Thanks, Daos!
I've been really busy lately so away from the fora pretty much -- great to get a note from you.
Pretty frustrating to send one's watch away for so long only to have them get it wrong -- the good news is that it should be a very simple fix (uncase the watch, move the hand, recase the watch).
I recall answering a quiz you posted a while ago about the "one watch" I would keep, and responding that it was this EOT. So, I guess I won't be getting rid of it any time soon!
Hope you are well -- as of today looks as if we'll be doing business in Seoul at least for the rest of this year, so I'll have to try to find a local watch scene! I did see a Van Cleef Midnight in Paris a couple of weeks ago here (one of my faves even if it isn't at the top of everyone's lists).
All the best,
Gary G
A quick quiz
Greetings to all! After 21 weeks away for service, my EOT arrived back home this past weekend. Looks fine (I didn't have the case refinished, as I'm just going to wear it again anyway), runs great. So -- can you tell why I'm sending it back? Seems it's al...
You sunset time appears to be off a bit.
Hope it is corrected and back to you quickly. In any case, it is such an amazing and beautiful watch. respo
:-O
Sorry to read this, Gary! That's so frustrating. I am not sure how zen I personally could've been about this issue had it been my watch! Hope you've been well! Cheers, Daos

Looking forward to seeing photos of Seoul captured by your great "eye."
I actually like the Van Cleef and Arpels romantic complications. I wouldn't wear them, as they aren't my style, but I do admire them quite a bit. If you're traveling, do so safely! Cheers, Daos
The EOT is my "Grail" watch
Hello Gary, What a beautiful watch! The EOT remains my "grail" watch. My wife got me the latest 43mm Jules Audemars version in YG for my 45th birthday! I was torn between the WG and the YG versions; the YG matches my wedding band and Stanford class ring, ...
EOT is a great watch.
Will be going to the AP spa for a cam change real soon. AP has my new cam, cannot wait to change to my home town. JerryW...
What is the ETA on the EOT Cam Change?
If I go to a spa I'm good for about one hour at the most, so my question is how long will your AP remain at the (cam-change) spa? Does the AD or does AP give an estimate on this time and what is the process? Do you first inform AP or the AD that you would...
I ordered the new cam in December.
It finally arrived about 3 weeks ago. I am now ready to part with my EOT for the change, hope it is only a few weeks. Will keep you posted. I am a big RO fan but I really like my EOT. JerryW
Thanks for the ETA...I hope you have a short TAR
Thanks, Jerry. I will start the conversation about ordering a cam when I return home. Good luck with your install. I hope the TAR (turnaround) is less than the ETA on your EOT. To a great watch and a bunch of acronyms! Byron
Thanks for the informative post, Byron!
Great to read about your impressions of this great piece -- and congrats on owning the newer version of this beauty. They do depreciate, though -- I've been told that the geography-specific element of the design (my watch is a San Francisco piece, and hap...
It's about (Equation of) Time!
Hello Gary, I forgot to post a picture of my EOT. I got the watch and never posted a picture taken this past summer. I still love the WG version as well, but somehow the YG watch that I own just seems at home on my wrist with my YG wedding band and class ...
Question
Out of curiosity Gary do they give you any form of compensation for wasting your time on this? As well as retaining your watch? Chris
Thanks for the question
We'll see about any compensation -- I did mention to the AD that if AP asked, I'd be pleased for them to refinish the bezel. That said, I'm not holding my breath. The original time quoted for the initial service was 14 weeks, and it took 20 -- not good. N...
