Yellow & Black... Another BEE? Not quite...

They are rarer!

Tried on these two babies yesterday. They are sweet

The details are really intriguing.

Jalan Bukit Bintang (JBB), also nicknamed KillBill due to its yellow/black theme, is a commemorative model created for the AP boutique located at Jalan Bukit Bintang ("Star Hill Street" in English) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The blackened hex screws on the bezel, bright yellow numerals and hands as well as the stock yellow strap with black stitch really stand out!

And the End of Day... don't think I need to further elaborate its rareness and collectibility. Scrutinizing it while holding it in my hand was an amazing experience.

Personally, I find it interesting that these 2 watches share the same yellow & black color scheme on the main dial and hands, while interchange the similar colors on the strap & stitch, as well as on the bezel and hex screws. AP has been able to use just yellow and black very effectively to create some amazing ROO models!

Enjoy the pics!

Love the iconic EOD and wish the Bee had the yellow hands.

I love the titanium kill bill, prefer it with the black croc and yellow sticking. A rare AP that comes with two coloured straps. Giving serious thoughts to this one but the Ginza keeps calling me.

Hmm is the EOD BNIB ?? Intresting as this was released back in 1998 ? Or am I missing something here ?? Only reason I can think of is the slow manufacturing cycle and the LE takes 12 yrs to complete ?

Nevertheless, one of my childhood hero watches !!!

The EOD is super bad a$$!!! IMO, the yellow strap on the Killbill is an overkill... Kinda reminds me of those Daytona South Beach editions.

Actually a Bee strap wouldn't fit the EOD because they have different cases.

The EOD originally came with one calf band a velcro strap.

That is a damn good point and now that I think about it duh!

I like the Velcro strap on it better as it suits the watch better for me given the character from movie!

Thanks for sharing. 2 great looking watches but I think the yellow strap is just too much for me.
