Why doesn't AP millenary get any love?
The AP ROO gets all the love but no love for the millenary. Why is that?

I love it. i guess some folks are more into RO and ROO. More versatile watches. The millenary's odd shape and leather strap limits its use. It more formal in my opinion.

I owned one several years ago. It was a fun fourth or fifth watch, but just never really found an occasion to wear it (as I'm more casual), so sold it.
If you wear suits and ties everyday it's a fun one for the rotation. |

I like the watch.
But, I have heard it described as too feminine. I don't agree with that. But apparently it is not as masculine as the RO because it does not look like a big block. |

As AP are probably the leading sports luxury brand, a dress watch is a bit like a 4 door Ferrari.

The dial and movement is no doubt nice. But it's that oval shape... I feel like I am wearing an egg when I put it on.

More of a dressy watch combined with an unusual shape limits it appeal as compared to a Royal Oak.

the open dial and balance wheel spinning is pretty cool but the oval shape lengthwise is a difficult fit on my wrist...I like it off the wrist...
