My pleasure :-)
I apologize for not having a more formal rollout of new releases. I was at my office and an email came in without notice. I'm unable to make proper postings from work, and need time to review information.
The ceramic bracelet sure carries a premium.
I recall the USD of the Montoya - I want to say $19,600. And that was in a day when discounts were very common, even on this piece.
The difference to the all titanium Offshore with grey dial
is around 40k. I understand manufacturing ceramic to the standards for an AP bracelet are challenging, but yikes Henrik... almost double the cost!
There must be more ROOs coming as part of the 30th, no?
These ceramic pieces are badass. But I’d like to see more ceramic offerings like what they had with the 44mm models e.g. grey/blue ceramic ROO.
Yes, this was the really really impressive one.
Reminds me of the recent Debethune DB27 JPS release. But aren’t there still many more ROOs supposed to come?? Must be🤔
Thanks for adding this photo, IWC
It is an eye catcher and I think would be quite fun to wear.
Absolutely. These are novelties for "the first half of the year"
What will the second half bring? I expect more focus on Offshore of course.
My pleasure :-)

I am always on the lookout for your reviews…
but I know quality takes time. So, we’ll always appreciate your specific reflections and commentary, whenever they come 👏🏽.
You telling me!!!
This is the end... Did you get a sense if the bracelet is removable? Peter
No quick-change for the 26238CE
Not sure why, but the CE Beast does not have the new quick-change system. I guess owners will be stuck with the ceramic bracelet. Maybe for the better, as that's where half the cost of the watch goes.
Even without quick change, the bracelet can still be removed by the boutique, as with other metal bracelets, correct?
Or ceramic models are limited in this regard? p.s. Welcome to this forum 👍🏽
The Tuxedo Sports watch, very elegant and sporty.
Ceramic case and bracelet are light and scratch proof, elevate the watch to a higher level. The Black and White look is very sharp.
Absolute AP innovation & heritage style
I like the innovation, but would I wear a full ceramic ROO? not sure. I would love to see AP bring the Titanium version with black ceramic bezel and pushers
Very powerful looking ! Congrats in advance for having it on your wrist :-)
Is it a limited edition for the ROO anniversary this year ?
