Wonder why this design was approved...
But again, the real watch might be better looking than the press photos (was there even a press announcement?)

I tried the LBJ at the boutique when it was just released and it was actually pretty nice!

These on the other hand ...

I question whether the incremental profits from this range outweigh the damage that'll be done to AP's credibility.

There's been at least a dozen LEs I can think of that I would say the same about but it hasn't seemed to hurt them yet.

The number of watches in the "Goliath" LTD Edition are so few that all of these will find homes with collectors. Attractive or not, there is a lot of money out there and being wealthy has little to do with good taste. I see these as more curiosities than desirables.
