White ceramic

Spent a few hours around London yesterday and got the chance to try out the white ceramic offshore. Must say in the pics I'd seen in mags-books ect it's not something that I would give a second glance at but I can honestly say after having it on my wrist its a truly stunning piece. Not my cup of tea but still a stunner





And the more subdued black ceramic



Side by Side

I think the White Ceramic looks great but not something I would have opportunity to wear enough to justify getting one. It's always great fun checking out these pieces though when in town 😄

I love the 44 mm line, but I had a chance to see the White ceramic in person and I could not get pass the fact that it made me think of a G Shock when I had it on my arm. I also tried on the white Bubba Watson RM and I got the same feeling from that. Maybe its just me, but although they are nice to look at, I don't see myself purposely buying this model. The Black Ceramic on the other hand was awesome.

White ceramic certainly goes more tropical to me.

I know FightonSC here really like it as well...I think.

For some reason, white ceramic is even louder than yg.

Not my thing but I do enjoy trying on pieces I normally would not buy. Gives you some perspective and often I am able to take away a few good things, which helps me understand why someone else might want one.

I'd definitely wear the white ceramic if I was given one.

The white ceramic is at home in the Mediterranean on a yacht... Until that becomes reality, I'd stick with the black ceramic :)

Wow! I'm really excited about more ceramic AP's. Could a ceramic RO 15400 with ceramic bracelet grace us in the future?

Since its debut at the SIHH 2013 I have been mesmerized with the 26402CB. It is an unique piece and again a huge achievement for AP. Keep it up and I can only dream of what SIHH 2014 will bring to us! Counting down the days...
