looks great, may I ask why not the full white ceramic diver? I think I like it better than the steel case one.

Add another 20k, and that’s the easy part! LOL. They are also very hard to find in MINT shape!

Looks excellent

White strap for summer and navy for winter

Congratulations

Honestly just something I never considered, plus I’m a SS guy

Hahaa and considering I just picked up a 15400 blue dial via a grey dealer I don’t need to find reasons to spend even more.

is it common to see a ceramic diver (either color variant) that's not in mint shape? the ceramic aspect leaves them somewhat impervious to typical scratches.

the asks for the white ceramic diver are usually sky-high, as they're somewhat rare. Not certain that they're transacting at that level, though. scarcity aside, the black one is more versatile. I remember the days (~2015?) where the boutique had both in stock (on display), as well as the 15202.st and .or sitting out.

Thanks man - just had to put Arnold our male bully who was 9 down. Had a large tumor on his spline that caused it to burst. All is well otherwise.

You have to be be very careful..... the ceramic bezel and case can have CHIPS!

Saw yours in WRUW today and backed up to see the timeline.

Congrats! I love my diver, and I was torn between the blue (like you) and silver dial w/ black. And the black ceramic calls my name. But SS is the way for me, for now.

Looks great on you!

So, now I’m gonna go grab mine for the coming week. Cheers.

Just hung up with AP Clearwater, the diver has to go in for a power reserve issue. It'll wind and hold some power when wearing, but when manually winding the crown it doesn't hold start/reserve power.
They were super nice and said they'd email me then send box and instructions, also they'll put priority on the repair since it's only been about 6 weeks since purchase.

ragsk · 15 October 2020, 06:49 AM

I saw this in the flesh at the AP boutique a few days ago. Just lovely

Bummer.
When did this issue arise?
Watch was BNIB?

Just noticed it a few days ago, but gave it a few days to be sure.
Yup BNIB. They said on phone no matter what it is it’ll be covered under warranty and given priority.
Stuff happens.

Was delivered this morning to Clearwater... we'll see how long it takes and what they say (if they tell me) the issue was

mjclark32 · 30 October 2020, 05:36 AM

Clearwater called earlier, they couldn't find the issue I was having.
I mean I've had automatic watches for a while now and I have a 15400 with same movement so I feel like I know how to wind a watch and see if the power reserve is working...
But, hey whatever if the issue went away it went away.
Should be getting overnighted to me now.
For the record, they were great to deal with. Phone calls/VM's/emails - super professional
Looking forward to having it back on the wrist

What was the number you dialed for clearwater? My AD said they were super backed up, maybe I am better off calling them directly.

Will send a PM
My diver was only a Month old And brand new so they did say It would get priority- just an fyi

GS93108 · 30 October 2020, 10:45 PM

If you do call Clearwater then I'm sure they are all great, but Betsy was super helpful to me, assuming that she's still there.

Yup, she's still there.
I've spoken with her, Adam, and Norma. All were top notch

Good to know.

Also, re your issue, I had an experience in the past where they needed two attempts to find and solve a problem, but nevertheless it was solved and was nothing more than an inconvenience to me. So, I'm sure you'll be fine.

mjclark32 · 5 November 2020, 03:04 AM

It’s back and hopefully whatever the issue was is gone
