Not sure why Mr. I have 32 posts comes out with something like bashing AP, but obviously a troll. IF, and I mean IF, he knew AP is one of the most acclaimed brands then...well why bother, he is clueless.

But for the troll poster, check into a little watch history, and you will quickly find there are three brands that make up (at least in many minds) the 'trinity' of watches--PP, AP, and VC. Now I know that will take a while to figure out what that means, but ask your CEO, he'll know. For now

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but there are much more respectful ways of portraying them in writing. OP shows a lack of class / tact.

[Submarino]

The OP clearly likes to push buttons and get a reaction. What a waste of time and life!

Coming into the AP subforum just to irritate people! I don't get it.

Get a life!!!!

You will be the CEO when you know it!
Try one, and you will know how your CEO feels!

I guess I am not adding anything new here, but what an idiotic and pointless thread starter. Do you get a kick of an internet fight? Get a life man.

Very true but to create a thread on an AP forum bashing AP's is pure classless and wrong!! Anyone foolish enough to do this deserves the backlash he is getting. Tasteless and rude IMHO and totally unecessary.

I think the guy is just stating his opinion.

There has certainly been a lot said about the so-called "ClownMaster" and the SkyDweller by Rolex lovers on this site.

Instead of vitriolic or sarcastic responses, AP lovers could just try to explain what they see that some of us don't.

Again-unecessary thread to start on an AP Forum--completely disagree Grady. It is not at all the same as responding to a thread on whether you like or dislike the SkyDweller. A foolish thread without a doubt...

Couldnt agree more Ken.

We can not explain why somebody doesnt like AP, its about taste. Taste is taste .. can not explain nor change anybody taste.
But we cant just go to other forum and saying that your car is ugly , I dont understand why you buying it etc etc . Guranteed you will get the same response in any other forums.

I disagree Grady, his method was ill concieved and his comments were not well thought out.

Anytime you end a thread by asking people to flame you, and moon people, generally you expect the reaction he's getting.

There are better ways to state your opinion and ask for feedback.

We have a name for people that do this: TROLL. This one gets a new name: Pledgie Troll...

And like a typical TROLL I have seen him come back to look but of course not post.

Thats how I feel when people bash Panerai, granted AP is on a whole 'nother order of magnitude greater than Panerai or even ROLEX...

I could offer a few choice Italian words, but I shall refrain...

Ha I know how it goes.. I love how people mention no one even knows what they wear.. Some guy commented once on my "Panera"... I think you could gather what I was wearing ;)

I like being under the radar, I mean to those who know watches it isn't, but wearing a Rubber Clad to the amass of ordinary or avg people, it is nothing special, indeed.. But that's me, yes i'm spending 15-20k still, so that speaks for itself. But it's going to be what I love and understated for that cash, not a full out gold Rolex.

It's always the rude/obnoxious people who will comment on my choices for the money, who also comment about my car choice .. Why a RUF GT2, should have gotten a LAMBO or FERRARI.... Wait what's a RUF? lol

At the end of the day, we all see worth in things we love...

+1. I don't understand the fascination with American football but I'm smart enough not to bash the sport.

This ad comes to my mind

[dddrees]

For me, the 15300 garnered my attention first.

It's the Gerald Genta design.

The roots of it being the first high end SS luxury watch.

The quality, the level of detail, the fit, the finish, the dial, the hands, and that gold rotor.

The fact that they do so much by hand, and the level of detail that they go to.

It's a matter of taste and sometimes what one likes, others do not.

I like it, and it works for me.

AP is a hooker blow your mind away.
Never bought but always loved her look!

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....

Ok...let's get you back and involved.

But before we do that I'd suggest some tact especially when you choose to make such strong and intentionally provocative comments on an AP sub forum

Cheap? Doesn't command the respect of a Rolex?

Well.....Who's respect are you talking about? And which AP model looks cheap to you? Or is it a generalized comment about them all?

"owners in love with what I consider an ugly watch".... You don't understand how anyone can be in love with something YOU consider ugly???? Really....I'm not sure which world you live in but I have a clear understanding that people have different tastes. And that many can have strong feelings for something I just don't like. is this really new to you??

Then you really make an unnecessary comment when you state APs look like something purchased in a metro station in.....wait for it....."stanbul"

So as a lover of APs myself how would you suggest I respond to your series of provocative statements clearly not designed for constructive discussion or debate. See, let's imagine I'd just met you...or that you simply approached me....you looked down at my wrist and made the above comments about my AP diver. What do you reckon I'd do in terms of a reaction???

I'll look forward to your response.

Lets be honest though, Rubber Clad looks cheap to untrained eye...

I think you do need to read the book again as you stated above.

Really? None that I have ever known... Trained or not!.

Maybe you are related to the OP?

So a Richard Mille tourbillion worth $500K looks cheap because it's on a rubber strap? Damn, someone better tell them!

I'm merely stating that to a certain extent I can understand where the OP's opinion came from. AP is my favorite watch, and I love the Rubber Clad, I've owned one. Yikes!

To the untrained eye, yes it would

to me it's not worth that money. it is priced at 500k to be precise.
i personally also find it cheap looking.
on the other hand i do understand the appeal of a ro but not a friend of the roo line. go figure....
