I guess in the current world we can call whatever we want anything we want…

I find as I get older I am tired of the younger experts telling me about history…like when I hear the 20 something YouTubers telling me about what guys in Vietnam and subsequent conflicts wore and why…ugh…it’s like dude, you read this and are regurgitating it…although I don’t think I have an old guy’s attitude…but, I think the watch is kind of cool, but, it is not a collaboration because he is dead, and maybe better called a homage to his work, which is cool…I love art can appreciate his work, but, I see no connection to the watch…back to my original point, hard to put it in words, but, feels contrived, and I just feel like younger people, maybe heirs to his estate or needing to make money from his name, are trying to tie this to history…and make some money from this…or maybe it is the wine talking,  😂

this would have no idea. I recognized it right off. Not huge fan of his work but know it when I see it.

Right. Same with me.

I'm not sure about that

He's quite popular. A lot of people would be able to recognize his work on the spot.

Leaves me flat.
