But, on the day seven Travis Scott invented not only brown ceramic but brown color. Yo Amen.

How can you say that the TS has more AP DNA?

A Tuscan dial, QP and RO. How much more AP DNA do you want?

Problem is people started to label FHB celebrity crushes as AP DNA...

AP was irrelevant until the offshore. FHB said himself that Arnold and the End of Days saved the brand. AP dna. The dna that made AP the brand it is today. is hyper masculine and technical watches.

The JM QP is too refined. The TS QP is more irreverent and aggressive. Less apologetic about its outsider stature. More relevant to modem international culture. Purely on an artistic level I feel the TS QP is more relevant to the world wide culture.

AP was irrelevant before the offshore? Ok, no use in making my point. I suggest some reading about the QP béfore the RO. That saved AP. If it needed to be safed anyway.

Then came the RO, which was even better for the brand. Then, we are talking nineties, came de ROO.

The John Mayer is perfection. Couldn’t have done better myself. But I think the Travis Scott one is the one I’d pick. It’s too cool.
