3 new pre releases for 2019

What are your thoughts?

I think they all look hideous. I actually think, this time around...looking at those watches, dare I ever say....but AP is now "insipired" by hublot. I hate that I had to say it...but it had to be said. If I wanted an AP that look like that, I'd rather just get a Hublot.

edo · 19 November 2018, 08:21 PM

Agree... 44s becoming more and more Hublotized...

vman · 19 November 2018, 08:37 PM

Those are a no go. Wonder if the yearly shows push watch makers to commit design atrocities for the sake of novelty.

Skanse · 19 November 2018, 09:42 PM

I agree I don’t like them either!

Agree, think there are too many releases of the 44 now and this probably won't stop. Didn't know camo was so popular but must be doing good business. Blue one looks best altho shade is a bit too loud.

1William · 19 November 2018, 10:32 PM

I like them.

benlee · 19 November 2018, 10:32 PM

Looks to me like a repeat of what they have done to the Diver line.

T3F · 19 November 2018, 10:39 PM

Beyond terrible. Also, instead of just offering new color variations of Offshores, can we get some more variations of the 15202, more offerings that people with wrists under 7" can wear, or that new in-house chronograph that was supposed to come out 3 years ago?

You hit the nail on the head. Hublot has been doing this sort of thing for years — to much criticism from the collector community. The 44mm is nice looking but the case isn’t as wearable as, say, a 45mm Hublot.

This is at the end of the day pretty boring. Problem for AP is that they make the Royal Oak, that’s pretty much all anyone wants, and how many variations of the Royal Oak can one produce before people get tired of it?

I just don’t get the Camo straps, ok for an Invicta but not an AP at this level.

Exactly. Rather than coming out with so many LEs at the same time it would be good to see a newer version of the Montoya or Barrachiello. Limited quantities. You would seriously have to hate money to buy on of these camo editions.

conkers · 20 November 2018, 12:03 AM

The RG on brown hornback could look v good.

It won’t be everyone’s taste for sure, I’m ordering the blue camo strap for mine.

They look like watches for kids. I would love to see AP launch a 39mm Royal Oak with ceramic bezels.

That would be really interesting — to see AP move back to 39.

YES, I'd for sure buy one! Also, a full-ceramic RO in 39 would also be awesome.

oh yes, definitely!!

2nastie · 20 November 2018, 01:29 AM

Looks like those 3 watches only cater to 2 markets and unfortunately in today’s economic growth and wealth it’s from Dubai and China. They prefer colour and flash. Not for me but I see where AP got their inspiration.

singe89 · 20 November 2018, 01:35 AM

not the biggest fan but I'll probably pick up the blue camo strap for my Pt 44mm just for a fun change up.

Anyone see the white AP Golf LE get auctioned off at dinner for $200k euro?

Hard_Six · 20 November 2018, 02:38 AM

I guess I'm just not a camo fan

Looks like Horus edition APs

jumpmandk · 20 November 2018, 04:00 AM

The blue does look like an inspiration from the AP Golf version that was auctioned - the AP Dream Team made for AP ambassadors.

I remember Stan Wawrinka having one during the French Open

I think the blue works for a bit of fun, don't think the brown does for my RG, looks a bit too pooey.

I’ve ordered the blue today but apparently it might not be available until the spring.

Fully with you on this. That’s a great looking watch. The straps are a bit much, unless for a holiday.
