I don’t think they were the only ones!

Shame but hopefully it will filter down into a general release in the distant future.

honestly that would be my grail watch. I love the SS PC with blue dial too but this is on another level entirely. Pt is a nice touch, but i just really like the watch no matter if it was PM or not.

Can fully understand that!

One of my grails is the RO Ce PC but know there’s no point even asking the question!

The standard PC would go up for me if they did it with a black or ruthenium dial option, as the white is discontinued all that’s available in SS is blue. The blue is nice but I’m just not a fan of blue dials...

Correction it’s classed as silver but I should of known that given the other RO’s.

Sacrilege to say this, as I know its an amazing technological and horological marvel, but I dislike the design. To me the dial looks cluttered and disjointed, and doesn't work within the octagonal bezel.

Particularly compared to the 41mm PC.

Not surprised that all ceramic is smoking, here's wishing they roll these out with simpler comps too, cut back the Millenarys and JAs.

The thinness of the RD2 QP is amazing but do you guys like the dial? For me I dont care for the positioning of the subdials and the leap year and day and night indicator. Black Ceramic PC is a dream watch for Me

Not too surprised as I didn't think the PC in silver was a big seller (I don't think the blue sold that well either but probably still much better than silver). I've only seen the PC twice out of all the times I've visited the NYC boutique and various AD's.

Well at least one TS here on TRF has a silver dial PC for sale.

to me i don't like the day/night or leap year layout vs the regular PC. However I do prefer the moon phase layout on the RD2 as then there are not four complete circles across the dial. Plus i am not a fan of the week indicator on the regular PC.

I do prefer the RD2 by a lot vs the regular PC. Its not perfect, but pretty close
I cant get behind the ceramic PC. I love it in pics, but realistically i do have to admit i would probably never wear it as black bracelets are not my thing.

I do prefer the less busy more subtle dial of the CE, but I do like the AP marque at the top of the dial generally, I'd still choose the CE.

I'm fine with the look of the CE bracelet. It's the weight of CE that doesn't do it for me...but wait for a 15407CE and we will all be running towards it given the opportunity
