Somehow I prefer the pushers case to be in ceramic but bezel stays in FC

Exclusivewatches · 11 September 2013, 09:08 PM

Looks awesome!

texex91 · 11 September 2013, 11:19 PM

Yes, I'd say it came out ok

PN221 · 12 September 2013, 01:03 AM

This makes me want to buy a GP and put a ceramic bezel asap

Man this forum is bad bad news!!!'

cdnyc · 12 September 2013, 01:36 AM

i know, right?

this was my main hesitation - i am still a little worried though because i think some others have said APSC said 'no' to this swap, recently.

so, i hope its not a situation where you can only get it thru certain locations or have to go thru the right person, etc.

APSC in London said no, but this gentleman has popped down to the AP house in Le Brassus i believe - which i guess gives you a greater chance lf 'success' for obvious reasons

ufboy73 · 12 September 2013, 03:00 AM

yeah, thats what i mean - not so easy for me to stop in at HQ, so am curious if this is going to be possible everywhere.

its a great option to have, if so

mspeed76 · 12 September 2013, 03:34 AM

used GP prices just increased by 10% :)

SCtud · 12 September 2013, 03:37 AM

Looks amazing and hoping this is not a one off. If Le Brassus is the only place to do this, I will book that flight immediately. Hopefully not necessary though.

travisb · 12 September 2013, 04:43 AM

Heck yeah!! Looks fantastic!

SigloII · 12 September 2013, 05:09 AM

Wow - I had no idea AP would do that, especially for a LE.
Looks superb!

TSW · 12 September 2013, 05:27 AM

Bezel ref is LU.26290.115.CE NOIR

iLLGT2 · 12 September 2013, 06:23 AM

My piece is still at Clearwater getting a new carbon case and bezel

No mention of this either

Very cool for people who want the switch, I like how it's actually a vented bezel like the oem carbon

I'm in the minority who prefer the full carbon look however, I'd never change this to a ceramic personally

But cool option

On a side note I cannot believe ap is doing this of willing to do this/or even produced an exact replacement bezel for an existing LE piece.. Unheard of

About to email Xavier to get the scoop fellas

ufboy73 · 12 September 2013, 09:07 AM

id be REALLY interested in the scoop!

shahaaditya92 · 12 September 2013, 09:36 AM

Same here!

Presa canary · 12 September 2013, 09:45 AM

Guess I'm in the minority, but no thanks...

samsmart · 12 September 2013, 09:56 AM

Very cool watch for sure

Damn...great upgrade!

bayerische · 12 September 2013, 11:50 PM

Not bad!

Amazing that AP agrees to customize customers watches!

Try it with Rolex.

ray0750 · 13 September 2013, 02:00 AM

Loos much better than the FC.

SCtud · 19 September 2013, 10:19 AM

I just sent mine in for the same treatment so thanks for posting that this is indeed possible!

Any chance you can post some additional pictures and info on pricing? The vents on the bezel look very slick.

iLLGT2 · 19 September 2013, 12:39 PM

Can't believe people are doing this…

FC everything FTWWWWW

SCtud · 19 September 2013, 01:30 PM

Curious if they will allow the bezel screws from the Schumi as well.

I liked my FC bezel when I first got it, but after wear and tear, the edges are basically rounded and not sharp at all. It actually rubbed off with my finger and dulled immediately as well so I will be glad to have a harder and more durable bezel material. I think it just looks cleaner as well.

mspeed76 · 20 September 2013, 09:26 AM

I just heard from John @ AP parts

the ceramic bezel is $3212

ufboy73 · 20 September 2013, 09:48 AM

guess you gotta pay to play! lol

Hi bro,

I am curious how much is the replacement for the GP FC middle case & FC bezel replacement. :)

Dcmk · 2 May 2014, 07:04 PM

Wow that could be a real weapon to cause hurt
