May I ask why u purchased in the first place given the price tag? Seems to be a significant premium for a ceramic watch…

Not commenting whether it makes sense or not, but AP decided that ceramic should be priced ~ the same as gold, quoting the additional labor cost. They are pretty consistent with that across all lines. Looking at the grey prices, the market seems to be more than fine with that.

OP have you considered trying this watch on a rubber strap? A black Diver strap or even khaki could look incredible and completely change how you see the watch.
Also if you asked the right SA I’m sure AP would custom make you a fabric style like the End of Days although the custom route is expensive.
As mentioned above I’m pretty sure that selling this watch would kill your relationship with AP. I used to think this was an urban myth but a friend of mine has recently been blacklisted so it definitely happens if you sell a watch too quickly.

Certainly will make a difference, but a bit cumbersome as this doesn't have the quick-change system, and I'm not sure OP wants to work on the CE bracelet himself. Changing links is very explicitly not a DIY operation, not sure about detaching the bracelet from the case.
