Thank you sharrkey.... and a Happy and healthy new year to you as well......

and thank you for the reply...... this is the one I was looking for.....

I am for sure losing my marbles..... the 44 black.... is ceramic...... it was 18 months ago.. so I can be forgiven for getting it wrong...

either way... when it comes out... eventually..... no PVD for me

and absolutely fab to see this thread.......it all adds to the anticipation......

i will for sure be sailing back and forth from now on....

I'm a fan of black ... With me the darker the better haha. Not really a fan of white dials as they are too loud, therefore I'll have to wait for the 44mm ceramic or the FC version whenever it comes out.

that will be next year my friend, as the SS version is not even ready.

the Factory has bought a Genuine item for replicate, but no news how they went with it.

and the v1 of the dark version will be DLC not ceramic.

I doubt the facs ..... when they do a black .....will bring out a FC .....as AP themselves have stopped making it due to manufacturing problems I was reliably told...

Hence we have the ceramic gen version this year....

Shame the rep will be DLC not ceramic.... I only but original materials....odd as well as the bezel will prob be ceramic on the rep....

So it will be SS for me then... when it finally comes out.....

I sure hope the rep is a goodun after they have bought a gen to copy...

Someone some where must have a mighty fine collection of Gens.....

are you sure? for me it looks pretty simple to make a proper FC case. The only thing you need is a little heat, a little pressure and guy from vallee de Joux that know how to do.......look at timeline 0:40.......heheheheh

From what I can see, on top of the usual date placement that's too far to the left, the subdials also look a lot further apart than they should be. I really hope this won't be a problem with future releases like the Speedy or something is

Yes, the 12 o'clock markers on the one on the left are not full markers like they should be, so the subdial is way too high.

Guy looked chinese... hidden behind his mask.... maybe this was H fac after all......

All I know is they aint making FC for the 44 this year.....

and the PVD instead of ceramic doesn´t cut it for me....

Did try on the FC Gen last year..... and nearly bought it... but went Gen Panda in the end...

Glad I didn´t buy FC.... if they really have had problems though....


The existing rep 44´s.. i would rather chop my arm off than wear them.... !!!

Very interesting. I've seen the black PVD one on Mark's album. But the ones you linked looks like they have much better subdial positioning

It is not on his side, any links?

well the main reason for the mis spaced sub dials .. is they are using sec@9 .. not @12 !! but the date window will still be the tell!!

the latest rumors:
yesterday I heard, noob is not releasing any 44 mm. Z fac is working on the Fc, they have the gen sine August, so it could be a while

now today I heard, the 44 at moob are ready, just one part is missing.

So every day something new. I still believe in the rumor from yesterday since I know which part it is
