Marcus or Forged Carbon.

I have been thinking about purchasing either the Marcus or FC, but I am still undecided as to which one. My wrist is rather small, so I think the 42mm Marcus would wear better but then again I really like the 44 FC.

Any thoughts?

Not a diver fan? I have a 7.25-7.5 inch wrist and feel the 44's are too big, but that's a preference. The FC Diver is so light, you hardly notice it on the wrist sometimes, and with a few light modding it is perfect.

Great! Now I have another option besides the other two. Whats mods do you suggest?

Thanks.

Crystal and case polish, the basics but steps it's quality up significantly. Getting a 'good one' counts too as far as the FC and rotating bezel alignment goes which is why it's best in my opinion to buy off another member.

Will look into it, KC. Thanks for the advice.

The Marcus (white editon) is still one of my favorite AP's.

What is the FC polishing supposed to do? It's fantasy, just like a 2xAR crystal. :lol:

I agree. It fits and looks much better on my small wrist than any of my 44mm Ap's.

The gen AP crystal is always single AR, and the gen FC is matte with pronounced marble grains. The mods you suggested actually make it look more inaccurate vs gen, and I will avoid these.
Instead I will recommend the cyclop, datewheel, hands and tachy mods if it’s a regular 42mm. Leave the crystal and case alone, or matte the case and refinish it to accentuate the marbling, instead of polishing it.
