So here we go again. Got the call from my favorite AP AD today letting me know that he's got the two pieces that make AP great. The EOT and the RO Skeleton in rose gold. He is willing to sell me the EOT at his cost of $54960 and the RG skeleton for 42K. I know the EOT is the kinda watch that defines AP but I've always lusted after the skeleton since I sold mine in all steel. Another caveat if I buy the EOT which will be personilized to my city of choice, I get a week long vacation to the Jura valley with a visit to the AP manufacture and museum. Not a bad deal. So I have no idea what to do. Please help with your advise and expertise.

Of those two, I'd go skeleton.

Very hard decision to make but I'll have to go with EOT on that one, it truly is a masterpiece!

The skeleton is a very nice looking watch but I'm afraid I cannot like it more than such a complicated timepiece, would you consider the EOT in rose gold?

kilyung · 8 October 2013, 10:32 AM

EOT, no question

EOT in RG is outta my budget at this time. I think the steel goes better with the white dial.

The complexity of the EOT is significant whereas the openworked RO is just skeleton plates. I don't mean to diminish the beauty of the openworked RO but the EOT is customized to your location.

Lamkyle · 8 October 2013, 11:49 AM

RG skeleton for me

shakeel · 8 October 2013, 11:56 AM

Tough choice but its the RG Skeleton for me!

nick c · 8 October 2013, 12:02 PM

RG

singe89 · 8 October 2013, 12:38 PM

EOT

conkers · 8 October 2013, 02:57 PM

Tough one! I think both!

lipjin · 8 October 2013, 03:37 PM

EOT. That's a grail watch

I will go with the EOT. It's a gorgeous watch.

scharnke · 8 October 2013, 04:44 PM

Skeleton!

Cru Jones · 8 October 2013, 05:48 PM

the EOT is just more special.

Andad · 8 October 2013, 06:09 PM

He will sell it to you at his COST?

And that is a piece that makes AP great.

Shouldn't it sell for above retail if that were the case?

bayerische · 8 October 2013, 06:21 PM

Skeleton would be my pick.

Is the 55K, really "his" cost? Isn't retail 68.700 usd? I'd think they had more "air" in them?

I'm a sucker for gold anyways!

horologists · 8 October 2013, 06:27 PM

EoT

AK797 · 8 October 2013, 06:28 PM

Gold skeleton just over steel EOT but if in RG that's a different matter, maybe save up a bit longer to get the RG and the very best watch you can.

travisb · 8 October 2013, 06:42 PM

2 stunners, but EOT wins it for me.

dnutz · 8 October 2013, 06:49 PM

tough choice, but EOT is so much more complicated!

Hamish · 8 October 2013, 06:58 PM

EOT everyday of the week

HL65 · 8 October 2013, 07:26 PM

Love the EOT!

texex91 · 8 October 2013, 11:21 PM

Hmmm, wow that is a dilemma. Probably EOT, but the skeleton is just so sweeeeeeeeet in RG!

Dickson Lim · 9 October 2013, 12:50 AM

Tough choice! But my heart leans slightly more towards the EOT, a true masterpiece!

s14roller · 9 October 2013, 01:16 AM

I have been in a RG kind of mood, but in this case, EOT

Soly20 · 9 October 2013, 03:23 AM

EOT for sure!

Sam Philip · 9 October 2013, 03:30 AM

EOT all the way
