Whoa, Calm down Guys...
A Bathing Ape Image is an iconic streetwear Institution with a huge cult-like following (often underestimated by critics and haters alike ) that has withstood the test of time. They just have this uncanny ability to make any stuff waaayy cooler than it really is AND they are backed by some of the music industry's biggest superstars, so there you go...

Just like their 'Oh So Unique' clothing line lifestyle and BAPE x Adidas Ultra Boost sneakers (Just released, like 4 days ago!), I predict BAPE x Seiko Diver co-branding LE watches with its signature ABC camo will be sold out, will always command a higher price tag and high resale value...

So how popular is BAPE among watch collectors anyway? If memory serves me correctly, many people actually thought the Sinn U1 Camo LE released in 2016 was a Sinn x BAPE collaborative effort ( or Sinn copied BAPE and not the other way around!) Hey! Just look no further than the recently released Nov 2018 Bell & Ross x BAPE 25th Ann Edition watches.
My point is BAPE knows damn well they have another winner here in the Seiko Mechanical Divers. ImageImageImageImageImage

I'd never heard of BAPE before today (thank God), which actually makes me despise that watch even more.

Really?
It’s been discussed quite a few times with the ezm1 and the waste of a lemania 5100 it is.
For what it’s worth- it’s not that bad. I think it looks better than the U1 camo.

Was referring to the fashion line, or whatever you want to call it, but I've seen the camo watches before.

A quick google search of Bape reminds me why I would NEVER wear any of that shit.

If you google celebrities wearing bape it’s more evident.

It may sell but good god it’s ugly...

That's so sweet of you @rockmastermike /wde. How are you Sir? I remember your avatar but rarely post my thoughts on the forum these days. Still faithfully serving my life ban sentence on a couple of forums without the possibility of parole, remember? Image

OK. Let's get this straight. The target market for one of the most hyped brands in streetwear is aimed at a very specific bunch of consumers such as a) Flippers like myself. Ok I said it! b) Gen Z or Post Millennials c) Trendsetters d) Individuals who simply want to stand out from the crowd e) Filthy rich kids with expensive taste and money to blow. The added bonus of that tongue-in-cheek treatment of BAPE customers is also, ironically its greatest appeal. Just like the triumphant euphoric feeling of owning a BAPE bordering on madness beyond the reach of mortal human beings is a total out of this world experience!!! OK. You get the picture Image

SJX mentions that the retail price of the Seiko Diver SZEL003 x BAPE would be what? around US$550 in Japan but I'm having this sneaky feeling the asking price of a minty pre owned Seiko with the simian twist in the open market would be north of US $1K
For comparison sake, the current market price for a FS pre owned G Shock GA 110 x BAPE XXV Ann all minty-like in my local ebay market ranges between US$ 700-900. No kidding! Anyone here knows what the MSRP was when the watch was first launched back in Sept 2018 ?
Even before the dust settles and the naysayers have had their say, the Seiko Diver x BAPE collab watch would be Sold Out or Sorry. Out of Stock. As usual, potential buyers will have to pay a handsome premium and the Bathing Ape will have the last laugh all the way to the Bank.... ImageImageImage

I know what BAPE is. The brand sucks. You're not some super educated consumer here to inspire us with your wisdom.

I also think you're probably a dude.

OMG TRF invasion.
BAPE sucks and is low quality for the money just like another brand Supreme. The only thing decent in terms of quality are collabs with known brand names like Adidas. But still ugly. JP is right , you're not teaching us anything new pumpkin
