The new ceramic color is great. And nice thing about the OW is that it’s not a LE, although I’m sure low production.

I’ve been tempted by adding an offshore to my collection and that all blue ceramic one is really quite cool.

They look incredible but you really need the wrist size.

The links are also kind of rounded and satin finished ie not flat links and brushed like RO. Just something to keep in mind because the aesthetic is different

The one thing I did not like about the new 42MM releases....they went to the dial pattern and hands/markers from the 43MM.

I am just waiting to see if we get any more early summer releases before pulling the trigger on the Ti Beast.

Really hoping the don't discontinue it before I can get one....not sure I would want to go SS blue dial Beast. The original hands and dial add so much charm compared to the newer more modern style.

Here are some pictures from the AP Social Club event at AP House Los Angeles last night. The blue ceramics are just sublime... Since there are enough new QP pictures circulating already, I won't post them here.

Thank you! The ROO is tempting as I have no hope for the OW

The ceramic ROO is pretty awesome. The blue ceramic OW will be only a dream for most of us. Very few coming to the U.S. and after all the celebrities get theirs, I think there is only going to be a handful left for allocation for the collecting community.

Thanks for the report... Not a fan of ceramics in colors on anything than bezel... the black versions always looks miles better...

Love the black green 43...

The concept is pretty cool, but just too big for me. The turquoise CODE is very unique. I would opt for the CODE, but with a different color strap.

Yeah, got a reading from the same script in a boutique yesterday. Not quite sure I believe that there are actual technical reasons limiting blue ceramic production, now that they've figured out how to make it navy blue. The new ceramic OW looks great (and I sheepishly asked for one in my home boutique), but the original 15416CE is still the GOAT.

Would like to see the blue Beast IRL - tempting in your pictures.

But the ceramic ow is not LE, is it? So there could/should be more for US collectors, no? Although I do realize it will have very low production which will impact allocations.

I have to agree regarding the 15416CE. Initially seeing the new blue ow, I was flabbergasted and impressed. But then when seeing it more closely, the black ceramic still is tops.

I was excited to see the new navy ceramic but have to say I actually prefer black ceramic much more. And as for the openworked I think it looks better in the black ceramic, stainless steel and rose or yellow gold!

That CODE is incredible. I really love the direction they’re going with tourbillon stone dials - that’s next on the list. Blue openworked is cool but I’m satisfied with my black OW

Maybe it is indoor lighting in micky's pictures but I don't like this blue CE as much as the social media pics I have seen so far.

Doesn't look quite as dark as I'd hoped but will try to see them at APH London at some point.

(sorry Micky, no offence)

I tend to agree based on the pictures and videos - the black just hits different. Perfect color for the openworked too. The Navy looks plasticy to me and I prefer the electric blue of the QP.

The Navy Ceramic 43 Offshore is a sleeper tho. I think that one is really nice and might buy it.

Not limited. I was referring to this year allocations. Sorry for not being clear.

Sorry, but the pictures I took does not do this piece justice. It really is special and I fell in love with it. I would at leaat put it on par with my 15416ce if not better.
