Better than ceramic?
Saw this incredible piece. I am a huge fan of Ceramic for its scratch resistance and avant garde properties, but is this model even better?
I think after trying this out - yes it's pretty spectacular but I definitely am not the right phenotype to pull it off. Diamond definitely is more scratch resistant than ceramic...
Anyway, pretty amazing. Makes me wonder if I should get a jeweled model in the future.
Cheers
Peter

It takes guts to wear it
especially considering the danger of wearing such a watch in public
Totally agree
And it's extraordinarily heavy. One of those "only wear at a few event" watches, not a daily Unless you work at a jewelry boutique... Peter
This is an excellent piece to wear at the launch party of your next rap album😎😉
Seriously, this is an amazing openworked version, but it seems to demand a certain style and attitude of the person who wears it. Actually, the piece itself may have a transformative effect on the wearer. It really is a powerful work of art IMHO.
Does the watch wear the collector?
Definitely can see this on some artists wrists, but it's pretty extreme even for those with all of the ice and gold. I guess it would go well with some gold chains and a Mr T starter set! Cheers Peter
Hot news! The following internal memorandum has just leaked:
All Staff Memo Department of Diamond Encrustation Directorate of Complete Overload and Questionable Taste Audemars Piguet, the Royal Oak Company (tm) Dear team, Look at the sides of the bracelet of the above piece. What do you see? Yes, that’s right. Meta...
Technically true…
Diamond is 70+ GPa while ceramic (SiC) is 22 (still, harder than sapphire at 17 or so, if I recall correctly). So yes…although we’re probably gilding the lily, really. I suppose the ultimate would be diamond-encrusted ceramic… Best E.
Could never pull the full bracelet off...
But maybe would consider jewels on the bezel...it's always been a scratch magnet and maybe I can have a scratch maker Cheers Peter
Top heavy stuff 🤟🏻
I would be curious to see one of those in the flesh. Not that I see myself wearing diamonds, but I'm sure that it is a treat to look at it.
Some serious hardware!
Don't know the quality of the diamonds but they were pretty amazing. Also the open working was at another level than the "traditional" 15407... Peter
Nice!
But for me it’s too much under the radar. Anyway, good for trips abroad. 😁 Seriously, if you like the watch and your heart beats faster when you wear it, why not? Everyone should wear what they like. Nobody has sovereignty over taste. Seriously (Part 2): ...
Good points...
That would be a nightmare if a stone pops out...I can imagine getting a replacement perfectly fitted can take a long time! Peter
Not my flavor, this diamond one on the left
But the one on the right... mama mia, I love it!
Me tooooooo
Really enjoying the ergonomics and the weight of the piece. I think it must weigh less than any of my Panerai or my Rolex Sea Dweller, or my Ceramic Beast, but with a wrist presence that's next level! Cheers Peter
