I just wanted to know your thoughts on a white ceramic diver and would you buy it if you had the chance of getting it over a black or steel diver. These are the pics i got yesterday and a size comparison between my 5164. The watch does look pretty good on shorts in a Southern European country but i can't imagine someone wearing it everyday since it feels like a morning watch.

Obviously a very personal choice...I would not buy the white ceramic. As you suggested, it's probably not an everyday watch and I like to own watches that are more practical and usable.

Nothing against the white ceramic, it's just not for me.

Same here i just see it as a vacation watch the black ceramic and steel look better imo but i have nothing against the white color.

Not for me, though I quite like a white strap on an SS watch like the Daytona for a summer change up.

jjnd08 · 4 May 2015, 12:59 AM

Not for me either.

tcheeco · 4 May 2015, 01:22 AM

Not for me too.... Reason why I bought the SS & the ceramic versions

B. Doggy · 4 May 2015, 01:34 AM

If you have a very large collection, I would say maybe.

Not a fan of the all white look.

masterserg · 4 May 2015, 02:19 AM

Wouln't buy it but I like it. Also like the white ceramic 44 (a lot). Given the choice, I would always go with black unless I had a large collection.

A new strap feels like a new watch

thomaspp · 4 May 2015, 03:07 AM

No. It wouldn't work for me.

texex91 · 4 May 2015, 03:24 AM

If you had a large collection or hang out on yachts in the Caribbean year round.

I think Hang out on yachts in the Caribbean year round is the best excuse to get the white diver

Manofsteelpt · 4 May 2015, 08:29 AM

Guess I'm the minority here, I LOVE the white ceramic pieces!!!

Agree

smeowly · 4 May 2015, 12:46 PM

not a fan, but i like the blue accents

redsubby · 4 May 2015, 01:32 PM

I'd definitely buy one if I had the kind of money to spare, but wouldn't buy it over the black version though.

Speed · 4 May 2015, 01:49 PM

Feels more like a woman's watch - like a Chanel or Gucci. If a man wore it, I would think it a g-shock from a distance.

wisguy · 4 May 2015, 01:51 PM

I don't like it one bit.

Looks like a women's fashion watch or something a celebrity might wear.

Big no no

Cru Jones · 4 May 2015, 02:33 PM

With the right skin tone and in the right environment, it could be a nice option. Tough to put it up against the black ceramic Diver, though, as that one is one of my favorites.

braningan · 4 May 2015, 02:43 PM

Not for me

Abdullasaif · 4 May 2015, 04:18 PM

I really think from far the chances of that one dumb watch stereotype person would walk up to you and confuse it with a hublot..

Same here there's also a new white dial but the original black dial is the best.

I think any black dial sets the standard for the diver.

cmcm3 · 4 May 2015, 06:33 PM

It is terrible.

ec00421 · 4 May 2015, 08:22 PM

I'd go for black..

aleeboy · 4 May 2015, 08:33 PM

Only if I spent my days under the sun surrounded by bikini-clad babes.

I would go the black ceramic for a more versatile casual look.

1William · 4 May 2015, 08:35 PM

No thanks. Not for me.

You definitely won't be alone buddy!

To be perfectly frank, AP did some of the best ceramic in the haute horology, black or white.
