I think it could be and so should AP given the ceramic on the Daytona's super success so I think there might be a problem with production, otherwise they would be promoting this more vigourously I'm sure. Forums and SM play a big part in hyping AP models now due to the focussed market so AP know this is much awaited.

I initially wanted a neutral colour for a chrono (ie my black themes) and a “fun” coloured diver. But I just can’t bring myself to shell out for those monstrosities lol.

Just get a few fun colored straps for your black themes. That's my plan with the "ghost" if it ever comes out.

I was told by someone higher up in AP that the grey ceramic is much harder to manufacture. Hence it gets delayed.

And if they can do green I don’t see why grey is a problem!

At this rate, even if they release it now, I’d wait until Sihh 2019 to see what comes out before considering it (the ghost).

Was told at the NYC boutique that they are expecting to receive at the end of July but could be as late as September.

Was exactly what I was thinking too.......good lord, halfway through the year now? and the ceramic bezel models are a new thing they're obviously pushing towards? I wouldn't be surprised if AP launched multiple new colorways next SIHH. Think I will wait....maybe this is just a blessing in disguise.

Maybe it is a blessing but I actually really like the color scheme of the ghost and I cant really think of many other color schemes that I would prefer that are likely to be released. We will have to see.

I like the watch, but I’d have a hard time paying $8k over a bnib Elephant for just a ceramic bezel and different dial.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we check the website one day and it’s gone. There seems to be some unwillingness to release this model.

No without grey, the ghost doesn't make any sense. You called it a ghost because we never saw it not because that described the watch, so when we do see it, it will make no sense. Plus ghosts are white. But grey ghost does make sense and can be a proper nickname.

With that logic when we see it even grey ghost doesn't make sense... and glad you are a ghost color expert... I thought ghost goes from invisible to transparent, so now we can sit and wait for u sapphire ROO... or time to change to Hublot
