Not aware of the hidden difficulty..but if it's the same dimension as the steel bezel..It May be an easy swap..
I will contact AP about this.

Have been wearing it on bracelet coz I feel is more comfortable and easier to put on.

I am curious whether AP will allow this to happen. good luck.

Doubt AP would allow this, unless you are a Middle Eastern VIPrince.

SMD · 29 January 2019, 09:15 PM

Not going to happen.

Betta01 · 29 January 2019, 10:30 PM

No harm trying..The most I get a 'No' answer

+1. Unless you spend BIG $$ at APSC, it's ain't gonna happen. Or you go procure a ceramic bezel yourself somehow and put it on (good luck on both counts).

Yea, agree that there is a 0.00001% chance AP will let it happen.

Would be awesome if it was an option though.

Just talked to AP London about a dial swap and they said they don't do them any more. Think bezel must be so as well then.

I think this came up as a topic before, with no joy on the switch. Hope you have better success as would love to see the end result.

I believe the only ceramic bezel replacement AP authorizes is for the Grand Prix

also they won't change the date wheel color anymore

I tried many times to get a Ce bezel on the SS diver and was shut down. Also tried to get the Ce crowns on the FC diver and was shut down. They were really nice about it though. Maybe one day I'll have purchased enough APs like Roger to qualify for my own watch and I can make one.

Betta01 · 2 February 2019, 06:20 PM

Will b home soon..Will update once the visit to AP is done.

Ceramic crowns would be a really great addition, and visually the CE bezel would too on the diver. But I think in terms of robustness against knocks/ chipping (not talking scratch resistance) I may be better off sticking with the SS even if it was a viable option from AP.

Would be one amazing watch though.

P.s. if custom speccing a diver, I think it would need the turned dial of the 15703 as well
