very unique piece but i accidentally voted for the first option ...

Stratos · 19 April 2016, 12:40 AM

I cannot see myself spending that kind of money for a lime green watch.

Certainly not a bright moment for AP's history.

All that said, enjoy your new watch!!

Sorry never been a fan of vivid colors on watches , I do like the blue version.
Fun piece if you own lots of watches for someone like me with only 4 watches ,no way :)

texex91 · 19 April 2016, 12:56 AM

Certainly not a primary watch, but a fun piece to wear at the beach--why not.

ChrisInCharlotte · 19 April 2016, 01:12 AM

Not a fan of the green color, but I do love the watch in orange!

My thoughts too

I'd wear that!

Dial looks sweet!

Huge congrats!

AK797 · 19 April 2016, 03:43 AM

That green is a bit too light and yellowish for me, darker would have been better.

conkers · 19 April 2016, 10:03 AM

Appreciate the feedback everyone. It was always destined to polarise opinions!

PJ S · 19 April 2016, 10:14 AM

Jesus wept…is there a brightness control on that thing?

Facetiousness aside, with the right attire during the summer, and not as one’s only watch, I can see how it’d be deemed a fun one to add to the collection.
Obviously ‘just for fun’ is relative to one’s disposable income – so seeing as it’s you, Roger, sure, why the hell not?

It’s not like you’ve anything else to spend your pension on…well, except some Grecian 2000!

speedfighter · 19 April 2016, 10:34 AM

I like it especially with a black leather jacket. Congratulations Roger on a nice pickup!!

csquared317 · 19 April 2016, 10:45 AM

I think it would be a little better on a different colored strap? For sure a fun watch but you have to have multiple watches before going for something like that.

Since you asked that looks aweful.

srvrf · 19 April 2016, 10:53 AM

I like it as a summer casual watch, but I just don't know what the green would go with wardrobe-wise. The blue seems most versatile, then maybe yellow and then orange. But I don't mind a summer watch standing out.

dchang81 · 19 April 2016, 11:06 AM

I think it's cool, an AP level orange monster, or lime monster. If i had a lot of cash laying around, or if got a good discount i'd go for the yellow or orange and put it on a black strap.

eonflux · 19 April 2016, 11:06 AM

If you love it, that's all that matters!
Congrats!!

sea-dweller · 19 April 2016, 11:35 AM

Beautiful!

Gaijin · 19 April 2016, 11:57 AM

That's pretty cool..

conkers · 19 April 2016, 12:18 PM

Obviously it is meant to be a bit of fun and I do have a few watches in my collection so i can wear it at appropriate venues. Having said that I do have a matching tie so I can wear with a suit if I have gone temporarily insane!

ELITEVIDEOGAMES · 19 April 2016, 12:49 PM

It's eclectic and nice for your larger collection. Not my taste for that pricing but that's on the upper end of my budget when getting a watch when it might be on your lower end. I look at it like if I bought a fun watch in the 3k range. I would not mind taking a "crazy" chance in that range.

Marciano490 · 19 April 2016, 12:50 PM

Makes me want kool-aid!

A fun piece for someone like you that has a varied and well-balanced collection and who is bold enough to pull out a shocking piece or two when the mood hits.

Definitely never have to worry about losing it amongst keys or papers.

subtona · 19 April 2016, 12:52 PM

not for me…

maybe with matching shoes?

I have bought pieces in the past that OTHER people don't like. Some in green also..lol..Doesn't matter. As long as YOU like it and think it's special that is ALL that matters. It may be that b/c only 50 were made, it won't be a bad investment...if you are one to care about those things 👍
Rolex recently made a rainbow Daytona that nobody on the forum likes. It has almost doubled in value in a few years...

s14roller · 19 April 2016, 01:51 PM

Was a tough one...first pic I said no, the second pic it looked pretty cool. Ultimately think for me, I'd need an easier color to wear.

BNA/LION · 19 April 2016, 01:54 PM

Sports Watch for Summer, works for you - it works for me! Congratulations!

Peterandwatches · 19 April 2016, 01:59 PM

Not for me, but it has its place as a fun, sporty, summertime piece. This would look awesome by the pool with some lime green swim trunks. Enjoy!

Al1969 · 19 April 2016, 02:36 PM

Sorry Roger, not liking it. It's very 80s, but if it "sings" to you. That's all that matters.

icok · 19 April 2016, 07:11 PM

congrats! already in April. it is for the summer. why not!

brettpaul · 19 April 2016, 07:29 PM

To be fair, my first reaction was that you'd lost the plot....but after looking at it a few minutes and knowing what else you've got in your treasure chest, I actually think I like it and it's a good fit....harkens back to the Rolex stellas of the 1970's which are way cool!!

It ain't easy being green mate, but I think you can pull it off!!

conkers · 19 April 2016, 07:39 PM

Dare to be different I say! Matches this perfectly. Finding the car is proving more difficult than sourcing the watch!
