They grey 44mm is very nice, but we know the 44mm line is already very nice, we just hoped for something a bit special in the 42mms.

And who's this Ron Jeremy chap? I haven't seen any of his movies...

boursachi · 22 January 2014, 07:43 PM

Anyone care to make an educated guess on the price of the grey ceramic 44 chrono?

Well we know at least $41K like current model. My AD is at SIHH and trying to get number from him, and if boutique only.

The grey is the winner, like a blacker, less shiny Schumi, I want.

texex91 · 23 January 2014, 04:40 AM

>>OFFICIAL FROM SIHH (at least my AD who met with AP there earlier)<<

44mm Grey Ceramic - $36,900 MSRP.

Not as bad as I thought it might be...now waiting 9 months for them to show up

singe89 · 23 January 2014, 05:00 AM

Interesting to see its right in line with the FC price. I like FC as a case material over cermamic but I do like the gray dial more. its going to be a looooooong 9 month wait for these to hit the stores.

Do you know if its boutique only or normal production?

My guess is that at that price it will be boutique only. Part of the difference between the pricing on the 44 Ceramic and the Diver Ceramic was to take into account that the diver would not be discounted (since it was boutique only). With the Diver now at $23,800, $36,900 seems about right for a non-discounted price. Of course, I would be very happy if I was wrong.

White is 41,700 USD, so a bit on the expensive side IMO

Grey is BOUTIQUE ONLY. *&^$#

This one might actually be worth full retail

I can't pull off RG so this might be the next 44mm I'm looking for.

I agree. Maybe if they make a blue strap that fits it would break up the white and tone it down a little.

I still think the FC diver is the best in the diver line up.

This is just so above and beyond!

boursachi · 23 January 2014, 07:46 AM

does boutique only practically translate to full list with no discount?
is this what happened and is happening with the orange diver?

also is the all black ceramic case and bezel 44 chronograph a boutique only piece?

will the white ceramic chrono be boutique only AND limited?
41.7 is a bummer
that is Schumi Ti LE money
and more importantly a platinum lange or annual calendar patek budget

Generally, yes.
That was my experience with the Orange Diver, though pricing can vary slightly depending on taxes and FX rate.
Black ceramic 44 is not boutique only (hence the 41k price tag).
Pricing of the white seems to indicate that it will not be boutique only.

The blue strap off the new 42mm ROO will most likely fit the white diver

bought my ceramic Diver in Japan. with the yen trading at 105 to the dollar, saving on taxes (bought it and left the country that day), and the pre-price increase, i came in well below the $21,700 the MSRP listed it at stateside.

sometimes, with boutique only, if you can't get out of sales tax, you might as well find a country where the dollar exchange is favorable, get a no foreign transaction credit card and purchase (that is...if you're already going there anyway...)

back to the new pieces...the Doha LE is the winner and it wasn't even part of the SIHH batch.

texex91 · 23 January 2014, 08:53 AM

Well aren't we all excited for watches we won't see until Summer/Fall

That grey 44mm I'm told is going to be extremely limited in 2014.

And Doha was not part of SIHH, because it was announced before SIHH. And yes Jason, it's a killer looking piece IMHO. I smell an incoming from the OC area...better hurry only 100 available.

cmcm3 · 23 January 2014, 09:32 AM

What am I missing here? Is the 44mm black ceramic not identical to the 44mm FC other than case material? Dial looks the same to my eye...

Yes you are correct.

The new 44mm Grey Ceramic is new and different.

They are all great

Looks like anthracite sub dials, not black like current ceramic and FC

AK797 · 23 January 2014, 09:39 PM

Website says anthracite dial and counters, black case and bezel.

there are now three

1. "original" carbon case with black ceramic, this was 2012? or 2011?

2. all ceramic case and bezel, same dial as above

3. all ceramic case and bezel, but new dial for 2014
to me this is definitely the best 44 black themed

i apologize if this is trivial and i misunderstood you

edo · 23 January 2014, 10:18 PM

The light tachymeter makes most difference between new ceramic/anthracite and carbon/ceramic models.

Agree with boursachi, best black themed 44mm...

There is good pic by watchinsider...
