Well I'm REALLY disappointed.

Confirmed from AP NYC the SIHH 44mm Ceramic with anthracite is NOT coming out in 2014--it will be a 2015 watch

I'm just SO pissed...another year wait.

singe89 · 17 April 2014, 04:44 AM

really?!?

I was holding out for the new ceramic but maybe a new 42mm will have to be the next purchase. Really liked the gray dial after seeing it in person.

Deep-House · 17 April 2014, 04:49 AM

The black ceramic 44mm is out

Odd, on Sunday AP NYC told me June when I was at the trunk show.

This is direct from AP a few hours ago:

I have very very bad news, actually.
We were informed yesterday, by the Switzerland factory, that this reference will not be delivered until 2015.
=(
We are all really disappointed by the news.

Um, maybe last years all black model--2014 SIHH model is NOT being built.

Believe me I was #1 on their list months ago, and just got word today.

Please do...I just spoke with them.

AND it's disappeared from AP website. Only white version is available now.

joeboxer23 · 17 April 2014, 06:47 AM

I just called and they confirmed 2015 now....

She'll sell you the moon :)

Dunno why , but personally i don't care if it ever comes out? Nice dial, but, I couldn't ever see being content with it ! Especially at these absurd prices

This...the blacked out 44s are all very cool and I would love to have the all-ceramic as a more casual piece...but there lies the issue...I'm not sure if ADs will have it or not, but if they sell for full pop, $41K is a heck of a price tag for a watch to beat around in.

Who would really pay 41 for this?

FeelingTheBlues · 18 April 2014, 10:38 AM

Thank you for the update Paul, I find it strange that AP would show this watch at SIHH 2014 and then tell customers it won't come out before next year. I wonder what happened to make them take that decision...

Completely unbelievable that AP pulled this stuff...VERY bad marketing move IMHO. Show it at SIHH, then a few months later, pull it from your website and then let boutiques know. Bad news and shame on AP

el1125 · 18 April 2014, 11:53 AM

I'm sure the reason they pulled was not enough demand for it. What other reason could there be?

Um, no demand--don't think so. I heard it was a ceramic manufacturing issue. Also, they probably needed to unload the rest of the all black ceramics. The 44mm AP's will sell just fine

Ok

yachty 1 · 19 April 2014, 12:37 AM

Is the Grey dial ceramic replacing the all black?

Not to mention showing it at the trunk show the day before the announcement.

I can see that. However, ceramic has completely different look--best to have both

yachty 1 · 19 April 2014, 02:10 AM

Never go wrong with both !
