After asking countless sellers, finally managed to source the infamous ceramic one from a seller that had 10 in stock (9 deducting this one), this is the latest release from APSF so I hope the bracelet won't snap. I don't see any glaring flaws in the QC pictures so I'll accept it as it is.

Fun fact, I was told that the main 3 TDs have a monopoly over this release, so other sellers are finding it harder to source it so that's why the waiting times are as extended as they are, nothing to do with the professionalism of some dealers.

Looks great!

What's funny is my couple of TD's I reach out to said the ceramic is much easier to get than the blue or green steel models.

Can you please ask your dealer to take a side pic of the case and the bracelet showing what extent the first links can be bended towards each other without significant force? (Sorry for my English, I hope you understand what I mean.)

I understand what you mean, but I wouldn't feel comfortable asking him to do that as force is a relative thing. I wouldn't do that either to be honest, ceramic is a brittle material and testing it without cover wear and tear in case I have to ask for a new bracelet. I hope you understand.

Some say they can source itin 2-3 days then they realize they can't and refund you. Had it happen to me twice.

What i heard from TD is that many are holding off until they fix the issue with the bracelet breaking.

Looks good

Did you ask him specific about the breakage flaw?
