Not bad at all. Those bezel screw slots kill me. Think those can we replaced? Seriously, not hard to center a screw and slot it in the center.

Just imagine eight of these staring you in the face. I know we've all been waiting for these badly, and it's a great V1. Little things like this absolutely throw me into a plastic utencil at a fine steakhouse rage.

Maybe we can group buy a thousand of these to be made properly so we can swap them out.

You don’t wanna wait for a better quality one?

Looks like aside from the button cap popping off the bracelet corners break easily too
Yeah that’s a shame

I have the black ceramic APSF Perpetual calendar , and that watch has been bulletproof

Which one is that again?

And I feel like I need to give the early adopters a hats off for willing to be the impatient lab rat.
if it werent for them I'm sure the factories wouldn't fix these crippling issues.

The button cap part shouldn't be hard to fix with a teeeeny bit of epoxy, unless you're @VenomGT3 .

But what's this about the bracelet not being rounded enough to cause the corners to break like that?

ceramic is brittle. instead of ceramic, picture glass. now if your glass links arnt shaped right, when the bracelet is flexed, the edges will overlap and put pressure on the links next to it and......snap.

Ok that's what I thought....
I'm kinda surprised they didn't do it correctly since they are able to do it for the SS models

Wanted black ceramic but sincr my wrist is 6.3in I know it will flex bracelet inwards causing stress so I guess I'll get a steel model first. Thanks for the information all.

Black i presume? What’s your wrist size, if I may ask? Looks good on your wrist. Got the green on order, have 19 cm wrist (7,5 inch)..
Honestly never measured , but considered large as i did not remove any links from bracelet and i only remove one from rolex oysters! Needless to say that AP 41s measure larger than other 41s due to its shape . And yes it is black dial

They don't merely look larger. They are larger since the lug to lug (which is btw a more relevant measurement when determining size) is bigger because of the integrated bracelet.
The size, according to how it is offcially measured, is always the diameter of the case, lugs are of no relevance there. You may however view the lugs as a kind of "size" of course. Others may additionally add the first link etc etc. 😉
Personally I don't agree though.
