That's another part of cheapening the brand with this colab. Most of watches allocated to his friends will be sold in a few months for a 100k profit, making real collectors dumb and making AP a stupid whore just for FHB guilty pleasure... but yes I know.. dO YoU kNoW hoW mUcH EiiPyy wiLL be hYPeD aFtEr tHiS FiRe cOlAb...

Damn… registering directly to client. Sounds like that’s an insider/backdoor sale
How crazy and daring is that from a boutique?! Wouldn’t they expect that HQ will go on a witch hunt to figure out how this happened and either fire a manager or blacklist a client??

I suppose if you were already going to leave this would make a nice out the door bonus/kickback, and if the client is big enough to be allocated/afford this piece, does it really matter to them if they are blacklisted?

Come on man, poor guy has 27 days left there. Don't let the biggest industry secret out of the bag before he's gone and starts his lifestyle brand!

I think the collab is well done (though they probably should’ve done without the merch as it’s a bit overdone and seems like they are pimping the brand out).

However, imo AP shouldn’t be aligning with influencers/tick tock stars

Actually as mentioned before it is parody character of American fuckboy, who blow parents money, do nothing but party or in the words of the creator "The second character, cousin Colton, is Constance’s doppelganger and a Gen-Z, TikTok-loving, crypto enthusiast counterpart from New York, who now lives in between his cousin Constance’s mansions and his own pad in Beverly Hills."

For some it is a hard pill to swallow because they measure the world by their inner circles but this is The Architype of AP or should I say Royal Oak customer. As seen by AP marketing team (don't know how many of you know the girls) and strongly supported by the CEO. And in that light every collab enthusiast on watch internet forums find weird makes a great sense.
