AP - Dunno the fascination...
Our CEO has a AP Royal Oak (white) which at first glance is nice watch but certainly does not command the respect of a Rolex. The band looks cheap and it appears to be something purchased in a Metro station somewhere in stanbul...
I don't understand the desire for this brand nor the fascination for those owners who seem to be "in love" with what I consider an ugly watch; all of the AP's to me are the same watch but with different configurations and excessively overpriced... Awaiting the onslaught....

Don't sweat it.
Maybe your CEO knows more than you. |

It's not like anybody is forcing you to get anything.
There are brands which I don't particulary care for, I just don't buy them. So really, what's the purpose of your post?

It's all about the taste. I would say the same thing about Other high end brand.

You either get it or you don't, if you don't get it don't ask because you probably never will. Anyway there is no point sweating the small stuff, enjoy.
