Tempted... very tempted...
The first piece came to HK AP boutique and I get a chance to examine it in details. It's a very nice piece in blue and yellow, but pitted against the Black Ceramic and orange diver, I preferred the latter, and leave that for the next one on queue for this piece... Which would you choose??
First for AP ROO 42mm
Much preferred...

For this one I have to go for the chrono
I personally see the all ceramic diver as a watch with a conflicted identity. Ceramic is not a suitable material for a dive watch (I know, who dives with an AP, but still), and IMO something basic like simple white would look much more appealing than the ...
