lots of misinformation around today. Still, going by my eyes, it looks ceramic. As to what it definitively is, i dont know. As sam said there have been several revisions on AP's site today

They also listed one of the new 42mm ROO as a quartz movement yesterday.

cost cutting perhaps in order to move the purple diver?

Even AP themselves mistook it for a fashion watch so they assumed it was a quartz.

Here is proof. the year of purple in fashion...

self-proclaimed “color authorities” at Pantone sent approximately 10 people to blanket the globe for weeks at a time last year, searching for color signals in food, cars, cosmetics, clothes and housewares. They reconvened, pooled their findings, did their analysis and declared the color of 2018 to be … Ultra Violet.

It is still listed as quartz... AP is known for such mistakes... when Lebron limited was launched they released official pic of the watch with misaligned screw and all websites released article with that wrong pic...

SC11 · 15 January 2018, 04:11 AM

Just to name a few errors

Pics clearly show a Ce bezel and as stated from other sources

Model ref is Ti but stats list SS and blue counters with no reference to the Ce bezel!

I'll have you know this is indeed the year of the Purple, and if the Vikings win the Superbowl, I'll buy that damn Diver! Well, I'll think about it.

For sure, I'll def think about it as I vowed.

I do actually really like purple... just never thought about it on a luxury watch before.

Okay...didn't realised they'd cocked it up before rectifying their mistake.

APRolexguy · 15 January 2018, 02:47 PM

i love this one

ros · 15 January 2018, 03:08 PM

The RG Diver reminds me of a Schumacher / LeBron. I like it.

With it being a LE, I'm assuming the price will be hiked somewhat.

Anyone have an estimate on pricing?

i said this yesterday but, with so many different models (220) and 40,000 watches per year production. They actually probably cant make more than that anyway. IMO the LE is a marketing ploy as there wouldn't be any more than that anyway as they don't have the capacity. As soon as you say "limited" sales go up because you have to "buy it now".

220 different watches/ 40,000 per year = 181 watches per model if they made them in equal numbers.

This diver is an edition of 500 and thats about all they can realistically do. Repeat next year or in two years if they stretch the production out so there is something new. Its not the worst idea.

They never called the Ce diver a LE and that was probably a mistake as it might as well have been one as it was probably made in similar numbers. Its sold very well but it would have sold faster with the LE label.

P2725TMB · 16 January 2018, 04:54 AM

Seems to me limit editioning is a smart way to go, particularly if their production capacity is limiting anyway. Adds a lot to perceived value and desirability. However I don't think AP are now physically numbering. They didn't with my Summer Edition and my understanding is AP's policy is now to not individually number.

If so pros and cons. I'm sad my SE isn't numbered, it would be nice. However as I know from my own business if you number the items they become hierarchical, with people generally wanting low numbers, and some noses can be put out of joint. If you don't number they are all equal. This also opens the possibility of not in fact limiting to say 500, but I'm sure AP would be honourable and legitimate in that.

i like it in the fact that you know how many are out there. I would never buy a watch just because its a LE, but going that route, a watch you want or own its good to know just how rare it is. Individual numbers, i could care less.

The CE diver, no one knows. I love that watch, but knowing just how many there even are would be helpful to know if i was interested in buying one for a lot of reasons.

Its titanium for sure guys... This one is a STUNNER! Absolutely on my list. :-)

I am venturing a guess here but that it might have something to do with Asian customers rejecting certain unfavorable number combinations such as 004, 044, 164 etc...

I heard it's less than 300 pcs ever made. As for the exact number, no one knows except AP.

Does anyone know if they released live pictures for this yet as I can't seem to find anything?

I also thought of the LeBron and even more so the QEII (ref. 15709TR.OO.A005CR.01) when I saw it. It's essentially the QEII turned inside out based on the old QEII press images. I think in reality the QEII was darker than it appeared in the press photos and this model looks lighter in color based on edo's pic above.

P2725TMB · 16 January 2018, 11:06 PM

That pic is overexposed, so you can't go by it.

Open your eyes further, and look at the colour of the brushed crowns, then compare it with the brushed bezel.
