Even the hated Code is now a super refined product that gets stronger with each iteration.
I'm not defending him but he's actually really approachable and good to his word. I imagine that the AP board loves him. To a degree so do I as he's responsible for the full ceramic models that we all covet, and I can't help thinking that he's got a few more sensational tricks up his sleeve before he calls it a day at AP.

Yes it is but I 100pct stand behind it. I find this video is totally grotesque. It is something that would make me smile for a cheap car brand or a soft drink company… but we are talking luxury watches where the cheapest steel model is 25k. Unbelievable. I don’t care if he is approachable that’s not what he is paid to be.
I don’t have anything against the Code.
Marvel - yes. It was the first disaster.
But it is continuing.
My feel is FHB is diluting the luxury of the brand by making it a big farce and a melt of other pop culture influences.
Again my humble opinion but I will really reconsider buying AP in the future.
I think I am a (very) good customer of my local AP boutique but FHB’s recent moves have led me to strengthen my relationships with my local PP boutique.
They off course don’t care but tables turn and the hype will not be there for ever…
