Audemars Piguet

My first foray into AP

 

Padj says I don’t post enough so here goes.


A few days ago, Robin alerted me of the availability of a blue dial RO 15300. I went down to the store the following morning, about 15 minutes before the store was open. I’m glad I did because while I was checking the watch out, there were numerous phone calls to the store enquiring about the watch. One call even came in from Hong Kong.




I decided to bring the watch to the Singapore AP boutique to get the watch checked and the bracelet re-sized. 


Here’s Iylia using an equipment to melt the loctite. He explains that it is to prevent damaging the lug screws when unscrewing. I was impressed by the attention to detail.



A fresh coating of Loctite is reapplied after the bracelet has been sized.





The watch is then checked for accuracy. Unfortunately it runs fast. So I decided to send it in for a full maintenance service.




About a couple of days later while watching yet another episode of “Watchbox” videos on YouTube, Tim Mosso and Brian Govberg discussed the ROC ref: 25860st with a blue dial. While the show was still running on YouTube, I decided to google the reference and was surprised that one was available locally. I called the store and yes, it was still available, and I was at the store about 2 hours later to pick it up.







The watch is keeping good time so far but I’ll probably send it in for a full maintenance when I get my RO 15300 back. 

Thank you Robin and Tim. smile

Regards,

Ian
