Tks! A red strap might look good on the 26400ti since there are red accents on the dial. I’m not sure how it would look on the Ghost.

agree on the pushers, not a fan of those small pushers

and wouldn't the 44ti be a better beater? due to the ceramic and rubber

To owners of this beautiful thing, how pronounced is the lume on the numerals? And is it greenish or bluish?

44ti would be my daily beater if I didn’t have to wear long sleeve. I kept rubber strap on my 15400 and never changed back to steel.

Lume is pretty good. Here is a pic for your reference.

I agree the lume is pretty good. The AP ROOs I’ve had before have never had that great a lume, but this one is ok. Not super bright, but pretty good. I’ll have to check the color, can’t remember.

Pls post more pics of your Grey Ghost on bracelet! How much did it set you back? Any micro-adjustments? Tks in advance.

The bracelet costs about $3000 US. There is no micro adjustment but it is very light and comfortable. IMO it makes the whole watch and unlike the steel and gold which (for me) are too heavy, the titanium is comfortable for everyday wear.

Hi Hank, any updates on getting the gray strap? Any additional thoughts after a month+ of ownership now?

Beautiful piece and love the 42mm compared to the 44mm as I find the 42mm is a more 'everyday watch' vs the 44mm (have owned both previously)

The 2 pieces that I like is the Grey Ghost & Black/Red with black ceramic bezel.

Just picked up this piece as well. it's a stunner!, the grey dial and ceramic bezel work very well with the warm tones of the titanium case. Pleasant surprise but the sub dials are actually silver, not white as they appear in pics.



But like others have state the two tone strap is god awful. Might be fun to wear on a summer day but it's not an "everyday" strap for me personally. Ordered a grey rubber to replace it

couple of more





Much happier with this combo. The grey strap has a slight blueish hue to it so it complements the watch well.

It looks much better on the grey straps! Thanks for sharing! I think it will look pretty sweet on white straps during the summer as well.

Very nice, thank you so much for sharing! This would probably be the default strap I would go with although I like the idea of white as well.
