That's just the beginning.... There are so many heroes, so stay tuned, more LE

I don't like it, it's just a toy to praise a comic hero.
Something you might expect to find on a fake watch stand
The auction result...well, we all know how they work.

AP Black Panther 250ex

I find it really well done and would like to discover it on my wrist before giving my feelings ;-) ...

Exactly!
By: radone : April 10th, 2021-09:35
I like the dial depth and the numerals, indexes. The panther is not for me.

Completely agree.
By: NoH : April 10th, 2021-12:51
And unfortunately I feel the Panther ruins it. Everyone to their own of course.
Having an early look...

42mm concept with a flying Tourbillon and ceramic bezel makes the watch extremely wearable on a day to day basis. The box itself is pretty exciting too. Pricing as I understand is relatively reasonable. Of course, the biggest question for aficionados will...
I had a chance to see it in person...
By: pfang56 : April 11th, 2021-08:24
Pretty incredible craftsmanship, finishing, details, etc. Sizing is perfect at 42mm and the Tourbillon cage is incredible. And a really cool box (it actually lights up)! Again, not for everybody. I also think there could have been equally successful if th...
Agree! What if it was not a BP?
By: pfang56 : April 10th, 2021-09:45
Let's take for instance a skull - which is so popular these days. I think there is great potential with the lineup - it's also an excuse to "test the market" a little bit with some audacious designs. I get a feeling there will probably still be 250 happy ...
Exactly, Patrick. To each his own.
By: MichaelC : April 10th, 2021-09:56
A gun for me, a car for you, other things for other folks. I never knock other peoples interests. I think it is incredible how much money was raised around today's event, what a positive story in a world of mostly doom and gloom. Bravo, AP. This brand is ...
You and me

If this continues, it will put off many serious collectors. Just silly.

Yes, part of a 15 years long work on AP's part.
By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : April 11th, 2021-08:59
Rap stars a decade ago and athletes carefully chosen such as Serena Williams and boxer Anthony Joshua. Now this. All to renew and continue building AP's efforts to grow a new and younger market for mechanical watches.
Damn ugly 🤢
By: Fat Bastard : April 10th, 2021-10:21
I love how with the figurine and the central wheel are positioned ; Black Panther seems to be coming at you « balls out » 🤣
Mixed feelings
By: Tim_M : April 10th, 2021-10:35
I believe it would have been better if the dial had stuck with color palette-driven themes and saved the explicit "Panther" branding for the caseback. Best, Tim
Is this a step closer to the Richard Mille segment?
By: pfang56 : April 10th, 2021-10:38
Actually, after think about this further - could this be seen as AP's move to the RM segment? There are many of these rather special collaborations with RM leading to some pretty incredible valuations - but I imagine would not be ideal for most of us in t...
Well said, oyster case.

A lot of watch brands talk about being audacious, but few are. AP talks the talk and walks the walk. M4

Fitting super cheesy toy characters in mega dollar watches is an art, AP did not master the rules before breaking it here... The main problem is not the how the watch looks but its target audience... I wish FHB would keep some funding to increase his QC s...

By: MiguelFlash : April 10th, 2021-16:01
I never would have thought that a member of the so called trinity would make a comic book watch that if I saw in Walmart toy section I wouldn’t pay more than $10 for as a gift for my son. They should be embarrassed imho. But that is just my opinion.
Why?

Seriously?

Whoever buys this must be mentally challenged. This is a real joke. I’ve lost a ton of respect for AP. This is also the reason why I’ve gone on to collect independents.
