The only way for AP to sell these is to require clients to buy one in order to qualify for a 15202. Who knows, that could work

I also see a bit of references to JLC Polaris apart from the Longines throwback. Sigh!

Wow. The Fossil comp is scary. Is it possible that NO ONE at AP picked that up?

I don’t have time to dig right now but I suspect it is a fake.

Photoshopped – nothing more, and simple to achieve due to the plain dial.

I have feeling it is Photoshopped and Fossilized

The minute repeater and the chrono look ok but generally speaking they’re pretty drab. I suspect they will sell a lot in the Middle East though.

Indeed you would. But the fact it has AP on the face makes me think it will sell here. Ive seen untold amounts of awful (yet expensive) pieces on the wrists of residents.

The only nice thing about this watch is the octogonal mid case and the case construction. But somehow they managed to even screw that up and it's impossible to see it on the wrist.

I am really curious to know how this final design got approved. What were they thinking?!!
