AP introduces five new Royal Oak models
Well, four plus a piece unique: watchesbysjx.com l ...
Minimalist and stupidest co brand name on the dial ever, yeah right..
Iam probably out off the loop on many newish trends anyway so what do I know and its probably hard to get for most pesants like me anyway if I wanted one at mrsp.
A chronograph without numbered sub dials seems somewhat useless.
I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I wouldn't mind if AP abandoned all Royal Oaks except the original. They've become too much of a one-watch brand.
It's not April 1st yet, but I'll play...
...there are 3 (maybe 4) things that I think of that make APRO iconic. 1) Octagonal bezel 2) Slotted screws in bezel 3) Textured dial 4) Bracelet design (this is 'maybe' as many are on strap). Why would a brand delete one-third of the elements that make i...
Not going to lie, every year I feel like selling off my APs was the right choice a few years ago
The brand does not resonate with me at all anymore. I still have my Millenary but that might need to go too at this point.
No work up - these are just shitty options, that‘s it! 😅
AP - Why not doing a dial with no hands at all! 😬
Nobody that I've ever met is their target market...
...it's all celebrities and 'influencers' these days. Throw in a TikTok 'star' or two and that's who they're targeting. Like the car manufacturers...limited edition of 8 cars at $2M each, already spoken for. Don't mind my rants, just a bit out of sorts to...
I hear you, but there are some APs that I really like
…but most are from prior generations. Thanks for assuming I’m not a gangsta rapper. I’m offended. 🤪
I received an email this morning but had not gotten to it.
Thanks for saving me the trouble on this one ;-)
This collab is strictly on monetary consideration for sure
And will be a sell out no doubt. When I saw the pix, thought it was some CasioOak type franken…😵💫
Horologically pointless line up. Can’t display any precise
measurements. A déjà vu feeling, recalls me of the Hublot Big Bang Zegg & Cerlati timepieces.
Or every Moser? Or the Patek world timer? How about we add all those Pateks who’s movements don’t hack and make accurately setting the time impossible
Yes, why don’t we add the original AP jumbo? No seconds hand at all?
I particularly meant the chronograph function for measuring elapsed
time. So 4 out of the 5 new models. 😁
Haha, just looked up the co branding name, had no clue
And as such I need to say that they hit the nail on the head with this one 😂. Go perfectly together. You know what? To each his own. Dirk
Someone somewhere thought it was a good idea
a strong flow of creativity has been unleashed, inspired by the subtle fashion from the 1017... designer And a student at a horology school is silently crying today ...
These are hideous...
AP completely lost the plot. Turning into Hublot. I find they ruined the Royal Oak. Over done. I wish we could go back to pre-2015 watch world when all these models sold at discount and barely sold at all.
Funny, Brad seems to wear more Pateks than Breitlings.
And yet Breitling pays Brad millions to be their ambassador.
From 2021
Its a curious decision since there was an unofficial similar aftermarket iteration between 1017 ALYX 9SM and a Parisian bespoke customiser in 2021 (which sold out almost immediately) - there was then another colourful version done with Charaf Tajer of Cas...
Not pretty
I don’t mind the minimalistic dial but the chronograph function is just absurd. I really like that the Royal Oak is in 41mm with dual tones, wish they could do that for regular models at 41mm. The best looking of these must be the Beast, at least to me. I...
