I don't really get why some get their expensive watches serviced by third party watch makers. It's penny wise, pound foolish imho. [nt]

Service at AP Boutique only
Picked up a second hand watch that had been serviced by a grey agent with no idea. My advice “don’t do it” On the bright side I will have a like new watch returned with a full 2 year warranty ...
AP Service performed at Clearwater, FL is superb.
I see that your document is from Singapore. I would be surprised if you aren't very pleased with the outcome. M4
I can never figure this out
why would someone buy an expensive and delicate piece and cheap-out on servicing it? I am on your side, take the hit for service now and enjoy your "like-new" watch.
Good on you for letting AP restore it correctly
My eyes cry seeing beautiful old APs listed for sale that clearly were polished outside of AP walls (so easy to tell). I only imagine the same guys trying to service a movement and I cringe.
With The Royal Oak I really worry about a third party disfiguring the case with a polish
At least the bezel can be easily replaced. And then there is the movement, of course.
I once too was in your situation
Since it was a "vintage" RO, it had to go back to it's birth place for a service. Cost of service was about usd6000, from the papers i think 70% of the movement was replaced. No WR warranty though, since it's vintage. Repair took bout 8-9months.
