Both of us notice quite similar dent located at the 12 o' clock position on our watches. I didn't really notice it when we bought the watch, just notice it after a few months of wearing it. Both of us did not recall knocking our watches. Is this a production defects? I am curious what others have experienced. Please chime in....

AP ROO GP Carbon Issue
By: M68G : June 3rd, 2011-01:27
Hi Guys, I have just gotten my 3rd AP ROO, GP Carbon a few days ago. After taking a close look on the watch I found kind of a thin dent on the upper part of the bezel surface. Just wondering whether is this normal because made of forged carbon or not norm...

Firstly, congratulations on your timepiece. The AP GP is the pinnacle F1 themed watch from any brand. Forged carbon is susceptible to a dent if hit hard enough. If your piece came like that and you did not hit it, your question might be with your dealer. ...

Hi, if you are wearing the FC watches as a every day watch - you will get - PATINA - look at my 12 month old GP - the costs for a new brezel are ok - so have fun with this stunning watch Best Soomi...
Thanks

Yes, I will enjoy and have fun with it Soomi. Thanks. I know it will be there if I use it everyday but I just don't feel good if the dent is already there when I bought it.
I'm with Soomi

Thank you Michael. That's why I want to check around first before asking the AP Boutique where I bought from, otherwise they will just give respond that it's natural because of its forged carbon material. That's what they keep telling me when I asked abou...
You are most welcome, and I am sorry for your difficulties.

I owned and enjoyed a forged carbon Alinghi for over a year, wearing it about 5 times a week for that period. I can honestly say it looked the same after all that wear as the day I received it. Still, forged carbon seems to be an evolving material for AP....
Thanks for sharing

I will enjoy it Michael. Thanks for sharing. How do you like your Trulli ? Actually I am thinking to get one too. I have tried my brother's, but I have a thought that it looks smaller than my ROO Ginza when I wear it on my hand.

I feel the same with my watch, i think it is more so a mark of a die cast of the FC or an injection point of the cast or mould. Iam sure AP factory will be a better authority to comment on this. Ovais

Hi, Is the mark already there from first time you got it?

In the UK this watch is £26000, for that you should expect perfection even if the material is groundbreaking for watches. Having tried this watch on at the dealer I now love it - very cool!

I had some similar issues. I never banged the GP on anything, but I noticed in the first couple weeks that sometimes I would rub along the edge of the forged carbon bezel and it would start to come off. I'm guessing it is simply part of the evolving forge...
