Looking at each of these pieces from the viewpoint of the QP as a practical, modern feat of engineering versus the openworked Jumbo as a unique, impressive combination of materials then which would you choose, or neither? Disregarding price (although they...  

Although I appreciate the complexity which goes into a QP they've never appealed to me.

The openworked version is not my favorite. QP's are not easily legible to my eyes, but the AP looks real good.

“what would Michael do?🤔” The majority responses here leans to QP, which in part is because I understand not everyone likes OW aesthetic. Also, this OW is particularly harder to read I think…but I don’t think that is main reason people choosing this would... 

Personally the skeleton becos I am not one who will bother to set a perp….

I’m not sure if this QP is much easier just because it’s all done from the crown, but it’s still not without reasonable effort to set…which does give me pause.

For me one the most desirable ROs

But the QP here, ArmisT.

but I prefer the ones without the week indication, either the 26684 or 25820.

I tried the rose gold version on once unexpectedly, and if I had had the cash in my pocket, it would have been my first impulse buy ever. I just fell in love instantly.

This particular openwork has the key feature of being 39mm and on the thinner side. That is a big deal to me.

I feel skeletons are something you know from the beginning whether you like or not. Thanks, Emmanuel🙏🏽

I have a slight preference for the BMG jumbo because it highlights many of AP's superlatives in the most classic case. A) movement finishing B) ultra thinness C) materials innovation It's also extraordinarily light - and this is a game changer for daily w... 

I like the concept of the open/skeleton dial. The problem IMO is in too many you can never read/see the time. Case in point.

I am not a huge fan of skeletonized dials.
