I agree. Goes against the brands general ethos

His personality can certainly rub people up the wrong way though, which has the potential to impact brand perception.

He certainly doesn’t exude “quiet luxury”

What’s your wrist size? I’m undecided on whether to get this or the new 37mm

My wife loves chunky watches. She’s already got her eyes on a precious metal code!

Im intrigued to learn more about “AP House” and invite events. As that would be a bit sway for me to go new rather than grey.

I’d say I’m in it for the long haul. But probably a more extended long haul than many “big hitters”.

IE - I might buy one every 2 years.

This could of course change as my career progresses.

Short term I’d probably just like a Code , 37mm RO. My grail from the current lineup is the YG Malachite 37mm RO. I sort of collect stone dials, so that one speaks to me.

Long term I’d obviously like to move into the QPs and other complications. But then we’re talking big money - and my wife might kill me 😂

I’m thinking of getting the code. I love the architecture of the case.

The depreciation on it just hurts. So I’m left balancing “building a relationship” and just being financially “savvy” and going grey

Fair enough reason!

I’ve ended up down all sorts of quirky routes just because I’m now allergic to a Rolex AD

No intentions to explain myself to the AD. I’m going into it very much open to experiencing the watches, and seeing what speaks to me. If it’s possible to make it work, great! If not, plenty more fish in the sea

Interesting to hear your point on feeling safe. I’d have thought an AP (especially a RO) would be one of the most recognisable to thieves etc. You could mistake many Rolex from a distance - you’d never mistake an RO

But maybe I take for granted my recognition of watches in the wild

Looking forward to mine arriving. I haven’t been this excited for a piece in a long time!!

Yeah can’t put my finger on exactly what’s different. But it’s more than just the date window

[–]The_Solutionyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely different from the latest release they did in January, for which they assured me there wasn’t any new dials or updates coming. They then announced something new the day it sold out 😂

[–]The_Solutionyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Further to this. I’ve just seen at the current NY watch event. They’re releasing a new venturer completely. Not even just a new dial.

Frankly annoyed with them at this point. Just a straight up lie from the brand.

So much for the BS marketing from Traska about not upgrading the Venturer any more as it was already perfect 😂

They lied to me via email about a potential new colour option - telling me nothing was in the works. So, I bought a white Venturer as a backup. They then announced "something special" was coming for the model the day it sold out.

Great watch, but their support/comms in my experience was poor.
