Incoming - AP Ceramic Diver 15707CE
After wanting and lusting after this reference for 3 years, I was finally able to grab the beloved ceramic diver.
I would’ve loved to secure one when these were in the 24K range all day, but these really have shot up. I’m happy with the deal that I made to secure the piece. It truly is other worldly special with the vertical brushed ceramic finishing, the perfect sweet spot offshore size imo, and the POP of orange. Will throw on orange rubber and maybe even a gray occasionally. Fits in the collection well with a diver, chrono, gmt. A dream come true. Ceramic goodness in all its beauty:        Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Amazing pick up, mind I ask how much you paid for it? I've been trying to get one, I believe no one on 47th street nyc has one.

I paid under 30. He had it listed for 33.5 and it still hasn’t been taken off chrono. The cheapest one on chrono is 34.9!! Of course that is just asking price, but it’s a very strong indicator of where this piece is headed. Roman Sharf did a video yesterday saying offshores are exploding. He could just be saying that for a few sales but I think this especially will hold. It’s the cheapest full ceramic piece by AP, as someone else mentioned, AP usually only makes their big boy pieces in this material. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It’s all speculative and you never know what will happen! Although they’ve gone up, I still think the quality is worth the price compared to paying a Rolex premium for example. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks man. You know, I only have 6.75 inch wrists and the 42 really hugs down on the wrist, especially the diver without the modular chrono complication. It has presence but seriously not overwhelming at all, especially in person. We are so used to watch photos blown up when in real life they are very reasonably sized. All the best.

Welcome to the club! Congrats! Had mine since 2016 and is one of my most used pieces in the collection. Ceramic is a god send, it’s been around the world on my wrist and still look like new.

Thank you sir, will definitely have to take it diving. Been living vicariously through your collection for some time now and love your RG 44 and the gold sub. Thought about the ceramic 44 but felt the diver was more special and unique. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Oh, yeah! Congrats, my friend, very happy that things worked out for you on this one!
With AP's trend of reserving Ce for their big guns, this one only becomes more and more special. Enjoy!

The brushed finish on the ceramic is fantastic - like many others I failed to pull the trigger about $10k ago...

It makes me absolutely speechless. Makes the Rolex look like seikos. Was still worth it and then some in my eyes. A brand new watch with not a scratch after being 6 years old in February. Fun, unique, beautiful, useable, wearable. Uh oh, what have I gotten myself in to?!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
