I’m looking at the full grey ceramic 44mm offshore. Seems hard to find at AD and I’m being told out of production? Seems a very short run? Does anyone know the background of this watch? 👍🏼

BACKGROUND? AFAIK It was a very short run. Not many surfaced. I came very close locally but someone picked up above ask!! Didn't bother to chase as I doubt I wud have kept it long term....

...its def stands out and is beautiful but not as stunning as Byblos/Summer Ed. if you want a long term ROO in your collection its hard to find a better version than all grey ceramic in this price range. Schumi > Summer > Grey Ceramic IMO but then they ar... 

Interesting

What’s the hype about the Schumacher? I prefer the novelty shape of I’m honest. The summer edition looks nice but an all good offshore seems to rap-star for my style...

Hype = hard to find except from grey dealers. Schumi is a very gud luking piece...

...with its somewhat colorful yet somber dial demarcations and its special bezel. It is sportier compared to all grey ceramic which appears more dressy from my POV. Its all about association - is 6241 better than 6263! Rap star is more LeBron ROO than Sum... 

Some have speculated or "been told" the all ceramic was hard to produce.

That is not true, AP has no problems with ceramic production. I think of it as a bit of an oddball, we have seen this over the years from AP and other brands.

Did they not sell many is that why production was limited?

Seems like it’s easier to pic up a limited edition of 500 Camo or other so called limited release then this not limited version.

AP can produce and sell that ceramic all day long..

...It was priced right too (relatively speaking). No clear reason why they pulled out. Maybe they now want it reserved for a special iteration. If Omega can produce all ceramic DSOTM case everyday so can AP.
