A few shots from my stop at the AP boutique in Dubai
The EOT is infinite, while the perpetual calendar in platinum was mesmerizing

Wow! Looks like you had a great trip, K- from the custom shoemaker to AP! That is my kind of shopping ;). I have to say both watches fit you well, not that you needed any enabling ;)

The EOT is really mesmerizing. Any idea on how it wears to other 42mm offshore like the bee?

It is a relatively big RO watch, however I find it more agreeable when compared to the new RO 41 (which I do not like and prefer the 39 instead as originally designed by Genta). The dial is simply stunning and 42 fits it well. On comparing it to a 42 ROO, it is flatter on the wrist and the leather band is finer and softer than the horn back which makes it easier to wear on smaller wrists.

Wow thanks for such clear explanation! It is like I am wearing it now.
And yes, the hornback strap is always the problem for my wrist (luckily this one has a softer strap), really got to try this on!

Awesome wrist shots! BTW, that Perpetual Calendar looks like it has some light scratches in the bezel... Seems to me like a 50% discount is in order! Lol

Before you do that, I suggest keeping all your credit cards and cash far away.

Actually those are markings of the clear protective film

I wonder what are the list of cities they have in the dials. I've seen Le Brassus, NY and Dubai so far.

Aside from the models priced in the several hundreds of thousands and up, this one is my ultimate AP grail that is still within the realm of possible without winning the lottery or signing a recording contract with Jay-Z.....
