Audemars Piguet

Jesse J and I are spending some quality time together 😁😺 ...  

Haha

Really like the cat. Goes with the watch very nicely. Grey and blue -- perfecto combo! )

Wearing something from the same family 😄 ...

Did you get it resolved with AP?

If ever again, I would only wear it in place. The 15400 I had was much much more durable. ...  

I assume AP repaired the crown? So what happened to the watch?

So I sent it back for re-polish when it was not needed in the first place. Timekeeping was not that good when it came back, and I was not as happy with the re-polish as I had hoped, so I ended up letting it go. Very happy with the VC which replaced it, lo... 

No excuse for bad service, especially with the amounts we are spending on these watches (toys/trinkets). I have ZERO tolerance for bad customer service. They should have resolved the crown issue and then if they damaged your watch while doing so, they sho... 

I think because it was serviced under warranty they didn’t take much care of it. They, the Clear Water service center, usually take a video of the watch when it arrives. They never took a video of mine. Honestly, I was over the watch at that time. I respe... 

They represent an idea and image of AP and the watch industry in general. The market is fickle, really. The 15300ST, 15400ST, and 15500ST are superior in tech and performance as a watch and an evolution of the series BUT they do not have the history, imag... 

I've owned my E-series silver dial 15202ST for twenty years. Never serviced. Wound up fine last week, gently pulled crown out to set hands, and the crown and stem came right out. I guess it's practical that the time setting screw gets loose over the years... 

So if they caused scratches, they are liable for it.

As posted on the Zenith forum, but Iron Maiden content is transcendent! ...

for the past few years I have turned into a hoarder which is not really a good thing. It's getting BAD mon ami. I am approaching the century mark and never thought of getting here with so many unworn pieces. And with this whole COVID-19 situation, it has ...

You never own an Audemars Piguet, you simply take care for it for your cat!

Just a joke so no offense to anyone out there 😁

Perfect sizing for me. More importantly low profile. BTW, I like your cat very much. ...  

From Noon today (I no longer bother to set the date) ...  

I do crave the original steel though, for the look and better durability. In time

Gorgeous. There is something about the finishing which is only realized fully in steel, in my opinion. The watch in gold is special in its own way, but the finishing intent does not come across the same, to me.

Where there is brushing versus polishing, intended to create a certain look, be it a soft or harsh light reflection, contrast between the two, sharp angles versus soft, etc. To my eye this all hangs together the best on the Royal Oak when done in steel.
