I'm really glad that the competition looks like a success. How many of you are sick and tired of cynicism in the watch industry, and I feel that AP and the Royal Oak is in the receiving end of a lot of it. Granted AP isn't perfect, but passive agressive potshots just make you think "oh, grow up", just like this video from watchfinder. I'll caveat by saying i might be missing the whole point of the video lol.
