Hey guys,

I'm thinking of getting the AP 26400 in steel with a ceramic bezel. I would appreciate any thoughts on owning the watch/appropriate price to purchase a preowned one.

Thanks!

eal15 · 7 June 2016, 11:54 PM

I love that piece! I think 24k is reasonable. Beautiful bezel, ss case is safe too.

Thanks,

Preowned I would want to be 20-22k. 20 representing a smoking deal imho.

watchluxus · 8 June 2016, 02:09 AM

Thanks guys. I was debating between the ROO Ceramic and the Navy, but I'm a bit hesitant to have a SS bezel...

Any wrist shots from owners?

Very nice watches and car

How have you found it so far? I would use it as a daily wearer alongside my GMTIIC as more of a "fun" watch

Hairdude1 · 8 June 2016, 12:47 PM

Do it!!!

csi-n · 8 June 2016, 10:51 PM

Go for it. I think that it is one of the best in the entire AP portfolio.

Make sure you get the right dial because there are two different ones. One a off white and the other one is a bright white. Here are the two. I much prefer the white bright.

When did this happen? I wasn't so aware and thought it was more due to lighting?

Unfortunately it happened a year ago when they introduced the off white. But you will see the bright white as well as I just got a J serial with the bright white dial it's just that the off white is more prevalent.

Thanks. So new models are produced with both off and bright white dials?

masterserg · 21 July 2016, 08:28 AM

Not only the color ... the original dial (bright white) has a much deeper tapisserie pattern that catches the light nicely, while the new version is flatter.

Either way, it is a fantastic watch (all the 44s are) and makes a great daily. It is important to get the right size strap to get a comfortable fit.

If you buy pre-owned, make sure it is in good shape and has warranty left.

Pull the trigger! It's a great watch. I prefer the bright white/silver dial as well.

beachbum · 21 July 2016, 10:16 AM

It's a stunner! Can't wait to get one myself 🍻

s14roller · 21 July 2016, 11:05 AM

Big fan of the 44s!

DCheeta · 21 July 2016, 02:19 PM

That's the coolest-looking watch ever. If they made that in 42mm I'd sell my wife and dog to buy one. Absolutely stunning.

So you ended up selling the RG? Your 42 RG came back looking brand new! Congrats on the 44SS pick up. Good combo with your 42!

Chary · 24 July 2016, 05:36 AM

yeah I did, I felt that it would have been to repetitive to have the same watch on different metals, I'm happy for now

One of my favorite AP's.

jimmyp11 · 21 August 2016, 11:44 PM

From someone who bought one 2 weeks ago. Excellent piece and easy to buy a couple different bands to change the look a bit when you feel the need.

Would love to see some pictures with other straps

Just bought one myself, traded a diver and a DSSD for it. Loved the diver but the SS bezel was a major concern of mine with scratches, Carbon is easy breezy.
