New AP 26240 with 4401 Super Clone movement is coming

Black Ceramic is worth it.

Has anybody seen black ceramic with the v2 rotor? Got QC pics today and unfortunately it was the sans serif font.

I don´t know if this has already been discussed here. Looks like APS has now expanded the model range ... with fantasy models, ;-)

Ordered the white dial and awaiting QC for 3 weeks. Anybody have the same delay ? It appears that factory release all colors but white or this color is highly wanted and sold ultra fast

It is not just the white. Try getting a blue. .. or a green….

I have been waiting for a Blue one from @puretime for over a month now. Apparently the factory is not releasing stock. I read some where that it's a movement supply issue they can't keep up with the demand.

Don't ask... after getting my wrong blue one with the missing letter on the rotor, I've changed to white and have been waiting ever since. that must be 6 weeks now I think...

Do you have one in hand?

I just got my 2nd round of green dial. I think its much better, the only complaint and being overly fussy, is that the Audemars logo is sitting a little low in the box, as I have seen other QC's that were more centred, but its OK.

For example, this is the old QC against this new one, so you can see it sits a little lower.



Im not 100 sure whether the rotor is a V2, can anyone confirm?

Clearly V2 rotor.

As he said, no more comics sans ms font, and you're lucky, you got all the letters

 

[CasioDataBank]

Curious as to whether the new font has only shown up on gold rotors or if there are black rotors for the ceramic out there in V2. Appreciate anyone sharing experiences if so!

I think your logo is just about right. On your 2 samples the shadows play a big role in misplacing the logo. What’s more, when compared to the gen logo (see my pic) yours seems just fine. There are more visible issues with the APS dial, but those are hardly visible to the naked eye anyway.

I have not seen any examples of an APSF 26240CE with the new rotor. Maybe they are out there, but haven’t seen and photos of QCs with the correct font.

Thanks Rangerfan. Have gotten 2 QC with the old font, which is a bummer. Probably will just pull the trigger and have a proper rotor made so it doesn't bug me (but delay doing that 2 weeks after I get it so I give myself the chance to just decide I dont care).

Do the subdial rings look a hair thicker on this version? Looks closer to gen then some prebious pics.

Maybe. Or may be the angle.

There's no V2 for ceramic yet, people who received latest batch still have issue with bracelet cracking and the rotor is still the old font.

Well, whether this is an ‘issue’ is in the eye of the beholder. On the ceramic model, the rotor is brushed black/grey and you need very good eyes and the right light to make out the lettering at all - let alone the font used ;-)
And I've never really understood the bracelet thing either. Mine doesn't cause any problems.

If it's ok for you to have such shitter level quality on your rotor all G mate, and for the bracelet, you're just lucky and i really hope it won't break like multiple buds reported here on rwi and on others places.
