The other other crazy watch me and my wife tried during my pick up at AP House…

The new Collab pieces with high msrp. According to our SA, the weight of the gold link straps is heavier than a normal Royal oak that is why the retail price is higher.

I’m just not sold on those. If I had my choice of the two the Time only is actually better looking to me.

Honestly everyone has different taste to some will love it some will not.

Super cool you got to see both

What was the prices can you share them with us please

I think the same. A chronograph without proper subdials… the watch community absolutely roasted “MVMT” watches because of this.

Not for me, it screams of lower production cost and higher margin.

i think these watches are beautiful, I don't care about the practicality of the chronograph function.

I completely agree. Most people don't use their chronograph, or any other complications, for that matter.

Weight difference sounds interresting, is the bracelet thicker than the normal 15550BA for example?

Looks like a collaboration with Movado from the 1990s.

I like it. The total YG is very cool. 70's vibe.

Fugly to me to no end.
Wonder if there may be a jump the shark moment for these awful collabs

Big fan of this, I wish they didn’t have the collab text on the dial but otherwise very beautiful

The bracelet should be identical on all the 15550s (all have the same 1356 bracelet code). I was told the price is higher because "the dial is solid gold"

Frankly, I think it's all BS and they're just trying justify it. I declined my SA's offer simply because I don't think the design warrants the $12k premium over the turquoise dial version.
