Having the Gen to copy from is such... an amazing marketing technique..... It´s built up to be such enormous financial outlay towards the dedication to producing the best rep possible
Everywhere I see... 1:1 replicated from an original AP...Like the Trailer for a newly released $400m blockbuster film ... on the threads it talked about and mentioned with such reverence .....
The reality is one of two things... either a few people somewhere in China , simply have the most amazing and valuable AP collection
OR
The reality is that an AP is purchased... pre owned at a substantial discount.....remember, these models have been out well over two years.... so probably have been purchased at up to 40%....discount....Or bought at an AD (my AP AD gave me a straight 25% last year )
It is then dissected .. photographed in pieces in all its glory .... put on a 3D imager... and put back together by people who know exactly what they are doing, and then can be sold on making a loss of only a measly few thousand dollars.......
I´m not going to do the maths here...... but boy in the scheme of things..... against the revenue coming in ..... the cost doesn´t even represent mere pennies...
Yet we all get sucked into the marketing machine.......
All the hard work was done by AP... all they have had to is copy it.....and in the modern world of manufacture the real cost of doing this once the Gen watch is sold.... Is sweet F...k All
and we ... including myself are in awe of their financial outlay... and the supposed financial risk they take to produce an accurate rep......

Channel factory seems ok for me, everybody knows, buy your wife a J12 and she will love it.
