Thinking of Buying Steel 26400
Hey guys,
I'm thinking of getting the AP 26400 in steel with a ceramic bezel. I would appreciate any thoughts on owning the watch/appropriate price to purchase a preowned one. Thanks! |

I love that piece! I think 24k is reasonable. Beautiful bezel, ss case is safe too.
Thanks, Everett AP 15710 Diver Sent from my iPhone |

Preowned I would want to be 20-22k. 20 representing a smoking deal imho.

Thanks guys. I was debating between the ROO Ceramic and the Navy, but I'm a bit hesitant to have a SS bezel...
Any wrist shots from owners? |

Go for it. I think that it is one of the best in the entire AP portfolio.

Make sure you get the right dial because there are two different ones. One a off white and the other one is a bright white. Here are the two. I much prefer the white bright.

When did this happen? I wasn't so aware and thought it was more due to lighting? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Unfortunately it happened a year ago when they introduced the off white. But you will see the bright white as well as I just got a J serial with the bright white dial it's just that the off white is more prevalent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Not only the color ... the original dial (bright white) has a much deeper tapisserie pattern that catches the light nicely, while the new version is flatter.
Either way, it is a fantastic watch (all the 44s are) and makes a great daily. It is important to get the right size strap to get a comfortable fit. If you buy pre-owned, make sure it is in good shape and has warranty left.

That's the coolest-looking watch ever. If they made that in 42mm I'd sell my wife and dog to buy one. Absolutely stunning.

From someone who bought one 2 weeks ago. Excellent piece and easy to buy a couple different bands to change the look a bit when you feel the need.

Just bought one myself, traded a diver and a DSSD for it. Loved the diver but the SS bezel was a major concern of mine with scratches, Carbon is easy breezy.
