Not bad, but I still prefer it on black rubber strap. That total black look with orange minute hand and part of the diving scale is just wow!

What this gent said. Already having your white on steel AP44 combo but is making me consider getting the orange strap for my CE diver as well.

Looks great!

This is my favourite Diver, I think it looks really good on the yellow strap.

Does the FC have any delamination issues? I mean of the type that you sometimes see on the FC Grand Prix.

Well, I was the second owner of this and did have the mid case replaced at last service. I'm not sure what the previous owner did but between the plots, it developed some odd mark, which I kept rubbing at as if it was going to magically disappear. It got worse and I bit the bullet, that was almost 2 years ago and no issues with the new one at all.

What was the cost of replacing the FC case if you don’t mind me asking?

APSC did discount it a bit but i recall it still being almost $4000. Would have to pull the invoice to get you an exact amount but it was in the $3500-$4000 ballpark.

Pulled it. It was actually $2420, think the retail price was $4000 or so. My total bill was $3500.

That’s good to know, thanks for the info!

I like the look of the FC diver but was weary of not being able to refinish the carbon. Helps knowing the cost down the line if a case replacement becomes necessary.

Wow, would have guessed way higher. Very fair price I think.

The case on my GP has been solid without issue.

I think the orange works really well with the black, I really like it. I tried an orange strap on my Summer Edition but it just didn't work somehow.
