I think the Platinum version is cool looking. Congratulations for your long term relationship with it!
I always buy what I like, for me, and could care less if others agree with or approve the decision. But honestly, when I see celebrities wearing and hyping something, I become less interested. I see Kevin Hart wearing a different AP on every TV commercial he is on, and I wonder if he even knows how to correctly pronounce the name. If he had a betting company for that, I definitely know which way I would wager!
