Hi all,

Decisions decisions:) Currently considering to sell my Elephant (bought new in 2015) and pay difference for new 44mm offshore ceramic 26405ce. Would need to top up cca 50% of 26405 price in cash given current retail and (no) discounts so not sure if it is worth it. Like idea of 44mm offshore scratch free in a long term, also have jumbo which is steel so ceramic could be good change. Like the all black the most although bit afraid if not too big and monotone in long term.

Whats you view?

Thanks for helping out, keep banging my head with this for days...

Naturally, I can’t speak to which one sets your pulse a-racing more, but will say that my 44 CE (anthracite dial) vies for the title of “most worn AP” with my 15400st

I'm with HK, go for the Anthracite or new Germany.

If size is OK not many will deter you from going from 42 to 44.

True. Size should be ok I have decent wrist size so shouldn’t be a problem.

Thanks for input!

Ceramic AP is just wonderful- until you have a dent in the bezel or a scuff on the case. My ceramic diver needs some service to get it up to my standards and it’s a small fortune! Makes me worried about my 44 ceramic!

Yes have this fear, especially due to size. Also steel bezel and polished areas on 42mm ROO are nightmare, learnt how to wear it in years but still few pretty bad scars...

On a positive note that finish on ceramic bezel looks amazing!
