What draws you to the APRO?

Very nervous venturing away from the crown-faithful with this post, but there has been so much hype surrounding the APRO recently. I'm not one to follow the whims of celebrities & other trends, but I'm curious: as an APRO owner, what is the X factor to your watch that I'm naive to? I hope I'm correct in assuming this esteemed group of e-colleagues also don't buy the "current hype watch," so what's it all about?

I've never handled one, just seen videos online & the rare occasion of seeing one "in the wild." The 37mm 50th anniv. with the ice blue dial is very attractive (like this one).

Do I have a spare $50k to spend on another watch? Not at the moment, as my Smurf is my pride & joy. Do I browse C24 whenever I'm not actively working? I plead the 5th.
