what should I choose? your comment please.

I am thinking of flipping my SS diver to either a mint condition Bumble bee or the new offshore 26470 (grey colour)
which one you think is a better choice.

New Offshore.
The Bee doesn't do much for me personally.

The new offshore in Gray is striking!! It's colours are fairly neutral and it will go with dress up or down. I prefer it over the 'Bee".

A guy was wearing the 'bee' in the lobby of my building. I was wearing my ROO and started talking.

I liked it, but it did seem smaller b/c of the black carbon/ceramic combo.

I'd go for the grey 26470

I like bee being carbon and ceramic so it is more scratch resist, but I like the new offshore with ceramic pusher and clear base.

Not fond of the bee myself but can see why others might be. I'd go 26470

I love the Bee, especially if you have AP change the date wheel to black. I love both to be honest so not much help here.

I like the Grey but do you have to sell the Diver? I would try and sell something else.

Personally, I think the Diver looks better than both the Bee and the new Offshores. But then I got one and am biased.

I would go for 26470 over the Bee. But would go Ceramic diver over the 26470.

I thought about the ceramic diver too but you can get way better deal/discount on the offshore over the diver. I guess is because of the popularity.

i think you should buy the one you like more than the one which you could get more discounts….. So if you thought about ceramic diver and like it, go for it. i'd pick it over the new grey which is hard to the time for me.

New 26470 for me. It's such a beauty. But then, I'll try keep the diver and get the offshore later.

The grey. I like it. Color looks like hublot all black.

Choose the grey.

Or add a little bit of money and get the GOLD one.
