Thanks guys. That's good to know. That's really poor on the part of AP then. Guess this is where the reps are accurate too LOL

New AP 26240 with 4401 Super Clone movement is coming

received my ceramic yesterday! Figure I’d piggy back off a great review here:
https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/new-26240-ce-review-black-ceramic.10997529/
When comparing to gen pics it is quite difficult to point out major flaws on the front and bracelet to my untrained eye. The bracelet does feel a bit odd compared to steel Rolex reps and maybe that’s just the ceramic? My 9 o clock might be a hair off but unnoticed on my wrist. Im not one to nitpick as many small things like that aren’t noticeable when wearing. The rotor and open case back, in my opinion are always gonna be the spot for most flaws. The font is off on the rotor as mentioned by everyone but when looking at it it’s hard to even see the font without zoomed pic or putting it in your face so I’d say don’t let that hold anyone back. It is a rep by the way of a very expensive/rare piece!
Aesthetically I love the black. It’s extremely stealthy which is what I was looking for. The light still plays off the bracelet beautifully but don’t feel like it’s as loud as the steel. The ceramic also feels great on the wrist! Not too light not too heavy.
As mentioned in initial review, be careful with those sleeves! Extremely tiny. Mine didn’t come out when I initially pushed the pin through and only did when I went to go put the pin back in and had it backwards and about lost it.
Overall an amazing piece and will most likely be adding a RG when available!

THere was someone who complained it fell off on his, so before it does on yours, do it yourself then epoxy it tight!
I heard about that and picked at them slightly and have used them and seem to be on pretty good so would prefer not to rip them off! Probably just a quality control issue from factory and hopefully will only affect a small amount
Can anyone compare the caseback / bezel screws with those of 15400's or other 41mm AP Royal Oaks?
This happened to my APSF the day I got it. It’s a factory issue they still haven’t addressed it seems
Shoot, how did you repair it?This happened to my APSF the day I got it. It’s a factory issue they still haven’t addressed it seems
Some glue. Which ended up seeping out and making the pusher non-functional… lol

anyone ever try to remove the movement from a similar watch? im curious if these buttons need to come off to remove it. inwhich case epoxy might be a bad idea?
