Existing clients became pissed offed and those lucky new clients then cashed in and further pissed the rest of us off. Finally, what was supposed to be a massive year for AP turned out to be just another year IMO, nothing wow at all.
AP make mistakes and I forgive them, they don’t make many, but they can’t make another one of this magnitude too soon. It’s the ROOs bday next year and APs bday two years later - they had better step up their game.

All that said I agree with Reign’s sentiment that we used to be a community of watch nerds - now we are so concerned about value - I’d love for the good old days to return.

Well said...
