Bumble Bee or Las Vegas?
My AD just got the bumble bee in which is supposely a very hard piece to get. I'm very interested, love the carbon case, But there is too much yellow in the dial IMO.
I like the Vegas edition because its all black and have the PVD case. Which one do you guys prefer?
Thanks

IMO, it really comes down to...
Hi marcus75, Did your AD get the bumblebee with the newer dial? I've seen and handled both (one of the first production pieces of the bumblebee, and the Vegas ROO LE at Las Vegas AP AD's). The red bezel ring and hour markers are really nice on the Vegas L...
