Hey Dr K, "subtle as a chainsaw" barely begins to describe the APs you seem to have taken a serious fancy to wearing all year round lol.
I know a guy in Malaysia who has a bumblebee which has a corner of the case chipped off near the bezel, and he continued to wear it. Over the next few weeks, the watch started having waterproofing issues, and when sent back to AP, they charged him about $7000 to replace the case and waterproof the watch as well as change out some parts.
It is a relatively delicate watch compared with the steel 42mm ROOs, like the GP, which has an FC bezel too (though some have been replaced with ceramic after AP realized their folly and eventually discontinued the FC case). I was mindful of all these and kept the bee in storage for long years, but there is just something about FC which draws your eyes and heart time and again. It does look and feel like a toy on the wrist, but the heart wants what it wants lol.
