Wow, sorry to hear about that. I would go postal if that happened to me...

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 should have repaired that as well or provide you with another. Just good business practice and pays off in multiples if one were to look forward instead of backwards.

Not trying to blame AP as I am sure this happens with anyone BUT they is a sensible way to handle things if one wants to do it the right way πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ And your VC Overseas 4500V that replaced it is an amazing watch which I would like to add to the collection eventually. I find it far better than any of the newer APs but just not the same as the 15202ST as I think them differently.

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

Gorgeous Jumbo!

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

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...

I know right???

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... 

I get it and understand your point. The 15202ST and 5402 before are NOT known for their durability, practicality, etc...

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : May 8th, 2020-11:28
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... 

Just happened to me!

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... 

Please make sure they take a video of your watch when it arrives,

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

Merci Gros πŸ˜‰ [nt]

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

LOL, if AP used this slogan they could probably even move more Code 11.59s πŸ˜‰πŸ˜œ

Just a joke so no offense to anyone out there 😁

This is what I wear over the weekend.

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

Jumbo for me as well

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

Such as this one?

...  

Yes indeed

 
 By: stabilizer : May 9th, 2020-18:56
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.

I am referring to the design intent of the finishing specifications/choices

 
 By: stabilizer : May 13th, 2020-08:39
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.
