I just can’t stand those after market diamonds.

The tackiness speaks volumes on the persons character. I rather wear a $10 Casio than blinged out watches like that.

That Combs’ watch has to be the worst thing I’ve seen in a while. Yuck. No offense to anyone that digs it.

Agreed. They will again though. It’s an economy thing for sure.

Think it’s hard for RO to fly under the radar with how it reflects light! Like a Lamborghini flying under the radar IMHO.

What these modern celebrities do to AP and PP watches is basically the same thing that Guy Fieri does to food

Ha - this made me laugh. I respect Luka Doncic and the Gold Jumbo. Great ball player, too.

I love AP and Rolex for the watch brands that they are.

The fact that a more diverse crowd likes these watches does not diminish the watch brand or my love for these watches.

I love the diamonds and the bling on these watches. They are not my style, but I can appreciate the individuality and style of these watches because ultimately at the core they remain an AP

That's the beautiful thing about our hobby. I love my gold 36mm Day Date but I would never wear a 36mm Calatrava. Doesn't mean I have to trash the PP 5119 as a old mans watch for girly men with small wrists

Some of these celebrities (Anthony Davis, John Mayer and Kevin Hart) have AP collections we could only dream of.

Just my two cents.

Typical fashion magazine article for the masses and not for WIS. Don't think the writer knows anything other than a quick Googles about AP.

There's a good chance it was also written by AI and just skimmed over by a human editor that didn't know any better for corrections.

I wouldn't worry about this. Nobody takes GQ seriously. Last time I looked through one, it was nothing more than 100 pages of advertisements.
