JCC296 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Guys the AP themes Offshore retails for $19,000.00 , any walking fool can get a 30% Discount and Tax free if bought from the right watch dealer so a brand new watch is around $12,000 The watch I bought is a AP Themes with white dial and the guy took it to service in AP store in vegas and was quoted $6,000 for the service and bullshit that was needed. The guy offered me the Watch for $6000 which seems like a fair deal and there we go Ill take pics and post them just to make this point , If you guys like that watch just look for a good deal. If you notice on ebay 95% of the AP's there end the auctions unsold because those pieces are not moving right now. Your situation doesn't apply to the real market value of such a piece. If the watch is 100% authentic, then seller is completely unaware of how much his watch truly worth which gives the fact that you were just lucky. I'd highly suggest you post a picture of the watch because there are good fakes out there. You can only tell by observing the bubble on the date window. For the record, AP Las Vegas does NOT service watch. You should always send your watches to AP Service Center in FL. A dealer WILL NOT quote you cost of repair....leave alone $6000...LOL My guess is that, 1st - the seller is unaware of anything and gave it to you for nothing; or 2nd -he made up a story to make you think you got yourself a good deal. You can email me pics of your watch, and I am more than happy to help you look at it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the best of their current lineup, barring the exclusives (Barichello, etc). The rubberclads are too common now, no offense to owners as it's a hell of a watch. But the "silver themes" you posted is relatively new (first shipped this year) and looks extremely sporty yet still classy. Also like the contrast stiching on the croc strap, which they've adopted more frequently in recent years. I stupidly passed on a seller moving one earlier this year for $10k, full papers/box/etc, literally two months old. I couldn't verify any of his sources and was too cautious. Turned out he was totally legit and went on to sell it the next day...I've cursed that day for six months as I can't find it for less than $14k now.

Mako Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Will do, let me check the usual places and see if there's any activity. These are harder to find due to being launched in a recession year but they ARE out there. Back in March/April Gil mentioned to me that he had moved 3 or 4 of them already at that time, I'm sure we can find one at the right price.

I wonder if AP has scaled back production a bit as prices have firmed on the newer models (2009+). Love the new pieces that debuted at this week's SIHH show, AP can do no wrong (shots from timezone.com): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
