i cant see how people would perceive that as an AP watch as opposed to a g-shock watch. infact, i think AP has gone way overboard with their ROO designs...making AP watches look like kids watches. i still prefer the simple look of AP roo diver and AP ro 15400. anything beyond that looks cheap.
Aha! You are a classic connoisseur! :-D
But it would be nice to appreciate other people's taste as well.
Contemporary ROO sports watch designs are what enabled AP to sustain their business as it rings true to what people want to see in their sports watch.
AP still produces countless other more elegant piece which are not possible to rep but also watches like Grand Prix series which reminds us of motor sport heritage.
g-shock on the other hand has no heritage in their design elements amd made out of plastic.
Believe me I have both and there are more than subtle difference between the two. ;-)
