Audemars Piguet (the real company located in Le Brassus) and JF (the factory in China) are not really doing much that is exciting these days with AP designs except offering the same watch in multiple loud colors, whereas Rolex (the real company in Geneva) and ARF/JF/Noob seems to be doing exciting things with their models (904L steel, Daytona movement clone, SD reboot with new movement, etc). At the same time, many long-lasting AP rep and Franken lovers seem to be losing their passion for APs and getting more excited about Rolex. Guru was the first to defect a few years back, then Sharrkey to Tudor, then, slowly at first and then all of a sudden, tinitonsi, Curt941, MrBeasy, ap@12, jpohl, etc. There are exceptions with people coming back from Rolex to AP, like the infamous QueTip, but for the most part, the trend seems to be very evident. State your reasons why or feel free to pontificate about this development. It seems set in stone for 2018 at least. Personally, I have 8 Rolex Frankens already, LOL.
