That's really a great looking watch. Darn close to perfect.

 

MM has it at a fair price least expensive NIB BB is 23+ ...

Also if you are saying the new rubber/ large tang is not good, it is a total winner compared to the crap deploy/skinny rubber found on all the past divers and ROO. I have owned them all in every variations so I have alot of wrist time.

As well honestly the Diver is so so so boring to look at I had each of them no more then a week.

 

i was referring to MeanMachine with MM, who did you have in mind who has it for sale?
on the contrary regarding the large tang, i wasn't on board when i got the GP but have come to realize, as you say, that it IS more comfortable and it IS a winner.
what i meant with 'lazy' is that the rubber on the Diver + new 44s are very safe and are just larger versions of the older ones. when i tried the new 44s, there was no doubt the larger rubber and tang were the better fit and right way to go. although personally i love the folding AP clasp and never found issue with it

i'm sure i can force my watch broker guy let a BB go for ~$23.4, but i need to know that i will not regret it if i keep the panda. perhaps i can ask to 'test-drive' it for 2 days keeping my panda with him as collateral i am sure that will answer my question.

the original Diver is a great watch, but as is the case with the Safari which i found boring having it for a week; so i can definitely see why and where you're coming from with being bored from the original SS diver's monochromatic layout. i remember feeling the same way about the 42mm Black Themes ROO which i had for a few days. it and the Safari have both pushed me towards the RCs more and more

 

Ha there are two MM's PM Mike from Sound Earphones as he has a BB for Sale, agreed on all other points, my first ROO was a Themes ...I never dug the Safari or the Navy for whatever reason but have had a lot of others ...

 

This thread make me so hot about the BB that I went looking for it online...

it was quite depressing though,..nowhere near the price I would be looking for

 

Marc, i don't trust customs over here, my order from bodybuilding is still held and warehoused (2 days) so i don't want to imagine if anything happens with a watch imported! couldn't find the thread/member nevertheless, what is he offering at?!
i talked to my watch guy today, i am thinking i want to pop in at his shop for him to value my panda, see if i like and can agree to a trade deal for a BB!
i paid a visit to iwc, and was not impressed with the watches i've shortlisted (but picked up the BP steel 7 days as a new favourite from them), so this leaves me with the JLC trip before knowing what i want to do over here with AP, if i want to do anything even.
i think i love AP/ROO too much, save for their marketing, they seem to be doing everything right imho when it comes to the designs and purposes of the watch for a 'wearer' like myself. i was the same with rolex, acquiring the pieces i reallly wanted, before they lost my undivided interest with the new designs


Elyas, haha i know how that feels i did you one better and went to IWC to start seeing what gets in my system, what left my system, and what stays in my system!
i believe the BB is the way to go if someone wants a yellow accented watch with carbon/ceramic. just my 2 cents. the new Diver is a perfect balance, though and appeals to a wider market and a much more versatile buyer imho.

i have been telling myself that perhaps a panda and a gpc is too much red, why not break the routine and get more contrast and colour? namely trade the Panda for a Bumble, and when i thought 'but doesnt that make too much black? in the carbon on both + ceramic', i told myself that is fine because i have the rollies on bracelets for the steel look as well as have a much more scratch-resistant ROO in the bb's ceramic

obviously way too much going on in my head; but i love this phase of asking questions waiting for answers on the wrist

I love both,..really

and there is not too much black imo...the yellow diver wins in this comparo

 

When is the new carbon being released?

I would love to see this at 18k. Means you could probably get one for 17ish when all said and done.

I am gonna keep my SS for now. I was gonna get a Rose Gold RO Chrono, but love my Sediqqhi Titanium very much. Won't be switching it for a while.

the new diver is priced at $29,200.00. so kinda far from the 18k... i like the look. can't wait to try it on.
