NWA just in time for Christmas!
Just in time for Christmas, my new AP 26240ce arrived today. First time actually handling it in person and the watch is way better IRL than in photos I've seen. Another ceramic addition to our AP collection. We are big fans of AP ceramic! I can't thank my SA and boutique enough in making this happen in a very short time period.

Interesting that you would want that after having the openwork..
I’ve handled one and like you said, so much nicer in person! Would love to get anything ceramic

There is a back story to how we got to this piece. lol. This was decided only about 2 months ago as this is the only AP purchase for me this year.

Congrats Mike! You have a crazy lineup of ceramics.

Black is the most interesting to me - it seems to show off the brushing better, and it’s just a bit more versatile

Thanks bro. AP ceramic is amazing and you are right, the black does show off the brushing better. Don't get me wrong though, I would give up an organ for a blue or white ceramic RO.

Thanks! You asking for a CE OW or QP? Either way, that would be epic as you already have the 15407st.
