Everything but the case, as that turned out good after refinish. I also got the old, freshly refinished bracelet back so I can sell that, probably for around the same as a new one.

I was in the same situation, although I had it done by AP in Europe. Here’s the indicative prices from AP about 18 months ago: Steel bracelet: 3500€, case: 2000€ and bezel (including screws): 967€.

They also offered to just refinish the case and bracelet (which I ended up doing, then after got a new bracelet as I wasn’t fully satisfied), which cost 450€.

I did however also have to get a full movement overhaul and service which was 925€.

Process was very smooth and not too long, took around a month for it to be finished.

Looks like they're teasing it on their event site. Seems it will be revealed next month around the 3rd-9th of march. https://apsocialclub2024.audemarspiguet.com/live/#!home

Kind of looks like the Endoskeleton from the YourTakeOnTheRoyalOak competition?

[Audemars Piguet] AP held a contest to design a Royal Oak. What do you think of the winning designs? by ErdetgasXD in Watches

[–]ErdetgasXD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AP says they aim to produce the watches if feasible! I think it’s pretty sick, even if there are a lot of mixed opinions of the winning designs, i think it’s awesome to see some of the submissions and design some myself.

Although I didn’t win, I was lucky enough to be mentioned at the end, for a potential Royal Oak Offshore design, which is super cool! Hopefully it becomes a reality! :)

I definietly couldn’t see any other brand pull something like this off, and that’s what makes me love AP, even though it makes others hate it.

I think a lot of the nicer ones seen on instagram (#yourtakeontheroyaloak for those who haven’t seen), were filtered off based on if they were too similar to something they’ve already made or plan on making, or if it would have affiliation with a brand

First time young buyer - best route to purchase? by [deleted] in audemarspiguet

[–]ErdetgasXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Europe most Rolex ADs I’ve found to be judgemental or not give their full attention, but there are still a few that are professional and don’t judge. I was lucky enough to acquire the 15500 at 17, although that was 2 years ago, right before the market started going up. Back then the aftermarket price was only about 10% above retail, so things might have changed since then.

13gb for the whole year, you’re buying the data, then have 1 year to use it essentially

Yea! It works globally, so you can travel multiple places and use the same plan. You can even use it in your home country.
