Yeah...and to be honest, I wouldn't mind if I never saw it again.

Yet another Limited Edition but, due to the colour scheme, probably also a very limited appeal.

seems they dont get tired of new version. The only one that I will consider would be the Safari

It's hard to take "limited editions" seriously with any brand these days. A limited edition used to connote a special model, perhaps with a unique caliber movement or unique features. Examples in the Lange line would include the 1815 moonphase, the L1 tourbillon or the PLM tourbillon, or even the Anniversary model. Each watch has something special and is truly limited in production.

AP, JLC and I'm sure countless other manufacturers make a limited edition based on dial color or logo, etc. Sure they'll limit the amounts of that model, but a year or two later, they'll release a new limited edition with a different dial/color combo.

IMO, that practice is just a racket to drum up business or excitement, but not a truly limited edition.

OK-rant off.

Agree entirely, Marc.
Omega are gulity of the same with the Speedmaster.

[Phonetrader]

nowadays. They make more limited than non limited editions of the APRO :(

ugly and just another stupid LE.

Everytime AP discovers a new color they think they need to make a LE :(

[red herring]

another Offshore. What will they think of next?
