Wow these really are the best pictures of the ceramic I have seen yet. I definitely like it more than the anthracite one now. The overexposed pictures and direct flash really don't flatter these watches.

I wish you would have taken some pictures of the RG. I passed on the CE for the RG at my dealer.

Even though I love the ceramic, I think it may be a bit still too muted even though I know that is the point.

It is my clear favourite of the three new 44s. My photos are terrible - in the flesh it is lovely.

does everyone think the new CE is the best model? I am having trouble deciding between FC, CE Old, CE New, and TI now.. all are good choices, but the new CE is the only one I haven't seen in the flesh VS the others

I have owned the first three and have also seen the new Ti in the flesh, and the new ceramic is my favourite of the four.

The watches were all in the protective packaging until a customer makes the purchase, so hard to get good comparison. But so that you can see, here is a photo in the protective plastic. The watch really comes to life out the packaging and in daylight, so if you view it at a boutique in plastic you can be sure it will look very different after you take it out.

The watch is of course less flashy than the Rose gold 44mm. That watch makes more of a statement in my opinion. But that being said it is not muted, the Rose gold really stands out on the dial. It's a great combination of sport, technical and luxury.

The brushed finish really stands out in daylight / bright light. Whilst the Rose gold and polished bezel edge become the stand out features in the evening / softer light.

Pics are fantastic...I can only imagine how good it looks in real life or in the "ceramic" as they would say...

Great impulse purchase!

love those pics! I made the order without seeing it IRL. Between the new Ti, RG and CE, the new all black CE just stands out. now you and Roger's pics confirm it.

Looks awesome, congrats, I think it looks great, if I didn't have the CE Diver I would consider it, but the only AP ceramic on my radar is the new PC, now that one is amazing, not in my price range but in a few years and with some consolidating why not, would love to have one, RO beauty and unscratchable, how great is that...

I think you should get it Arnaud, what would you sell? I assume you keep the 5712.
