Sorry i forgot to measure the size of the case.
I was wearing my Speak-Marin 38mm when i was in the shop and the Jumbo seems the same size, so i would guess its at least 39mm.

Its off to the service center come Monday. So i guess when i receive notice from them then i can update everyone on their findings.

Sadly will take at least a month just to get the service estimate.

A friendly member pointed me to a FS thread on another forum of the same model watch. All i can tell from the other thread is that the dial does not have minute markers.

But on the sales thread it did mention it had a replacement dial and hands and thus a "Swiss Made" on the bottom of the dial.

I appreciate all that help until now and i thank you guys!

On a side note i found out from the website that i can request a certificate or origin of authenticity from AP, has anyone done it before?
The SA in the boutique said it cant be done, oh well..maybe they dont know this service exist.

Some questions on this Jumbo.

By: takashi78 : April 21st, 2012-03:43

Had a chance to look at this vintage Jumbo. Can i call it that? Just had a few things on my mind before pulling the trigger. 1- The seller had no idea from what year or period it is from? I can see at the case back the serial number is only 3 digits. No a...

from the font of the text on the dial...

it looks like a late seventies Ref. 5402 so it is a Vintage Jumbo, did you take pics of the caseback and the crown and the clasp of the bracelet? how is the condition of the bracelet? is it tight or do the links have gaps in them? Gorgeous watch by the wa...

i am not sure, if t it is a 5402

By: only5402 : April 21st, 2012-05:27

because there are no small minute markers, as we knew from 5402 (or are there 5402 existing with this dial?). I think perhabs the watch is on a small wrist, so it seems to be as "big" as a 5402. It is perhabs another reference or perhabs not the original ...

and even without better pictures, look at ...

...the balance (summetry) between AP-Logo, hour markers at 1 and 11 and the "AUDEMARS PIGUET" really a lot of ????????????????? Stephan

Thanks for all the response guys!

I really appreciate it. Maybe i was in too much of a rush and reacted too quickly. The watch is actually currently at the AP boutique and being arranged to have it sent to Singapore's AP service center to get an estimate on service cost. From my memory, t...

Lighting in boutique is not pic taking friendly

By: takashi78 : April 22nd, 2012-03:02

I tried maybe 20-30 attempts but only really got 2 pic out of it. One of the dial side. I can confirm that the dial does not have minute markers. - I did some search online and cant find any that does not have any minute markers. Now i am a bit worried. T...

Well...

The Two Tone and Gold Models of the 5402 did not come with a Letter before the number so it does not mean its an A series. Did you measure the case? was it around 39mm to 40mm?, the dial font style and the fact it's a Swiss Dial and not Swiss Made for me ...

for the second time...

By: only5402 : April 22nd, 2012-07:27

no diameter (for this you don´t need good light) and if it is a 5402 (it looks like) and even if there had been original "swiss" dials without the 5 minute marks (this also can be perhabs) on a 5402 sa (steel/gold) on a original dial AP never work like th...

Not very pleasant news. Since its been more than a month since i handed my watch in. Just emailed the Singapore SC and their response was fast. Called me back within 15mins. They sounded surprised as they instructed the Malaysia boutique to contact me in ...
