Sent in a beat up AP for full service/restoration

Don't have a real good before picture but this should give you some idea (first picture, actually a year old so add another year of wear to it): The case was scratched to hell from wearing it almost daily for 5 years. The crystal was scratched, the strap was worn out. Picked the watch up today after a complete service: New crystal, all scratches removed, new band, all gaskets/seals replaced as well as a complete overhaul. Watch came back looking like it had never been worn before.

How much is that restoration?

 

It came out to $2,100 with taxes, but the watch came back looking like it has never been worn before, was even wrapped like a new watch. I've seen BMWRACER mention slow turnaround at the AP service center, my watch was only there for 2 months though. I was expecting a longer wait.

Very nice! After all my talk about never spending that kind of money for a new AP I find myself really wanting one lately. Someday! They did an amazing job!

I haven't had one noticeable scratch on my crystal sapphire on my Tag, yet. And the SS surround is still brand-new looking. Daily watch. You must have beat the HELL out of your AP to get the face that bad.

Is that not allowed ?

Haven't been on here much recently due to birth of little one, and also starting to become increasingly interested in high-end watches.... any skin off your back for me to post ?

Would you like me to replace the front page of your newspaper with a six month old story you already read for no reason, other than the fact I would like you to know I just read it?

Alright, understandable.

I will pay closer attention to the dates, and not make posts unless they are more contributing that a simple, basic comment - i.e. if something more to offer that is credible.

Sorry to bother you, and thanks for enlightening me.

Regards.
