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 on chrono24 a few month in terrible conditions with the dial to replace is it the one you got ? I reckon after a service it is a great deal (it that's the one !).

Regarding the strap I agree it is really disappointing particularly on a Grande Complication not to be duly recognized and get a new strap. I think it is a big mistake for +/-200$... sad

Anyhow wear it in good health it is really a Graal of a watch, only acute eyes will spot it others will think it is "only" a normal Jules Audemars !

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 ...  

Fine piece!

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

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 ... 

Perhaps code1159

took some inspiration from this🤔

The 11:59 doesn’t even come close to this beauty.

Just push the button at 10 o’clock and you will understand.

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
