I’m sorry. It’s like they hired the Armani Exchange watch department for this and had the JLC Polaris design team consult for five minutes. This won’t be displacing the Royal Oak like anytime soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Design by committee.
Spent all their time sweating the details and forgot to designs the dials.

I was holding off on the ROC to see what the new line will look like. I’m not a big fan from the photos. I wonder if and when the ROC will get the new movement??

note to ceo: ditch this model lineup, take the movement and insert across entire RO models, and move on.
avoid bleeding out the brand reputation, especially after such an uptick in 2018. |

Its aweful, even worse than the VC56 and who knew that was possible?

I have to admit that I was looking forward to the full reveal and see what AP had in this new line. Now that I've seen it, at least in press release photos and videos, it doesn't do anything for me.
One thing I don't think has been mentioned yet in this thread: Is anyone else surprised by such a low WR at 30m? Not a huge deal in the real world but with all the R and D that went into the new chrono, why so low? |

I wonder the same as well as I picked up a ROC recently. Curious to see the price if they decide to put in the new movement onto the 26331. |

I do like the Perpetual Calender but who is going to buy this at 74k USD? If they don't sell well and they discount it to 40-50-60k I think there are better options out there.

Seems only the AP boutiques will sell it for now. So grey's will be limited. In that case AP could get in a pickle, they could stuck with these watches that they couldn't sell to anyone..

I can't see myself spending almost 27k for the most basic model in this range. Give me a used Lange 1 or similar.

I‘m afraid this new line launch will cut the production for RO, ROC and ROO.
This mean looooong waiting list. About the new line I think I need to see it but maybe give a new interpretacion for classic watch and make the classic more loved by younger! |

Hrm...will reserve judgement until I see one in person. Not a big fan of the dial.
That said, if I’m going for a dressier watch, I would probably opt for a Lange 1815 Chrono instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This could potentially drives up the price of AP RO, ROC, and ROO on the secondary market of course. |

However, no pics can change the font selection and dial design. |

) I really like the case design !
) Large dial diameter with small bezel is fantastic ! ) The chapter around the dial perimeter needs to be eliminated ! ) I would pay $6k max ........

I bet Daniel Wellington is probably sending a big bouquet of flowers and a thank you note to AP for the great ad campaign they put together for the DW brand.

Agree. The display back and movement look great. If they flipped the watch over and made it a skeleton, I’d be a buyer
