July 2014, 02:50 PM

I prefer the RG 44! Tried it on today. Whoa! Not sure a watch could possess more wrist presence.

But to answer the question, I'll take FC.

bayerische · 6 July 2014, 06:31 PM

Carbon. Such a special look.

benlee · 6 July 2014, 07:30 PM

Ceramic for me. Not a fan of the FC's mouldy look.

Soly20 · 6 July 2014, 07:57 PM

FC for me. Otherwise, RG!

Deep-House · 9 July 2014, 04:06 AM

Forged carbon for AM, Ceramic for PM.

I went with the Forged Carbon. Contrary to the post above, the case does not look mouldy. The case, when photographed or in sunlight, reflects light at varying angles and gives the unique appearance that you see. It is clearly black on my wrist.

Had I a ceramic available to compare, I might have considered one. They are rare in Toronto. So I went with what was in my hand. I think that in the long run, a discontinued watch that is this unique "may" have some additional appeal. The 44mm FC Chrono isn't discontinued, but following the FC Diver's example, it's anticipated.
