The THb openworked RO you mean?

Well, if you could try bending the bracelet to see if it breaks or not it’d be great

Yes that’s not happening I read it’s the same factory for both

why do you keep asking everyone to bend and break their bracelets - Let them enjoy their $1000 watches in peace LOL.

Who exactly would it be great for, for them to bend their bracelet to see if it breaks, for your viewing pleasure and curiosity?

No, because if it is all flawed then they'll break easy.

WHich means in the near future, they'll break anyways.

So better test it now so that they still have the warranty from the TD.

And stop sales on these defective pieces.

From what I see, there is already a high chance of the ceramic bracelet breaking especially with daily use. The material just doesn't hold up to rigorous use.

But having the bracelet break during the course of use, vs deliberately bending it to see if it breaks, are two different matters because everyone will test the bracelet differently, using different amounts of force and bending it to varying degrees. There is no single standard of testing, and none stated or approved by the manufacturers. So if a owner who receives his new 26240CE bends the bracelet and it breaks, there will be nothing except dismay and another watch to add to the statistics of what is already known. It won't change what we already know.

So please stop asking the guys to bend the bracelets just to test if it breaks. You can do that for your own watch if and when you buy one. Just let them enjoy their purchases and if it breaks over time naturally, it is not too late to ask for a replacement bracelet as this is already a known issue, the watches have been shipped with an inherent defect and should all be replaced, broken bracelets or not.

Has anyone opted for the Purple dial? Never had purple before and thought it might be a bit different.

 

[APjumbo]

I like the purple one but ordered the ceramic.

Hoping the purple is popular enough that they keep making it long enough I can grab one too.

(Not mine)

Here a ''custom'' made one. I see there is some wiggle room / space between the links which would prevent them from touching and chipping eachother:

Is the APS bracelet tight to the feeling or loose like in the video? At 03:56 he starts showing the bracelet.

From what i have read , green and blue are the way to go so far, plus for all the ceramic lovers including me, we can @SMP_lover to make a sexxxxxxy strap for it
It the bracelet break

 

[MFK100]

Had the ceramic for over a week now , i did not witness any issues mentioned above . Maybe i am lucky but my advise would be.

Dont attempt or experiment sizing the watch yourself , give it to a professional to do the needful.

It is not an everyday watch due to its delicacy hence one must treat it with care.

I believe this applies even for gen as well even if it is more robust.

 

[Magic Mike]

One question guys. I am about to pull the trigger on this one. Which color is the most gen like? What do you think?

 

[Reaps]

One question guys. I am about to pull the trigger on this one. Which color is the most gen like? What do you think?

The default answer for this is always black.

The real answer is get which one you like.

 

[locvs]

I do believe APSF will improve the bracelet. The pictures posted lead me to believe, that the damege is due to microcracks which occur during the drilling. Finding the right RPM and drill preasure to not damage the material is much more diffcult with ceramic.
I think the beveling on the single links is also a bit of an issues as it doesn't allow the same angle of bending as gen.
Once those are improved most issues will be resolved.

 

[legend]

Buy what you like. Whichever color you choose it’ll be a rep. This is a well done replica model. You can tell if you peruse the thread and go through all the pictures posted here. Don’t worry about flaws, all reps have them including this one.
So what color are you inclined toward? That’s the color to buy.

 

[Magic Mike]

Thank you guys. Ordered white/silver. Can't wait to get it

 

[Virpag]

My approved QC for your use

 

[Variatio Delectat]

Blue! This is the way!

 

[Tiempofugit]

How about you wait until they fix the flaw then get that?
It doesn't make sense to get the same garbage now, is it?

Just receive a message that APSF is working,g on a new version after Chinese new year. No rush...

 

[CutePinkKitty]

Let's hope APSF also makes the blue Panda version.

 

[Virpag]

Let's hope APSF also makes the blue Panda version.

Trust me they will milk every version there is a lot of cash to make for them it’s just a waiting game now
