Help me choose FC diver or 44mm panda?

[randy21]

I'm thinking of getting a new AP and have consider either Noob's FC diver or Noob/JF 44mm panda. I still can't decide which model to buy. I know that for accuracy FC diver is better, but I'm afraid it will be boring after some times as i own a SS diver. The 44mm panda is great but I can't stop looking at the wrong dw position.

Maybe some of you guys own both of them and could suggest which one is more satisfying or vote(?)

Sorry I'm a noob here, don't be hard on me [emoji111]?

I think nobody can choose for you. Just buy both then your problem is solved

I feel it's a matter of preference. Just buy what speaks best to you cuz reps aren't perfect anyway ;-)

As above, just choose whichever one 'speaks' to you bud.
I have had most APs now and enjoyed them for what they are and considering very few people outside of geeks (sorry RWI), WIS and a few learned people actually know what AP is, let alone have the gen to compare with, some of the best compliments are from the cheaper versions tbh.

Regards to your question though (sorry, had too much tea this morning), the Panda is a great watch and nobody will know what the correct DW position is anyway, especially compared to the 42mm.
Just buy the JF and be done.

Enjoy bud

As above it's a personal preference ...

Mine would be 44 Panda all day everyday … has got serious wrist presence …...

AA 99.99% of most people wouldn't know anything about the date window …..

Thank you for your opinion. I'm thinking about the panda as well. Will make the decision after CNY tho

If your wrist can take it, go for 44mm.

I have a jf v7 diver and a noob 44mm panda. If you want fc I'd go for the 44 chrono. Really love my noob panda. The colors go great with everything and the dial is beautiful. I had no idea about wrong date window, so don't tell me any more about it lol.

Lol, yeah it didn't really notice it until I went in and looking at the gen FC and panda 44 in the AD. But TBH, my SS v7's DW isn't great either, so not sure whether there is a difference with the FC Diver.

OP, the 44 is an awesome watch - but if you don't have a lot of watches to wear in rotation along with it, i'd go for the diver because a 2824 more likely to hold up a lot better than a sec @12 7750. FC Diver is also a great watch.

I loved my FC44 but it didn't get much wrist time, the 7750 @12's spook me out too much, so I want to build up my collection before I get my hands on another sec @12 watch

It's really all personal preference at this point, since everyone is going to have different tastes. For me, I personally like the Panda, since I enjoy the white face.

FC diver, more versatile.

If you like FC, why not go for 44mm?

I like the 44mm FC, but the color combination is too black, i think it doesn't really stand out as an expensive watch. Maybe i would consider it after i own several APs

FC Diver - reliable A2824 movement
44 Panda - ticking bomb A7750 movement

Sorry i research about APs quite a lot but not the movement. Actually what's the problem with the A7750 movement? Just knew there's a problem with this

There is another option… The J12 Ceramic 44 with Anthracite dial….. such an amazing combo…..

Have not taken this beauty off my wrist in weeks

If you like the 44 and FC look you can give a chance to the Ginza model. Awesome piece!
