AP CEO Henry said so in his interview that they are being lazy in the design department, but sadly it's still happening in the LE pieces.

Thank you for sharing that.

It seems clear that the CEO is thinking in a way that would please most purist AP fans.

Although AP's avant garde design has popular appeal, all the limited editions and the celeb endorsements seem to have brought on a shift in brand positioning and potentially negative aspects that Rolex has gone through: all of the fake AP watches and the association with nouveau riche.

I'm not a purist and I'm not a collector soI don't see it as a problem but perhaps the AP collectors and other purists might.
