Must say job well done and Iam so annoyed with the fact that they did not put a new strap on it even after I spent a fortune servicing the watch and as much as what a new submariner rolex would cost lol ! I had experienced Breguet & Patek and they always give complimentary straps .
Well back to the watch it’s been my grail watch and I amange to find one used piece in Canada and then gave it in for complete overhaul. The job is well done and it has been polished and I have not even removed the service plastic as yet .
But leather ...

Getting a new strap should be an easy fix..
Did you ask for a complimentary new strap?

I always do! Whenever I get a seriously large service estimate (hello Roger Dubuis) I always enquire very nicely whether the service is accompanied by a complimentary new strap. I have yet to be turned down 😀 NickO
It is an absolute marvel !

I had an opportunity a few years back to buy one at an auction but my order was probably below reserve price. Anyway, the proportions are just amazing 39mm absolutely underrated, the kind of watch i would love to own. You bought it in Canada there was one...
Iam not sure if it is the one on Chrono 24 ...

I paid a huge amount in service and yes they replaced hands and dial and also this one has a very special limited number . I got it from a dealer in Canada and sent it to Las Vegas boutique for complete makeover . Now chasing Ap Service centre to send me ...
No doubt the Jules is far superior

Just like to give 1159 the benefit of doubt that at least its hands took some inspiration from past AP dna
Pretty cheap of them
