There's more to come... but yikes, this one was a monstrosity I didn't expect. No offense to anyone who like or buys it, but it's pretty dreadful. If this is the direction AP is heading in, well, then I'm glad I have my 15202 and am now shifting over to Patek.

last year's 44s were in AD's by late march/early april, this one says july. So at least we can avoid it for a little while longer.

Im abstaining from all incoming threads of this

I had to check my calendar yesterday that it wasn't April 1. That would be a fitting release date for this one.

On one hand it looks kind of cool with a white tshirt and blue jeans perhaps but on the other hand it completely looks like a walmart watch.

the strap is changeable, the dial is OK, but its that green bezel that ill never come around on

Ziperian · 11 January 2018, 11:56 PM

It makes me feel happy with what I already own. I may keep my promise to my wife yet to take it easy on watches in 2018.

benlee · 11 January 2018, 11:58 PM

I think I will reserve judgement until I see actual... a lot of times, these computerised renditions are not an accurate reflection of actual.

APAP · 12 January 2018, 12:02 AM

I actually like it. I'm a fan of this color combination but what breaks it for me is the green ceramic bezel. Would have preferred a black one.

Agree AP are not the best at a true visual impression on the site but struggle to see them being able to pull this back!

Hoping the green bezel is a more emerald type look opposed to the muddy green in pics.

Vaxe · 12 January 2018, 12:28 AM

Maybe they’ll include a solid color strap, that dial doesn’t look too bad

Ss22525 · 12 January 2018, 12:47 AM

I like it

SC11 · 12 January 2018, 12:48 AM

The SS44 on Horus camo looked better IMO

Good point, agreed. I think with most things AP if i stare at it long enough I eventually want it.

Chary · 12 January 2018, 02:18 AM

I think it's ugly as........ sorry... I feel like Hublot just took over AP's design center....

GB-man · 12 January 2018, 02:28 AM

Funny most don't like the green bezel. That is the least of my concerns

For me its that strap and dial. I like my offshore strap to match the dial so a replacement is not going to work

Nope... I'll pass

Marciano490 · 12 January 2018, 02:49 AM

It's like what they did with the divers; instead of innovating design, they just splash about colors.

Then, again, if you reinvent the wheel every year, who knows what you end up with.

I completely agree as well. AP's are not always quite photogenic but in person a whole other beast

Agree

Nice dark green. Just change the strap, whiners!

On a solid strap, it will blow something like the hulk away.

Compared to a hulk maybe. I wouldn't buy a green watch from any brand though.

The Hulk is a niche watch of a mass market brand. This is a niche watch within a niche brand. No way its a big seller no matter how nice it looks in real life.

Marciano490 · 12 January 2018, 05:47 AM

It's growing on me. What're thinking MSRP will be? Surely under 30k, right?

above 30 would be my guess. 30-32k. Or maybe, priced where the Ti is which i think is 30,400.

Ah, didn't realize the MSRP for the Ti was 30,400 - everyone I know was buying them for 25ish.

LAFLARE · 12 January 2018, 06:05 AM

Green ceramic?

That's par for the course with most AP though. Mine was 22k before the margin cut.
