Forged carbon case
Is it true that AP is stopping its forged carbon production? If so why? I know that they stopped production on the 44mm and 42(bumblebee).

Basel 2017 Preview and MORE!
Last night I attended a Basel Preview event at Kirk Jewelers (wonderful time and great staff! thank you!). There are live videos and pictures on my IG stories feed if you want to check it out.The night started with a Bang with double platinum wrist time with the 5070P and the 5170P.

Old K serial 2002 116520 Daytona with OEM 116500 Ceramic Bezel
This may not be for everyone but I have managed to get hold of a brand new OEM 116500 Ceramic Bezel that came off a 2016 Daytona as it was replaced with a diamond Bezel. I know the Ceramic bezels are pretty much unobtanium so jumped on it when I knew it was available. Need to get it fitted now and depending upon how it looks it could be a permanent change with the original Bezel going into the box or it may get changed back.Pic to follow

Will the new Deep-Sea make a difference to you?
Will the new wider bracelet and case shape of the Deep-Sea make a difference to your decision to buy?I've never been able to even consider the Deep-Sea due to its relative size to my wrist and so it has never been on my radar.However, now with the new bracelet size, new case contour and not the least the new movement (Cal. 3235), it is something that I would now entertain the possibility of owning.What say you??????
