Hi, SJX,
I find it extremely unfortunate that the "standards" of the field of watch appreciation (and product positioning) have evolved to the point that 37mm case sizes are assumed to be or "look like" ladies models.
This not only shows an ignorance of past size standards, even limited to Royal Oak and RO Offshore models - the annual calendar; or the triple date, for example - but a throwback to strictly "mens" models or strictly "ladies" models; how positively cavemanish is that?!? So maybe woman should remain barefoot and pregnant, except when allowed out in public adorned with gifted jewels as some sort of "arm candy?"
Or men should remain hairy chested and inconsiderate louts who help not one whit with child care or be allowed to step into the kitchen?
So far I have not seen where it was stated by AP the model is a ladies model, but I certainly can understand how it can be construed as such (this is not the first time this subject has come up)
(I realize the absurd extension of my point of course - hey, Thomas, so you want iced models for men too? hahahahah...no comment. )
I just hope AP marketing has the wisdom not to label the basic non-jeweled model, and thus limit, its appeal as such, when the final "categorizations" are done.
Cheers,
TM
