This is what happened from a reliable source within AP: the grey CE42 watch originally had yellow dial, violet subdials, green markers, orange hands and a blue strap. It was internally called the Clown. Someone in AP applied greyscale filter to the photos and they were mistakenly posted online and got very positive feedback and people actually liked it a lot (including me) and now AP is considering producing the watch but it didn't make it on time for SIHH 18.
Now it's known as Ghost. True story. |

The reason being I surely hope as much money they spend on marketing and research they cannot realize this is what people want a true replacement for the rubber clad. I just don't understand how they would think a color combinations like that would be a good seller. Look at the vampire for example absolutely stunning with the ceramic bezel. I went from a 44mm to a 42mm because of size. Then back to the 44 because of lack of ceramic |

Still no pictures from the show. I've exhausted nearly every hash tag possible on instagram now. Seems like every other model is there except this one :(

We've established that they didn't take one to exhibit, but the updates to the website following our scathing criticisms mean the watch does truly exist, so good news for many.

imagine if grey ghost had 44 style pushers. . Haha, I had to say it. But honestly I am excited for this watch when they are available at a decent discount BNIB from grey. Not something I would pay full pop for but then again i've never paid full pop for anything except a hulk one time.

Right-on, Sam. Although I will always prefer the look of the 44 (the pushers and the hour markers), at least now the baby-wristed like myself can finally own a titanium Offshore with a ceramic bezel. Everyone wins!

Do we think that eventually it will be possible to purchase the ceramic bezel to attach to older 42mm ROOs? If so would AP ever do this officially and continue to service the watches? Happy Friday everyone!
