some poster said they didn't like AP aesthetically, which is fine. I used to not like it as well...until I saw one in person. Actually come to think of it, I only like the Royal Oaks and non of the Offshores.
My favorite brand is A Lange and Sohne, but too bad I'm poor.

Well, now. There's a company with a lot of history. The ALS we have in existence today was founded in 1994 (
http://monochrome-watches.com/lange-...s-price-specs/). Hublot predates them by 14 years. The name of the brand predates that by a lot, but that company and the one around now aren't remotely the same. Otherwise, it's no different than any other company that uses/purchased a brand name.

What about the other non-Royal Oak related collections?
All the best.
