Dubai sucks. Anyway, how’s this look?

This looks like the older version. The newer version is available from TDs, which is offered for approximately $2400, and has a better case shape/size and movement deco. That being said I cannot recommend spending $2400 on a watch with a movement based on a Miyota, not a true clone. But each to their own.

Makes sense, what do you think about RM 55 with Vaucher Clone movement and CNC NPTP Case ? Worth spending the $10k ?

I think those have come down to about $5-6K range I believe Puretime is selling them with only crypto payment. Back in the day when AP ROO was the bees knees a lot of people including me were spending close to that amount on Frankens but that included Gen Parts. So it's up to you if you like the watch enough to spend that money on it. If you plan on keeping it and enjoying it for what it is, then go for it. But if you think you'd like to sell it down the line to recover funds or if a different version comes out it will be a tough sell and might be hard to recover what you spent on it. These are custom pieces without any gen parts so the value depends on what the buyer is willing to pay. Remember when these clones were initially launched they were asking 20k for these clones and close to 30-40K for the Vaucher/Permigiani movement. Latter is still in the $10-15K range I believe.
