AP LeBron James Edition

This week exactly on the 27th, AP is unveiling the ROO LeBron James Edition. What do you guys think? Is it going to be a 44mm or 48mm?

For more info please:

He is a main reason why I don't want an AP ROO.

The risk to buying/owning this watch is you take it off at night and put it on the night stand.......you wake up in the morning to find it's now in Miami!

Lets face it, he is the best player to come around possibly EVER. Unfortunalty for Cleveland, he wanted to win a championship and needed to come to Miami to have a shot. He did that twice. Great move on his part and for our city. I am a huge fan and of AP. And on a watch, thats awesome!

Agreed

I like AP's LEs but not how they are all tied to athletes. I would be really upset if Lance Armstrong was an AP ambassador and I purchased his LE at a premium.

AP should really stop degrading the brand with these things.
They're becoming hublot with all this terminator watch and dwiene wade watch etc.

They still make great watches but all these ROO variations have really gone out of control.

I agree that "some" of the "location" LE's "can" be overdone and silly ie Monte Napolone etc. etc. but the ones tied to athletes/entertainers/famous people help sell their amazing watches and was a brilliant move on their part years ago and now. People buy what they see famous people wearing. In the end, there is a financial bottom line that must be met and licensing brings customers in. Jay Z, Arnold, Shumacher, Lebron all have large followings and fit the demographic.

Is this one model LE (like Trulli, Arnold) or there will be Titanium, Gold, Platinum variations (like Schumi, Rubens, Messi...) ?

I like arabic numbers, but dont like tiny screws like 44 novelity models... Schumi/Rubens/GT bezel looks way better on 44mm...

Are we going back to arabic numerals? and 48mm?
It looks like an Arnold edition. And Arnold editions are cooler.

Feel like it's not for everyone.
I wanna see the real piece for final judgement.

Anyway, any news about Novak edition?
