I enjoy the events.
I'm not a fan of the new LBJ.

I apologize if I sounded harsh Travis, is just that when you really appreciate a brand and they come up with something so distasteful as this, it just gets to me. I need to lay off the Ap sauce...

No worries.
I too love AP for its craft, quality and history.
Not a fan of the continuous LEs.
There are some I like (RB2 and Alinghi for example).
My favorite APs are classics such as the 15202, 15300, 15400 and standard Offshores.

X100. Same here.

Concur with the others here. Not a fan of any ROO celebrity-branded LE.
That said, the ROO has its place within the AP lineup despite many WIS opinions. For one, it is probably the biggest cash cow for AP. But it's also the only range where they can innovate with exotic materials - carbon, ceramic, cermet, etc.
It's also more 'accessible' for those not looking for a 1900's style dress watch aka PP Calatrava, ALS Saxonia, Jules Audemars. If they only made that one range AP would not have the market recognition it has today.
