your pair of RO

fist - I am no expert in lady´s Royal oak, so that I cant give an expertise about your lady´s RO watch and movement, but what I can show to you is this:

thanks for showing your 5402 with realy early A number. Why do you send the watch for service. Does the watch need a mechanical service.

I think the watch looks good and authentic with only some signs of use - but the dial looks realy good and only there is one very little hole in the lume of one hand. Ok - Caseback engraving "Royal Oak" is not so much left.

If you send the watch to AP of course they know what to do (by the way : you have to send the bracelet with the watch, so that they make the finish on case and bracelet - i think you know that), but find a possibility to make clear what should happen with the dial and hands.

I would never let them change the good looking original "swiss" dial. If they change the dial, the watch will come back with "swiss made" dial (from this day on you loose money by this aspect) and also the small hands don´t existe anymore and the crown only with AP-Logo. For me personally from these three things the dial is the most important point - hands (a little bid wider, if they put new ones on it) and crown with AP-Logo for me not so important.

Ask what they can do with the caseback.

If you decide to change dial, crown (it´s a usual service because of water resistance) and hands, make shure, that they will send you  the "old parts" ! ! !
