I'm officially an old fart. I was wondering why they would released a limited edition for US President Lyndon Baines Johnson, the LBJ of his time.

Well I'm not old, and that's what I thought he meant... That's the only LBJ in my book. Im pretty sure everywhere but miami he's known by his surname, LeChoke....

How did you get that address? It's quite interesting.
You should probably find an article about the future SIHH2014.

Technically, shouldn't it be LRJ, for LeBron Raymond James?

Looks cool to my eye, as far as these specialty watches are concerned anyways. Calling Lebron a choke artist at this point is just foolish. He's clearly the most talented player we have seen in a long time.

Ouch just not feeling the combo and I am sorry just don't like the tie in with Lebron either although I am a fan of his.

I am sure some folks out there may like it though.

I think sometimes AP gets carried away with their celebrity edition watches. I just hope we don't see a Justin Bieber edition in 2015.

Watch looks cool, but I'm sure it's massively large!

Love the look
But not the affiliation, with celebrity sportsman

Brilliant

Il never walk into a Ap store again if that happened
That would be suicide for AP

Can't really say I like this one that much, although I'm sure it will sell big.
Much rather have a Schumi or GP..

I don't really like the color combo. Maybe viewing in person gives off a better vibe. Anyway, I wouldn't buy a watch with LBJ's name on it. He is not too much of an icon for me to buy something with his name on it. Maybe after he wins 7 or 8 more titles....

i dont know if its true that they really are coming out with an LBJ edition but honestly that would just degrade the image of the brand. i don't see lebron as an icon until he does it on his own without wade and bosh. anyways, good luck to selling that watch which looks like it was photo shopped. pathetic.

As I mentioned
Audemars Piguet is hosting a private unveiling event in Miami for lebron and his watch, it's confirmed and real! I'm going so ill take tons of pics

Anyway, I'm not a fan of Lebron either ... And hate all of these ap LE's as well, however , such is life. They aren't making as many as they use to
