44mm bezel size
I went to an AP AD yesterday and tried a 44, it was the steel version, and one thing was striking, the bezel was much thinner in width than the bezel on my CE diver, is that the case for all 44mm models? When I see pics of the RG it doesn't seem to be the case, also when I saw the CE 44 it didn't strike me as well, but yesterday it's the first thing I noticed, do all the 44's have the exact same bezel?
When you look at the AP website the SS 44 does seem to have a much thinner bezel than the CE 44, clearly thinner than the diver's bezel as well, I thought that the bezel was the same for all 44's and find it quite strange that the bezel on a 44 is thinner than the ones on 42's… Here's the link to the AP page where you can see it, of all the 44's the SS seems to have a much thinner bezel than the others, wonder why they made a thinner bezel for this mdel and not the same bezel for all : http://www.audemarspiguet.com/fr/wat...l-oak-offshore Thanks for your answer to my existential question |

I tried on a ss 44 a week ago and the bezel did not seem any different in terms of size than my rg 44

Correct, and the bezel on the 44 models is thinner than on the 42s.....in the same way as the bezel on a 15400 is thinner than that on a Jumbo.

The ceramic bezels on the 44mm's all look the same to me.
I think the lighter color of the inner tachymeter ring on the steel version makes the bezel look thinner. Same visual effect with the ceramic anthracite dial 44. |
