Javier- I just looked back and found your solicitation for opinions on the AP LeBron in anticipation of your purchasing it. Per below it's ugly! As the man said don't post unless...

The face of my PP is in fact way to cluttered

Now to the greater issue at hand, once again CONGRATULATIONS! A piece that in my opinion is perfect in many ways! Enjoy it and know that many of us who own a modest collection are extremely jealous.
Yup "modest"

Thank you for the kind words but I disagree that your face is too cluttered. 5524 is fantastic!

I haven’t seen Bryant’s face to form an opinion on whether it’s cluttered or not, but the 5524’s dial would be best described as full rather than cluttered.
Still think those pushers leave a lot to be desired though.

Congrats on the 5522. Looks great on your wrist,,,sporty clean dial, great strap and VERY exclusive. You are one lucky fella, I am very envious and sounds like one or two other jealous members on this thread too

no- I didnt miss it. you never posted it. Cause you dont own one. Probably cant afford one.

I dont understand people like you.

You spend time on a forum whose product you obviously dont own or like.
You troll threads trying to get a reaction.

There is zero reason for you to be on this thread other than to try to instigate and try to cause problems. No one cares about your opinion of Patek.

Your only intention is to try to insult and try to start a fight. good luck with all that. Ive known losers like you all my life and I laugh in your general direction when I care to give two shits.

Military Grade Tit - yup. you describe your self well.

No go to the Casio forum. They are wanting some opinions on their new G-Shock. Its more along your price point.

Nah- they aren't jealous. PJS is working hard to save up enough money to try to buy one on the secondary market. Right now he is busy creating his Casio G-Shock thread. he is going to educate us all on the benefits of a digital watch.

His G-Shock can tell the date for sure.

The pushers may in fact not be to everyone's liking. Fair point. Thankfully my collection allows me to rotate through a variety of brands and individual watches as points of comparison. The 5524 pushers tend to be more pronounced and uncomfortable on the wrist then my AP ROO, PP Perps, and Rolex Datonas. I wear it as something different and unique but again fair point.

Which leads me to ask what watches do you own that you are comparing it to please? Photo? Looked back a long way and noticed you hadn't contributed any photos.

And yes I am baiting you because I suspect we all know the real answer. Like the kid in front of the Ferrari dealer's window who comments that F1 transmission isn't to their liking because they prefer manual transmissions. I suspect you will have a snarky response but the absence of substance will be enlightening. I actually hope I am wrong but doubt it.

Your comments bear consideration and respect but only if they are informed and not biased by jealousy or ignorance (as displayed by your Burt Lancaster comment response earlier in the week).

Cheers

Nothing more needs said, does it?

With regard to not correctly recalling an actor’s name (a dead one at that) or the movies they’ve starred in, come on… seriously? There’s stooping low, and then there’s stooping low to try and score a meaningless point.
Am I to presume that lapses in memory have been banned now?

Oh, and speaking of meaningless point scoring opportunities… I’ve corrected your spelling error – when making comparisons, the word will always be THAN, never THEN.

Yet not a watch in sight. Show it if you got it! Keep commenting from the wrong side of the glass looking in. Sad, or show me up as wrong? I can't spell but I can smell a posser.

Pjs just gives his honest opinion and doesn’t conform to all the followers. It’s an ugly watch with limited production period. Yes I do own the lebron ap. Also own a deep see James Cameron, 5980, 5270 and skydweller. Maybe a lot of you will might think it’s an ugly collection and I respect everyone’s opinion good or bad. Be an originator not a follower.
