AP RO w/ Ceramic Bezel SIHH 2018

Hi!

I saw on the Rolex sub-forums that AP released a 42mm RO with a ceramic bezel. Can't find it anywhere on the Internet...

Yes this model appears to have a ceramic bezel and is Ti, yet the specs says it’s SS with no mention of bezel material.
(Plus lists counters as blue?!)

I noticed how they stated it had blue counters. Wonder if this was a typo?? Also, the bezel looks different than the 44s. The color seems more grey, at least on the grey dial. And the brush marks look less defined. Maybe it’s just the photos.

Yeah guess then live pics will answer our questions before the AP site is updated.

The site never displays the best photos but looking at both the SS and Ti they both shown a distinct variation between case material colour/finish and bezel colour/finish.

Do we think there will be a crazy waitlist for this or no?

Doubt it. The new 44s didn't have a huge waitlist at the beginning.

thats tough. Im going to say yes initially (first couple of months), but then again its not a new watch. Its exactly the same as the current model just with a ceramic bezel. Its probably going to be modestly discounted in a year.

Hmm...that sounds familiar. Turned out to be a little bit of a wait list for the Daytona.

No, you’re absoltely right. It will be nothing like the Daytona, I just thought it a funny comparison.

I think they’ll be easy to get, and I plan to grab one as soon as possible. I’ve been waiting a LONG time for this!

I also wondered about the info. The diver chronos thickness was wrong when it out snd the strap on the grey while appearing grey states black snd red. They both say ss, if the grey is titanium I’d be thrilled!

Judging by the Watch Browser comparison page I'd say the grey and black have the same ceramic bezel, and the grey has a darker Ti case.

MichaelC has it as ceramic.

Now that grey one is very nice. I was going to buy the 'elephant' as my next watch but the steel bezel and the leather strap were two of my concerns around durability (I'm always knocking my watches and I'm in and out the pool a lot). This has just alleviated both of those concerns. Cant wait to see it
