From what I know the Ref. 5402 released in 72 made through to the D series were essentially the same (case size, movement, specs) except the AP logo above the 6 is considered more collectible than the ones with the AP logo at 12, also from what I've seen the AP logo above the 6 was available on most pieces upto the C series after which most if not all of the ref. 5402 and the subsequent references had the AP logo at 12.
Funny thing is that I've seen B series pieces with the first owners with Swiss Only dials with the AP logo at 12 as well (not service dials) and ofcourse B series pieces with the AP logo above the 6, don't have any accurate data but I have a feeling C series pieces with the AP logo above the 6 are rarer than B series pieces with the AP logo above the 6.
Service it and wear it Dave, you won't find a better watch

I wrote this already but it didn't look like it posted so I'll write it again, sorry if it's double posted. The bracelet seems tight, no holes. The crown doesn't have an AP logo on it, what does that mean? Where exactly is the deployment piece you want me...
Servicing Question
By: DaveAP82 : December 13th, 2011-17:45
Got another one... servicing seems to be about $1000 and take place in Switzerland, this isn't a problem for me as I spent most of my time over in the UK and can just ship it from there. The watch works perfectly right now, but does have scratches and sur...

Congratulations on the purchase of an iconic piece of horological history! Wear it an enjoy it in good health. On the servicing, given that it has sat in a box for a while, I would personally bite the bullet and send the watch in for servicing just to che...
