Very pleased to share with friends here on my new incoming! My 6th AP, freshly out from AP Singapore Boutique, I must say that both the watch and boutique services are top notch. I couldn't have asked for more from my favourite watch house!

I've considered the Ceramic Diver for quite a while before pulling the trigger. It is my first AP with an in-house 3120 movement... Diver is the first-of-its-kind modern AP with 300m water resistance and a rotating bezel feature... It is also my first all-black watch with some orange content on the dial which is quite related to my forum nickname!

The finishing of the black ceramic case and bezel is indeed second to none IMO. The trademark vertical brushed lines complete the authentic look of the Royal Oak. The chunky watch is pretty light due to its Ceramic/Titanium material combo. It wears very comfortably on my wrist I can wear it whole day. The titanium display case back allows a full view of the in-house automatic movement with the beautiful gold rotor.

Being "boutique exclusive", it makes it an easy choice to purchase directly from the boutique as the stock is more readily available. With the prospect of discontinuation looming, I'm pleased that this purchase from the boutique came timely as the warranty is extended to 5 years instead of the usual 2+1 years. It certainly gives me a lot of confidence to use the watch the way it is designed for, and I hope to share my user experience some time later.

Thanks for sharing my joy!

Big Congrats Wayne!!

lapince · 25 May 2015, 10:51 AM

Man I am so disgusted it's discontinued, always wanted a ceramic watch and this IMO was the best in the market, but to get one soon I would have to flip my beloved 5712 and that's just something I can't do, even if I could get one back after, it was my first PP and after 1 year of 24/7 wrist time it's almost like new, especially it's a great daily whereas I don't think I could put 24/7 a ceramic diver, I suppose they're going to be almost impossible to get soon since I don't think they made so many of them...

jjnd08 · 25 May 2015, 10:57 AM
