Help! AP with ceramic bezel and monochromatic?
I'm looking for an AP (probly chrono) in 41-44 but leaning towards smaller as my wrist is 6.75. Want it to have ceramic bezel if possible and only one color scheme. I don't like the color red,green,blue,orange etc. when it shows up as accents such as on the hands and yes the red "daytona" irritates me too. But i do like the all brown theme safari 24670, blue theme, grey theme etc because no accents (are these my best options)?. I also like the 15710st all black. Neither have ceramic bezel but they are all one color which is most important. Any suggestions appreciated...i think all the 44s are accented and seem to be the only ones with ceramic bezel so you can see how this is irritating for me. Unless there is some 42 special edition I don't know of with ceramic bezel and one color scheme. I also very much like the 26320 royal oak chrono but the lack of an in house movement with display back irritates me too.
I think if they gave the 26320st a ceramic bezel and in house chrono with display back and increased WR to 100m it would be the perfect watch imho. Sorry for the odd request. Glad for any ideas. Ps: 15710 2017 lnib at around 14k and 24670 at 17k sound close to right? Small premium for 5 year warranty? Josh |

If you want a ceramic bezel 42 then you need to look at the LEs but I think you need to decide whether you place a higher priority on a ceramic bezel or red sundial hands.
If you want monochrome with ceramic then the best match is the ti Schumacher however it has red hands. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Doha limited is the closest you can get in 42 range with ceramic bezel and monochrome layout...
Other option can be Trulli (with red markers, hands and white subdials) and Carbon Ginza (with diamond number 7, and two white rings around subdials) |

Yea I can't handle red hands. I hate red on watches. Thanks for the suggestions tho. Perhaps AP will put ceramic on the 42mm offshore someday and solve my problem or out an in house in the royal oak chrono.

I just realised that The Schumacher is 44 anyway so I wouldn’t listen to me.

Just bought a 15710 off David to try. Only 2 months old with 5 year warranty. Just the way I like to buy my AP watches so I couldn't resist.

Ginza was my first thought. Type Ceramic Audemars into chrono24 and see if there are any models that appeal to you, and if any are still buyable. Lionel Messi might appeal to you most as a ROC.

Wait for SIHH in January to see if AP releases new models

You are right on the money with your thoughts about what I like. Those are two watches I would gladly wear. Thanks for the suggestions.

I think you can open to the 44 ceramic bezel. My wrist is 6.5.

Carbon Ginza the best option, but rarely show up sadly.

Leo Messi ROC was my 41 mm suggestion. Bezel not ceramic but tantalum.
