JCK 2015: Raymond Weil Launches its First Pilots’ Watch, the Freelancer Piper

Re : AP Ceramic Pieces being discontinued?
I have just heard from my AD that AP is discontinuing / stopping production of AP Ceramic pieces such as the AP Ceramic Diver and AP ROO 44mm. Any one else received news about this? As some of you might know, AP outsource the actual production / fabrication of the ceramic pieces to 3rd party as ceramic is very hard to machine. The added time and cost esp to make them to AP's specification and finishing makes it not worthwhile as it will mean selling ceramic pieces at a price level near equivalent to RG pieces to break even. That's what I heard anyway.
