Old faithful! I've been quite ill for the past few months and lost a stone in weight, meaning my wrist has shrunk a bit. I think I just still get away with an AP44, but only just...

Chris the 44 always looks good on your wrist. Hope you’re on the road back to full health.

Thanks, Ash, getting better, but it's now down to insulin management!

I don't wear my RG44 very often, as I see no point around my house, solitary office or local town, which means that when I do wear it, it's almost from afresh and I wonder at what a fantastically designed piece it is. The strap works brilliantly as well. I hoping to get something interesting, strap wise, for my Summer Edition and ROC soon too.

Different to many 42mm ROOs, AP made 32 variation of this 44mm case (don't count Lebron and Schumi that are also 44mm but in different case) none directly associated with some celebrity. Some are associated with hotels, boutiques, golf ambassadors (without name) and first one to be associated directly with a person is Gims edition... must be FHB favorite French rapper

Gims has been a huge fan and loyal to the brand before the increase in demand plus I think he's also a friend of FHB just like Omar Sy and Austen Chu. I remember FHB gave him and Dadju a shout out during the Black panther release

Well not sure who is the "customer" in that relationship tbh... But even if that's right why a LE?
My personal opinion of course, but moves like this and the Marvel thing are just leaving me wondering what customer base these guys are chasing. But I don't think it's me...

How many celebrity editions did PP ever come up with?

A 1of1 PP 5004 for amazing collectors.
Not to everyone's taste but go on their IG to read about the inspiration behind the 1of1

In my opinion same boat as Gims, huge AP fan/collector and was rewarded with a 1of1 for years of loyalty to the brand

It's not a limited edition. It's a 1 of 1, a piece unique.

There is also a Gims limited edition of 14 pieces with same design... but just with gold details only on sunglasses and not on bolts...

Hahah thanks ... plenty of free time during 42mm ROO era that was hardest to track... and no matter it is not everyone's taste it was a pretty fun period that put AP in the spotlight of the broader audience... lots of experimenting with design and materials...

Now things are pretty easy to follow and the funnies parts are usually turtleneck CEO adventures ... can't wait for 2022 and Jumbo 50th...
