Jumbo 15202 dial versions
Dec 30, 2016,10:48 AM
Hi Michael, actually since the release of the 40th anniversary of Royal oak 15202 jumbo in 2012, the first batch had a light blue colour dial, and a thinner AP logo.
And after sometime, the later jumbos in 2014 has much darker dial, and the AP logo is wider, with a white gap in between the A and P.

The ASTOUNDING Audemars Piguet N.A. Service Center!!!
By: MichaelC : December 8th, 2016-10:08
Today, a mere 19 days after sending in my beloved Royal Oak Extra Thin to AP for service, I have received it back. More importantly than this ultra-fast turnaround, the repair was properly completed, and not a single handling mark of any kind has been add...
Glad somebody has had good service.....

and couldn't happen to a nicer chap....congrats. My turnaround couldn't have been any more different...!!! Yours my friend, Andy.
Nice to hear!

Good service is certainly a hallmark of a serious brand and it is reassuring to hear it all worked flawlessly in your case
I would say that. They deserve the credit.
By: MichaelC : December 8th, 2016-12:21
It has been painful at times to read other members from around the world have difficulty with service work. Here in the United States / North America, AP has the service center operating as an industry standard. That is very reassuring for us
Hong Kong service centre.

The HK service centre is great also. When I previously serviced a RO I got it back in awesome condition, plus a month ahead of schedule.
Great to hear!
By: patrick_y : December 8th, 2016-12:46
We often hear of only complaints on the forum. It's great to see credit where credit is due! Definitely makes me want to buy an AP in the future!
Indeed, the new normal at AP Clearwater!

I sent them a perpetual that didnt even work --- fixed WAY faster than expected for a lower cost than expected with similar amazing communication. Ditto when I sent them my rose gold Star wheel I also love the new service sealed boxes they use to send the...
For sure Arie.

The 19 days borders on ludicrous... if anyone is mad at AP about that, it is my other pieces, which assumed they had at least a month or two to find more wrist time I hope my feedback is observed and AP can get all of their authorized service centers work...
Great to hear!
By: logan2z : December 8th, 2016-16:50
Very happy to hear of your superlative experience with the US service center. Being a US-based AP owner, this gives me confidence to send my AP in for service when the time comes.
We are in that boat together.
By: MichaelC : December 8th, 2016-19:46
Even though all my AP service experiences have been positive, this latest one has me really amped up to buy a new AP. I would say that is a good result for AP.
Great news!

19 days is a superb turnaround time! Thank you for sharing a positive experience, as it\'s good to know that AP is improving.

I'm glad to see it back in your wrist...

... within such a short time. *thumbsup* Reads like an excellent experience, and I agree with the others about service that leads by example. I would have been curious; did you ask what was broken? Best regards from another freezing region on earth, Kolos...
Nothing was actually broken...
By: MichaelC : December 9th, 2016-09:59
It involved a small screw loosening along the stem. Very easy repair. Who knows, perhaps when the movement was initially assembled 3+ years ago, not enough loctite was applied to the threads. Stay warm, Kolosstt!
Return Kit
By: M2wo : December 9th, 2016-00:00
You mention a "Return Kit" that was sent to you. Do you have a picture of that? I have never heard of or seen a return kit (for any brand) Would love to see what it is.
I made a post about it...
By: MichaelC : December 9th, 2016-10:04
I have tried to post a link to it but never figure it out. Anyways, the "kit" is a full foam box AP sends with all necessary return packaging: ...
Nice!
By: M2wo : December 10th, 2016-23:39
Thanks for the pics. Seeing something like this for the first time!
It was my first time too
By: MichaelC : December 11th, 2016-07:38
I was very impressed. Once packaged, the watch was very secure and ready for the rigors of shipment.
It is encouraging to learn about your superb experience with APSC...

I know that the service centre in Singapore is working hard to enhance their service and repair quality and and I'm confident that they can live up to the same excellent standard. Congrats too for getting your watch back in a totally satisfactory conditio...
Thanks Wayne. The experience was quite enjoyable, truth be told.
By: MichaelC : December 9th, 2016-10:10
You think about it, when the crown first came out of the case, I thought "Oh no". In a split second, you realize the service process is necessary, and you think of stories you have heard. But from the instant I first contacted Francina at the AP Boutique,...
The AP Service Center in Clearwater is amazing.
By: JerryW : December 9th, 2016-20:34
We are in good hands MichaelC. My Equation of Time had a slight issue with one of the adjuster buttons so I sent it to AP about three weeks ago. I decided it was time for a full service but not a case polish. They estimated eight weeks to complete the ser...
Thanks for your reply and feedback Jerry.
By: MichaelC : December 10th, 2016-08:36
I know your experiences with using the AP service center in Clearwater have always been exceptional. The EoT looks great, I truly enjoy seeing that watch.
Congratulations
By: ns23 : December 10th, 2016-09:08
On having your watch back. I hope you enjoy it in good health. Definitely the AP service center did a great job
Nice

Jumbo 15202 dials
By: charcoal6666collector : December 31st, 2016-04:14
Yes Michael, the chart is not complete, as i think there could be several dial versions between 2012 and now. As for Mark 1 Mark 2, that is just how collector define the differences, like Rolex daytona "floating dial" and many other terms. Because manufac...
