I was fortunate enough to try on a ceramic beast a few days ago and absolutely fell in love with it. My SA said it was possible to get sometime this year

Which do y'all prefer between 26240CE and 26238CE? I wasn't able to try on the 26240CE.

brkn · 17 May 2023, 02:28 AM

I always prefer regular royal oak over offshores. Both are amazing, though I'd buy the ROC.

srvrf · 17 May 2023, 02:33 AM

On aesthetics alone, I'd pick the 26240CE. I have an Offshore and a Royal Oak Chronograph so I do love both designs. However, between these two, I prefer the gold accents on the dial, as well as the thinner and more angular case/bracelet of the 26240CE.

fspfsp · 17 May 2023, 02:34 AM

Can't go wrong with either!! I would prob lean towards the 26240CE

m3tek44 · 17 May 2023, 02:45 AM

Never seen one in person but base on photos I prefer 26240CE.

EazyE · 17 May 2023, 03:25 AM

Interesting to see the opinion is unanimous. I think I agree too – I'd feel lucky to have either, but 26240CE would get more use.

VogelPhoenix · 17 May 2023, 03:47 AM

Correct answer of course is that one needs both. If I had to pick, I'd probably take (keep....) the 26240CE, but my answer might be different if I already had a steel/RG 26240 and didn't have the steel Beast.

I prefer and own a 26240CE. The offshore is nice too, but always prefer normal Royal Oaks more.

Sheesh that is a beauty. Those rose gold accents are something else!!

messikens · 17 May 2023, 04:18 AM

26240 hands down.
The 6/9/12 layout and the rounder shape of the ROO does nothing for me...

Vince_76 · 17 May 2023, 05:04 AM

Love the username! 26240 and it’s not close. Way more versatile, and in my opinion, you can see the brushing of the ceramic much better

What’s your history with AP? Hopefully a big incoming and congrats on the way

If it’s your first ceramic, I’d ask for 26240.

I asked for ceramic beast though since it’d be my second full ceramic

GW44 · 17 May 2023, 07:43 AM

If not the ROC 26240CE maybe the limited edition ROO 26420CE?

A few offshores, two codes, one royal oak. Total spend is probably ~225k

Nice. Congrats on whatever you choose

Demonoid · 19 May 2023, 07:46 PM

I’m biased, but whatever you decide, there are no ceramic watches like AP. The level of detail and finish is out of this world.

Looks spectacular and bet it feels sleek and light on the wrist for its size, interested to see what other ROOs in all CE will come out, on the SS bracelet it felt too cumbersome for me before.
