The Laureato design language is pure trash. A Frankenstein of elements—Nautilus bracelet, APish bezel, APish el cheapo dial.

In the metal toyish feel, long history of after market garbage value (-60% off minute you leave store). Universal signifier of brand weakness trash. Let me know if your Porsche 911 or Rolex crashes by over half when you leave the dealer.

Haute line looks like MB&F and UN Freak had a baby from a one night stand that literally nobody wants.

Chronographs look like cheap Tudor AP garbage mashups.

They literally name watches after nicknames from other Aps such as the ghost.

Their perpetual calendar is 90s Ap ripoff trash.

Literally YouTube videos are titled “why all the hate for GP”


Do you have another 2 hours? I could keep going on about the movements etc.

Look it, I support your enjoyment of the brand and your enthusiasm. But don’t attempt to gaslight us with the “you have no idea” and pretend your Boon’s Farm is a Lafite Rothschild.

I’ll wait for your “Achtkualllyyyyy. “
