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.

It's all about the Octagon! What a post to disrespect one of the worlds most acclaimed horological brands! Wow!

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

Well said Paul and Ken! OP here is the book Ken referenced above! It was required reading from one of my professors in college!

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.

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!!!!
