AP Carbon Diver - even better than I hoped!

Just purchased one from Takuya on this forum. Watch came in perfect condition as stated.

It is truly beautiful. I had never seen one in person. Friend has the 44 carbon and I've seen a bumble bee so I had an idea but I think this is my favorite. I was debating between the ceramic and carbon but I'm very active and wanted something light as possible. Love the all ceramic in the pic but also love the contrast of the ceramic bezel on the forged carbon. It's stunning! Had a 44mm ROO stainless, sold it. As you can see I missed not having a ROO so here it is ;)

Congrats! One of the best daily beater APs. Been wearing the FC diver daily for 2 years and it's my favorite watch. Have many other APs but even second guessing sending this one back for the 3rd year warranty.

Congrats. Great choice ! In my opinion it will reach iconic AP status as I don't think they are being made anymore. Wear it in the very best of health.

awesome watch. does anyone know if they fixed the durability issues, some of the bumblebee's and alinghi carbons i've seen get whitish and seem to chip. I definitely would like to get one of these down the road

Very nice looking watch.

I was at an AD a few months ago and was actually discouraged from buying this piece. Does anyone know if there is there a reason as to why I was told to avoid this watch? Something about the Carbon material itself maybe?
