I think they are just not common, all AP are great, personally I like a simple dial, but they are still a great asset.

On the contrary I like it a lot, one of my 3 favorite Ap's, with the equation of time and the Jumbo, just too bad they don't have transparent case back but it's a great piece IMO

Quite like the white dialed version; I had flirted with the idea of getting it first but ended up going with 41mm ROC. I believe they have stopped making it now also?

Really like the DT as well, but taking price into consideration I think I prefer the Vacheron DT.

I'm not a fan because of the lack of symmetry.

A special dial for me, white is the best of 3 colors.

I like them.

Was thinking of one this autumn, but went with the Annual Calendar instead. Maybe next year. It's a nice looking complication.

Also very nice. Was thinking about that one too!

I enjoy the "cheap" 36mm AP's, as everyone wants the big ones.

I want to like the AP Dual time... Checks all my boxes, but something about the dial that is not quite right for me. the PP5712 asymetrical dial works, this one I struggle with. I was just at the AP boutique yesterday to check it out in the metal. The white dial is nice, but something about the 15202 that keeps calling my name.

I love the layout and I like dual time watches as I travel often. However, the lack of a seconds hand is a show stopper for me

Something about this watch is so interesting to me. The dial is hypnotizing somehow... like its looking at you.

I had a black dial Dual Time for a few years, I really liked the watch, and using the dual time feature was very easy. The date was a bit slow to set so I often left it at the wrong date, a minor quibble but it did bother me. Overall, I prefer the clean look and the larger case size of the 15400, and that is a watch I plan to pick up at some point down the track.

The movement is gorgeous, and although it was designed by JLC as per the AP watch technician that I spoke to it's entirely in House made unlike many of the Chronos. It would have been nice to have a display back, another reason why I prefer the 15400.

Mind to elaborate more regarding this buddy? I've read about this somewhere that AP bought the unassembled movement from JLC, but I couldn't manage to dig them out at the moment.
