Hate to be a downer but I am not a fan of ceramic in general...much less the entire case made out of the stuff. Further, I really hate date windows anywhere but 3:00 or 6:00 (preference being the latter). 4:30? Yuck.

I like. Nicer than any of the other Fastriders in my opinion.

What's the difference between this one and the others they had? Guess I don't see it.

Color combination. Current lineup has red accents and also bright yellow, green, etc dials. This, being monochromatic takes it IMHO to a different level. Anxiously waiting to see it in the flesh, I am sure it will look sharp! Once again, a Tudor. chrono. Date. For that price...hard not to think about it it it!

so its basically just a new colour scheme?

is it the same movement as the previous fast riders?

cheers

Yes. It is the ETA based 7753 automatic.

I am with Geraldo. I like the murdered out monochromatic look with the bronze and splash of red. And a chrono with a date, kind of cool.

Will have to see it in the flesh.

This^^^^^^^^

I've always liked the watch but never liked the gold or red colors. This is the perfect black watch for ME. Ton of watch for the money! Very excited!

Pretty dope. Tried on the black and red but couldn't pull it off. Too big

Ceramic case, deployment, date, chrono, black and white, black leather strap with white accents, what is not to like. Less than half the price of DSOTM.

So they've taken the 42000CN, changed the colour of the indicies and hands, and co-branded with Ducati. Meh.

It's always been quietly (no logos) branded with Ducati.

That's it. Also just read that it will be more limited and has to be ordered.

I don't see much difference other than color either. It may not be the right thing to say with emotions running high over a new release, but I'm slightly confused with the excitement shown thus far. It seems that this model wasn't all that well liked before so not sure why a blacked out version would change that when most was against the blacked out Rolexes offered by several of the more well known third parties (bamford, blaken, etc...).
