Some Love over for this one too... (FC Diver)

The forged carbon Diver is really the ultimate low-key AP! So stealthy and so excellent, comfortable and good looking. Really pure class, understated.

Great piece, Andreas...

HOPEFULLY you have the flash on your camera turned OFF!!! I read that the camera flash deteriorates the FC cases!!!

It's just a lil accent color, but he could mean that it's a 20k watch and no one is the wiser.

The yellow is quite in your face yes, but the blackness of the rest of the watch makes it fly below 99,99% of peoples watch radars.

Interesting as that's the thing that makes the watch for me.

nice but the yellow is very bright plus I prefer the orange and also it has the "wet" dial and closed back, prefer matt dial and see through back and that's why chose the CE, but it is also really cool, for those who contrarily to me prefer these things it's a great watch, what must be really cool is the ultra light weight, but the CE isn't very heavy either

@ luckybeanbean: I heard about FC watches that the case abrades quickly if you wear it everyday. What are your experiences? But still it is one of my favourite AP!

I wore my FC diver almost daily for 2 years and it still looks new. I can't find a scratch, dent or any fibers wearing. It's now reserved to casual weekend duty but it is still my most comfortable and durable AP. I have not babied this watch in anyway and it is truly my do anything go anywhere sport watch.

I scratched on the lower left corner a bit by accident. The rest of the case is like new and I wear it daily for 6 months now. I hope it won't degrade by itself.

Well I've seen posts here of degrading FC cases but it wasn't FC divers, but at the same time FC is FC so if they can degrade on some models I guess it can also happen with the diver...
