That’s a great one… This whole line is such a winner for them… Can’t decide if this is a winter watch a Summer watch or perhaps I think both 😎🤙🏻👌🏻

I certainly plan to wear all 4 seasons :-)))

what do you mean one kills the other?

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-15:34

you are referring to the XPS or the Vacheron?

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-15:41
sorry maybe my mind is a bit slow today

The XPS.

 
 By: amanico : December 15th, 2023-15:42

Not at all! To me they are very different. The XPS will remain the more refine reference (sport chic) due to its movement, dial color and thinner profile. BUT

the one thing the XPS showed me was to my taste, the AE is one of the most comfortable metal bracelet sports watch I ever tried (Rolex, Vacheron, GP, etc.) so the XPS convinced me I wanted more AE in my collection. This red dial is sportier and very diffe... 

I think you did well to choose this one over the black Cadence 8HF.

 
 By: quattro_spirit : December 15th, 2023-17:00
Not only is this sunburnt red dial truly eye-catching, but I personally like the symmetry of the ordinary dial with the four Roman numerals. On the dial of the 8HF, I tend to miss the III, VI & IX and I'm not very fond of the high frequency arrow symbol w... 

Aaaah, I see your point!!!

:-)). Bon week-end!

Thanks Darren!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-18:32

Wow that looks amazing and very vibrant!

 
 By: Aquaracer1 : December 15th, 2023-16:01
I can see that dial color working from Xmas to 4th of July and beyond . Congrats and enjoy my friend!

Oh my that's nice!

 
 By: Champthekid : December 15th, 2023-16:36

Indeed! :-))

Your wrist is on fire! Thanks for sharing these pics!

 
 By: quattro_spirit : December 15th, 2023-16:40
This incandescent red gradually darkening and finally turning black is really eye-catching. Wear and enjoy it in the best of health!

Thanks again!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-18:34

I remember this one very well! Another great option!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-20:14

One of only 20 pieces worldwide!!!

 
 By: patrick_y : December 15th, 2023-18:30
That box is just amazing! And the artist's style is well captured in the box, the sapphire case back, and of course the dial.

This is fantastic!!!

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : December 15th, 2023-18:33
Congrats!!! Can I get a shot with this next to your other RE?

Thanks. You mean the XPS?

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-18:36

Of course! :)

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : December 15th, 2023-18:40

I will do that for sure shortly

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-18:53

The radiating pattern + the darkened edge dial works so well together

 
 By: MichaelC : December 15th, 2023-19:12
I really credit AP for launching that dial style years ago, and now everyone has it. But such a color theme coupled with the AE dial pattern are awesome. Congratulations!

Yes, the new Jumbo. I was referring more to the dial style that becomes darker towards the outer edge.

 
 By: MichaelC : December 15th, 2023-20:48
AP has been doing this a handful of years now, and it seems very popular these days with all brands. Mix in Chopard's AE guilloche, and it is a tremendous aesthetic.

Superb catch, dear yacomino!,👏👏👏

Very extravagant and noble watch, with this cool red dial. Very happy for you.

Thank you my friend. I was itching for a red dial watch!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-20:13

Very cool and distinctive!

 
 By: agyzace : December 15th, 2023-20:47

I think so too! Cheers

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-21:32

Wow, what a great dial.

 
 By: matto1 : December 15th, 2023-21:35

It sure is

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-21:56

Thank you my friend.

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-23:24

Thank you kindly. It’s great timing

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 15th, 2023-23:24

That Burgundy color, oh my….nice wine 🍷

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : December 16th, 2023-02:59

Thank you Raymond! It does indeed look like red wine!🍷

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 16th, 2023-03:21
Now the question is what dial would make the perfect trio with this one and the XPS? Did you ever try the chrono?

The Cadence 8Hz will make it perfect trio....like me, 3 colors, 3 movements, all different.

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : December 16th, 2023-04:27
No I did not because it's quite large at 44 or 45mm?

Yeah that would make a nice trio. The new black dial is nice.

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 16th, 2023-12:51
I am also tempted by the chrono maritime. I suspect that while it’s 44mm it should wear more like a 42mm just like I don’t find the normal AE to wear its 41mm size…feels more like a 39-40 on the wrist

Stellar watch!

 
 By: MiguelFlash : December 16th, 2023-04:57
Kudos!

Thank you Miguel!

Fabulous shots and definitely season appropriate 😁👍🏻👌🏻

 
 By: KMII : December 16th, 2023-07:05
For those of us living under the rock, what do the etchings on the case back represent? 😊

Yes they do my friend! This one also came from our mutual friend!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 30th, 2023-21:34
I got lucky with this one!
