Wow. I am surprised to see this. Didn’t know that ceramic would scratch that bad!! One of the reasons for me to want to own a ceramic piece, is (was) the fact that it doesn’t scratch!

I pretty much daily mine and it doesn't have a single scratch. Been a year. I avoid letting people who wear diamonds handle it.

Willing to bet that is transferance from whatever it rubbed against and not actual scratches. I noticed the same on some of my ceramic pieces and it actually will come off with a good cleaning or using a pencil eraser usually.

I’ll give it another shot - i used wrist clean and it still didn’t come off. It’s desk dives and my desk isn’t diamond so hopefully is just that

This 39 wears very differently than 41. Depending on mood, preference changes. All good!

Try a rubber to remove these "scratches", sounds like a metal deposit to me. I've seen that a few times, I was working at Hublot and 99% of the time it was a deposit of something even if it's hard to remove. Let us know :)

Excellent strap choice. These two color straps are great. I wish they had more such options, including for the 43mm ROOs.

Tried this on today at AP House, not sure the diamonds are for me, seeing if I can swap a steel bezel in before ordering, otherwise perfect, love the light blue dial.

You would be changing the ref then? You don’t mind?

Not in the slightest, would keep the diamond bezel and swap it back if I ever sell it.

Can anyone do me a quick favor and photoshop a steel bezel on it?

That kinda seems like a waste of money (but not my money!)
I think it looks pretty sweet with the diamonds- but I have no class

Looks even better in person! Wife got the call for one in January, but couldn't work out the travel schedule for pick-up - next one, hopefully.

I don’t have the software (or skill) to photoshop the steel bezel, but at least in my mind’s eye it would look excellent along with those subdials.
I didn’t realize that AP would be willing to swap out a bezel. But this would be a great look on this piece.
