Just to ensure people know it's gen, you should never remove that APSF stickerIt's here! Long journey to get here but I got it.
About to size it to get a better idea, but so far I think it's a good fit on my under 6.5" wrist. Noticed not a ton of links would be removed either curious why bracelet it so small.
The pictures are making it look too big! However in real life it does not hang over my wrist at all. Thickness is there, but not unmanageable.
Quality seems amazing. Maybe an updated rotor print??
What do yall think? Will post more after sizing it
Interesting take…
For those continuing to consider the 4401’s reliability and ceramic durability, all I have to offer is my small sample size: Nothing significant to report. All flawless after another 10 days straight of usage. I normally wear something different every day, yet haven’t since Ive received the ST and the CE
For those who wonder about the brushing on the SS model: Priority #1 for me is to send for a re-brush. My humble opinion of course.

Ah you have both the SS and Ceramic? Nice.
it's not uncommon to wear a new piece for a month or 2 straight since they are new toys.
I just received the QC. It’s surprising that they corrected the rotor font this fast. Is this technically the v2 then ?
APS didn’t have to correct the rotor , but they still did. Which is amazing speed considering it takes factories years to correct the error.
Sucks to be the first people who got it though.

Who is your go to in terms of brushing? I am thinking of doing the same at a certain point.
I understand now what they mean with these dials, that they are difficult to photograph. I try to do my best though.
Way to go with that croc strap. It looks sharp!!I understand now what they mean with these dials, that they are difficult to photograph. I try to do my best though.
Thank you, wears slightly smaller as well!
Ah I didn’t think about that. You’re right, the endings of the bracelet definitely adds to the width of the whole watch and how it wears.
I’m a little worried that I’ll have fit issues with mine and need to find a 1.5 link. I’ve heard it doesn’t quite fit the same as the 15400 or thb skeleton.
Do not worry, try to size the bracelet in the morning when your wrist are less swollen and have it a bit looser, in the afternoon after a few espressos and a big lunch, it will wear much tighter.
Guys- finally sized it properly. Sadly I do not know if this is a great fit. Could just be because I was wearing my GMT for a few days but it just seems a tad too large for me.
The watch itself is not a terrible size, I encourage those with a small wrist on the fence to try one. It's just that I think it looks OK but the thickness is a bit out of my comfort zone.
Maybe it takes time to get used to it, but thinking i will move this and try a 26331 as it's thinner. Sometimes you take a shot and it doesn't work

I don't think it looks that big on you, give it some time and see how you 'bond' in time.
I think it looks great especially in mirror pictures from afar. Visually it’s awesome. But only you can judge the comfort due to thickness.Guys- finally sized it properly.

I am pretty used to the thick 7750 offshores so I think this won’t bother me. Is the 26331 notably thinner? This rep is gen spec thickness right?
Agree the mirror image looks damn good, but does not show the thickness well the way my eyes see it. The 26331 by APW is true to gen, 1mm thinner than the 26240, so that might be what is needed.
So upsetting, this watch is really something amazing to look at. Maybe will wear it for the rest of the day and decide further, but otherwise may just be posting it up so somebody else can enjoy it
Did you already have the updated rotor?Guys- finally sized it properly. Sadly I do not know if this is a great fit. Could just be because I was wearing my GMT for a few days but it just seems a tad too large for me.

Getting To Know The Place
Received my Green 26240 a few days ago, Overall it’s a stuning Watch out of the Box!
Unfortunately I got the ugly Rotor so i‘m going to replace that with a 15500 Rotor that I have here lying around.
Also going to do a Rebrush to add some Rougher strukture to the finishing.
Hands need to be set correctly and my Long Term project is Building my own Gen Balance Wheel

Yes it seems updated, did not look as bad as the original ones I saw.
What do you mean about setting the hands, is something wrong with yours?Received my Green 26240 a few days ago, Overall it’s a stuning Watch out of the Box!
