Hi all,

Wanted some advice here. I've sent in a 5402 for service to AP. Clearwater kindly reached out and suggested some items ( also per my request) to replace:

1. Bracelet
2. Dial
3. Hands

I've asked them to replace bezel also. But they are getting back to me on that.

The dial was a service dial already with AP logo at 12 instead of 6. And I don't believe the hands matched. I'm thinking of going forward with those.

The bracelet on the other hand is costly and stretched. I'm debating this one and they said they won't return the old bracelet so this a big no for me.

What are you thoughts? Price is a definite consideration for me. I'm quite sure I don't intend to sell the watch, but in event things go south in life I may want to. Will any of these considerably negatively impact the value?

It should be noted all these parts are being remade as a part of a restoration program by AP to original specifications.

Would be glad to answer any questions and appreciate your feedback.
