Sounds a bit far fetched but both special edition Ti/Pt watches (SE ROC and SE 33mm quartz) were not listed as LE's at launch per AP's website. Hodinkee's article at launch specifically stated the SE ROC was not limited but just a boutique exclusive. Nearly a year later AP's website changed and said it was a LE of 500.

Initial and then updated AP description a almost a year later....


AP are obviously hedging their bets - makes good business sense really.
