I also do not see the point of what PP (or Rolex) do with their models. Personally, I find this approach not to my taste and makes me feel not too loyal to them vs others
i like to balance the choice with my over all collection too...& today PP or Rolex is not my choice only because of this...i equally doubt they never might be in my collection too even though i like some of their models.
Hard to capture that elegance in a photo but once you have one on the wrist one does have that feeling. Continue to enjoy that beauty, even if the current market conditions leave your relationship with PP a little strained.
