If I am honest, neither of these appeal to me.
I prefer the regular double balance openworked models by a good bit over this one.
For perpetual calendar, similar thought as M4. I prefer a solid dial for legibility. I still have trouble reading the small indicators with my eyes, so a PC is not a watch that typically interests me anyways (but I still love good photos of them!).
As for BMG on APs, I think it looks fabulous on certain models. Like the Jumbo with dark red dial, that one was fantastic. A bit too shiny on these open dials, IMO.

Hi AP fans, Thanks to sales manager Vincent at the boutique at IFC, I got to see these 2 amazing pieces of ROs !
The openworked Ref. 16204XT.OO.1240XT.01 (caliber 7124) is made of titanium (with Bulk Metallic Glass or “BMG” accents) and is such a HEAVY hitter, yet SO SO LIGHT ! The workmanship is very fine under a loupe. The color is also interesting because it is j...
Unfortunately, Gordon, I’m not attracted to openwork dials

I like the titanium/BMG quite a lot even though I don't consider myself an open-worked dial lover.
I would say I'm attracted to the combination of materials of this watch. You are right that it appears "bright," although it also seems easily legible. Again, while I wouldn't say open-worked dials are my thing, I do think AP (and VC) do them very well. M...

+1 to the first three responses.
Although the RO makes one of my favorite PCs, I don’t like the open worked treatment. As stated above it does appear a bit hard to read. Having said this the BMG looks like a really cool material for the case.
