New AP 26240 with 4401 Super Clone movement is coming

[Reaps]

Non TD price is around 4300 yuan on the cheapest side not factoring in insurance shipping and other costs, for ceramic it's at 4900 yuan, around that ballpark

 

[Variatio Delectat]

No TD is selling for $500's.... but there is a new 26331 that is $588

I would love to hear who you are getting this from, but make sure they are not offering you the 26331 instead

We have TDs here for a reason, I would therefore not at all recommend to purchase anywhere else.

Just received new QC pics, and as far as I can see there is a misaligned/crooked marker at 6, correct?

The marker @9 is also slightly crooked.

Yeah marker @6 is clearly crooked, 9 seems ok to me

May I ask wrist size? I think I might have a same size

only 6.25-6.50". It wears very well on my wrist.

Are they really crooked or is it just the perspective of the picture/cam?
The 6 might be one notch too far to the left, but again maybe only perspective.
On the other hand I often don´t see any glitches whereas the legends here see something.

What’s important is that the owner can accept what he sees. The rest of us are just here to provide assistance.
You’re right it’s often perspective and what’s acceptable to us may not be for the next guy and vice versa.

9 wouldn’t bother me, but the 6 would. I think the markers are slightly off on my skeleton. I can see it on some days but on others I don’t notice it. Sometimes it has to do with the reflection of the markers on the rehaut too in different lighting situations.

Same here, the 6 does indeed bother me - and would always every time when I look at it.

Guyssss is the ceramic version fixed ? As in the bracelet problem, I saw someone on Reddit that said it was ?

It's less than two weeks since CNY. I doubt there are many out there who have gotten a post CNY batch.
Even if the issue is worked on, we probably won't knwo for sure for another 4-6 weeks.

However I do doubt there are able to fix that in such a short time. The ceramic bracelt need some more work. Better edges to give the links more fleixbility and probably adjusting the tools.
So far it seems the first links are a week spot. So it might be an issue with the drilling.


My advice: Only go for the ceramic, if you really really really want it. And handle it with care

I’m with you on this. I’m not considering the ceramic as “fixed” until we hear from a TD indicating that APSF has done something to alter the way it’s produced

If you go back 1 page you'll see someone with the purple dial already.

It's nice

That was obviously a gen - photos taken at the Boutique/Reseller.

I just got my qc pics for my replacement ceramic bracelet from puretime. I’ve asked if it’s been fixed or still same batch so hoping to hear back in the next day or so

 

[Bobson-Dugnutt]

Did not get very lucky on my first QC, not the first one I see with misaligned markers
Onto the next one

I was going to say, they might probably be trying to sell you the 'ZF' instead of the APS. The fact of the matter is that this is a release that they've put a lot of time into so expect to pay $700 at least from non-TDs.

Rest assured that this has all been explicitly discussed. I think the fact that it’s such a great deal is why the dealer has yet been able to deliver the watch. Maybe they agreed to the price before double checking what they were agreeing to?

I see what looks like a small sliver of white plastic on the dial near the 5 marker. I thought it might be lighting, but it is more or less identical in every photo.

Really? If only TDs kept their price within 5% reasonable, we wouldn't need to look to greener pastures. Fear keeps you scared and closed.
