It's Tuesday So It Must Be The EOT !
Hi all : The newest and most complicated watch I'ver owned is in house. Thanks to all for their kind comments & advise to get to this point. This watch at first glance can easily be overlooked but the more time you spend with it and the hefty manual, you understand the brillance behind it. To be perfectly honest, I bought it purely on asthetics, love the 42MM case and the wonderfully colored cream dial. I love the thinness of the case to house such an epic movement and love the fact it has a open case back to show the breathtakingly decorated rotor. Enough wax-poetic. Here are the pics.

Wonderful!

Even though I voted skeleton, I now think you made the correct choice!

Enjoy!

Absolutely beautiful watch! Question for you - if you ever need to change the location, do they completely replace the 'location ring'?

Yes, the normal charge is around 5K but since I don't live in Miami, the boutique said they would customize it once on the house, to the city of my choice. NYC it is.

Wow - $5k is a hefty sum for just the ring, but that's great it was worked into the deal! I wonder how often AP ends up tossing the original ring given how few boutiques there are?

I thought the same too... then I watched the video. They'll be changing a lot more than just the ring!

This complication is pretty remarkable and unique. Don't know if PP, VC,Brequet etc etc make such a complication. Could it be proprietary to AP ?

Congratulations, it looks very impressive.

Where can one learn more about how the EOT works and the movement?
