Thank you Audemars Piguet Singapore.
It took 6 months but for me the results are worth the wait.
I see Royal Oak as a shipping related watch and I have been servicing the shipping industry for 40 years.
In the logo of my tanker shipping company, a part of the logo is a tankers seen from the front. The hull lines are formed from two letters "F" which also refer to the name of the shipping company.
I asked AP to create an unique oscillating weight where only the tanker would be clearly visible. Here's the result - I got my 15202 fixed and the new rotor assembled today. The service was great and the price wasn't low...
What do you think?
Best, Kari
Love it!!!!
WOw, that is beautiful! I love the logo (of course! that's your doing 
But the way it looks in this AP is great!!!! What a terrific way to personalize this piece! Congrats and thanks for sharing. I'd love to see a shot of it, sitting on top of some of the company stationary
Bravo!

Thanks. Such shots will come.
I love the watch and even now I'm wearing it - I changed today from Nautilus 5711 to this. But when I looked 15202 side-by-side with my 5402, I must say that I like the old version more.
Best, Kari
:) I agree...
I had a good look at the 5402 and the 15202 and while I like the strap of the 15202 (pre 2014 version) more, I love the profile/case of the 5402.
That's the thing for me, the thinness of the original RO.
Boht pieces in decent shape run about hte same price second hand, so it's an issue of taste
When I feel like parting with my 5402 I'll send it in to AP for the spa treatment and I'll get a new strap !
Thanks again for sharing this wonderful piece of yours!

Big congrats Kari!
This is fantastic! Now this watch is truly yours and yours only. A custom piece!

Thanks. I love custom pieces
and I'm negotiating about one. But not with AP. There was a nasty small fuck-up in Singapore Boutique and it takes some time (probably a long time) before I will clm down again.
Best, Kari
I love the end result.
When the service of AP Boutique is concerned, they are still tens of thousands of miles from Patek.
I'm happy with the end result but I left Singapore very upset.
Best, Kari
Looks great. AP rocks...
You beat me to it. I have a custom rotor designed for my 15202 but have not sent it in yet. Love the personal meaning on yours.
Here's the original design made by AP
Sorry, I could not load that. I need to change the format later.
Best, Kari
Thats how the design looked like when AP took the job.
The drawing is made by AP.
I must say that I was quite amazed when the work was processed and I got some pictures while they were making it. The whole oscillating weight was first made from one piece of red gold and then everything but the tanker was rhodium plated.
When I took the rotor into my hand and looked at the workmanship through a loupe, i must say it is simply incredible. Every detail is done just correctly and with the greatest attention of details.
I also heard why the watch stopped earlier. There was a small problem with the assembly and now it was running well for a week in AP and on my wrist it has worked already for 12 hours.
I am very happy with the implementation of my idea.
Best, Kari
Beautfiul ! Well done !
I believe you are making us all want to do our own customization ! Congrats again! looks stunning!
That would be fun.
The last ones ordering now would get their rotor by 2050.
Best, Kari
I love it too.
But not the price. And like often with AP, finally everything did not go like planned.
Best, Kari
I am very impressed.
Kari, that is so cool to be able to personalize your Royal Oak and have it done properly by the manufacturer. You will have such a unique watch to call your own.
Big Congrats!

Mine was just a low joke.
Too often people speak about the resale value. Naturally, I will keep mine "forever".
Best, Kari
It looks really nice
I think it is always risky to change a watch in order to customize it.
Here, integrating your nice looking logo in the rotor was an excellent idea and it looks great that way.
Congratulations Kari and it is nice to see you share it here.

It is a tanker.
In fact a 115,000 dwt ice class Aframax. You can see that it's ice class 1A because the wings of the bridge are covered. But for that you would need a loupe or better picture.
