OMG that green is insane. Might be the winner if they mess up the blue (hope they do not!!!)

Ceramic is on another level, simply stunning WOW

Looks as though crooked 3/9 markers are a common flaw - but that's a very minor nit to pick.

Lovely looking for the most part!

Thanks for sharing gents.
Yeah noticed that, i don't think the angles are doing it any favors with the shadows on the bottom of the stick, in the video it was not really noticeable to me when light was hitting at diff angles.

Sounds good! That’s why I didn’t post any pictures in the first place. Here are a few for all of your viewing pleasures. As legend said, no opinions please so we can continue to follow the rules. I did approve QC at this time now even with a few minor things that I see. They won't take away the enjoyment of the watch for me so I approved it. Thanks @legend . Can't wait to order a few modded chronos from the master himself! Especially with how good the green looks!

Did you ask about the weight of ceramic version? I ordered 1 too im very exciting

I did ask, but I approved either way. If I don’t get a response I’ll put it on a scale when I get in hand. Especially with the videos seems like they have done a great job for v1 especially. Minor things sure, but I am excited to get it in hand.

This is the first rep I’ve gotten that I have genuinely never seen or held in person.

That green though… I need a green dial in the rep collection. May have to get that one too and put a different strap on. Man these new releases are killer. Or an open worked RG. Or both. These AP reps even without legend have gotten so good. Add legend in the mix and I have a hard time wearing my genuine offshore anymore!

Just got my QC for the black ceramic, looks good on my side, few nit picks such as the mentioned 9 o clock marker, my 6 o clock marker is also slightly skewed as well but only by a slight degree. Not really worries as those are easy fixes once on the bench. Bracelet adjustments are going to be delicate work as they are using pins not screws on the ceramic version.

I think the ceramic dial has turned out really nice.

The green QC posted, if I was being super picky the Audemars wording is sitting a little low in the box, but I dont think enough to reject as not really an issue once on the wrist.

There is a dial for sale on the bay, if anyone has $10K hiding down the back of the sofa :)

How long did qc take for those who order the ceramic? I’m way too tempted seeing pics!

Kind of hoping somebody can help before I plunk down $800

This is my 15202, on my small wrist. Would this 26240 just be comically large on me? I've had 15500 and it wore pretty similar to this watch but the dial size made it feel massive in comparison.

Hoping it works as I'm a big fan of the chronograph

To be fair, and saying first that anyone can wear any watch, 41 APs would look a bit big in your wrist, 15202 wears noticeably smaller than 41s.

I always see how watches wear by watching these Watchbox videos. His wrist is on the smaller side as well.

Here is the 26240, if you haven't seen it already:

Thank you. this is actually helpful. I just found it crazy that the dimensions of 15202 vs 15500 were not that different other than thickness. This guy has a similar wrist to me so maybe its worth taking a shot.

I will also add a 26331 seemed like it fit me, although it was a mm thinner or so. Overall still hyped for this release, so I might place my order soon as I see somebody with QCs on the blue

Impressive ! A game changer in AP chrono super clones! if they did this , i dont see why they cannot make offshores! Clearly APSF is capable of doing so…
