Ceramic Diver watch plots

I truly love my Audemars Ceramic Diver

Sometimes however I wonder however if I would like a more uniform look with respect to the watch plots if they came in black ceramic or darker titanium.

Does anyone know if these plots are available?
I called the Miami Boutique and they stated there are no AP options for this watch. Perhaps aftermarket?

Thanks!

Think it looks fine and matches the screws, plus the orange makes this clearly not a blacked out watch so I wouldn't worry about it.

What he said – but if you really wanted to, you could buy the plots, and then have them chemically blackened.

AP doesn't do blackened screws.

I think the ti color looks better to break up an all black watch. If you want black ones I would try ordering the ones off the bumblebee. Those are ti but DLC coated.

I wish AP used ti screws on the FC and ceramic diver to better match the plots, caseback and buckle.

This is what I was thinking. Was weird the respesentative from the Miami boutique when I mentioned that the Bumblebee seemed to have darker plots commented that she knew the watch very well and the pictures on the internet did not realistically represent actual color but this doesn't seem correct.

I think I'll leave the watch as AP intended.

When I had my ceramic diver I sort of wanted the screws to be tinted darker so I get where you're coming from. That said, not worth the effort lol

AP definitely DID use blackened screws on a few certain models - as shown above with the photos!!
Don Ramon and Las Vegas Strip pictured, also Singapore GP, etc...

And again, as said above, order the BUMBLEBEE plots, which are indeed BLACK - she is an idiot! Or, order the Ginza7 FC plots! Or Lava, Survivor, Las Vegas Strip plots... Again, all black! :)

Easy change to get the watch how YOU want it, OP! And it will still look good!
