I just started a thread on this since I can’t figure out what happened other than an AP sold for $8mil and Kevin Hart was there

Exactly, spectacular. But the purists aren’t happy!

Impressive, and hopefully going to a great cause.

That said, that's barely 133 BTC. These days, it should be easier than ever to raise funds.

What was the point of hiring Kevin Hart as a professional host when FHB just wants to be the alpha and run the show?

What an effing joke, lol. Now you know where all the overhead and costs goes for the CEO to clown around with a big budget trying to be all hollywood and sht and all up in the videos acting like a little kid. I understand AP is an audacious edgy brand and I like that when it comes to watchmaking and horology, love pushing the limits, but they can have just a little bit of restraint and still churn out some bad ass watches. It looks like the path has changed now with these cartoon joke watches and cringy videos I have been seeing lately. I don't give a crap about Kevin Hart, Actors, Superheroes, and Chinese boy band Justin Biebers. I care about fine watchmaking, pushing the limits of watchmaking, passion and art of horology.

He's the watch Suge. I wonder what Thierry Diddy's next move will be?
