he he, need to psychoanalyse Lebron to understand why he did that with the diamonds. Guess it is a show of respect for the rap gliterati bros. Basketball players designing watches. Weird world.

I love the dial quality but not sold on the color combo. Send me wristies when you get!

Will do. I like that the LBJ stands outside the AP template / cookie-cutter lines. Color combo is great, IMO. But the availabilitiy of aftermarket straps is pretty poor, unless Vic steps in.
slaughterer62 after seeing your QC pic above my opinion has changed, looks really nice. Will wait for the wristies and decide.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Very True!
Always thought it looked more Hublot-ish. Maybe it started as a Hublot project and ended up somehow at AP : )
Thx a lot Slaught .... and if you need to go new OEM and need help getting one, let me know.

When you design watches for the creative artists of music industry, I am not sure you are designing watches for any and every person. At that point, the watch is a niche product: elitist, rare, expensive, etc. The rep industry, on the other hand, is inherently popularist and democratic. Reps make luxury accessible and within reach. That means rep consumers really need to think more: is this crazy watch for me or not? Is this my taste or not? It is a hard decision with regard to LBJ, as there is something accessible about the watch, even if the bling is there.
I think the LBJ is less blingy than a full rosegold 2014 ROO .... the grry dial, grey rubber strap and grey details tones it down.
Like the watch a lot but have the anthracite full ceramic on my mind.

Jist put AP and Limited Edtion on a watch and people will line up to buy regardless of the taste level.

Not necessarily. I will never buy any "racing" AP ROOs. No Schumi, Buemi, Baricello. Matter of individual taste, so your argument is invalid.
I personally can care less if the watch is LE or named after a celebrity...If I like the way it looks I buy it...I personally love the combination of grey and gold ...So I bought 2...

Im talking about gen ap buyers. Also, all the models you mentioned above are most thought after for both gen and rep buyers. Hope we got some re issues of the older racing ones.
You might be correct for some countries ... unfortunately in my country the watch is a shelf warmer, it sold in veeeery low numbers. Other countries, different customers, different sales figures. (this information came straight from the sales-manager AP in my country).

There does seem to be regional differences with watch styles. Rappers and sports stars globally seem to dig decorated gold watches and especially gold watches encrusted with jewels. Asia seems to dig these type of watches too.
In Europe such watches would be looked down upon with the wearer branded tasteless and simply lower class regardless of their wealth.
What is with the new fake diamond encrusted new AP releases? Truely awful and surely the factory shouldnt have bothered? How many people are actually going to buy them?
