Yeah definitely, like if Audemars Piguet released watches that didn't look like an Audemars Piguet they'd definitely get a similar reaction from similar clientele.
Like this?

Technically that's a swatch release, similar to the Moonswatch. People went crazy for the royal pop though, more than I thought they would.
I know but it has their brand name all over it, so they have to own it as well.
I saw a lot from both sides. Some loved it and others were pissed.
No doubt!
