Are you currently living in the Middle East? I know a couple places in LA, Miami, and NYC. If you don't live in any of those city's I recommend you take a trip. They probably can get it done for you in a couple of days determine what you want to have done. I had a dealer ask me if I wanted my president all "iced out" for 20k. Which is what you should expect to pay maybe more determine on quality for AP 15400.

The AP AD will say don't do it. They will say it will void the warrenty. Which it will but as long as you know a private company watch repair place like ABC Watchwerks then you'll be fine. Make sure that's what you want because once you do it. You can go back to normal.

Yes mate I live in Dubai , I can sent the watch to Conus , if you could sent me the details of the aftermarket setter. I have a RG 15400 in black & white dial unsure on which would the diamonds stand out more the White or black dial ? As per the warranty TBH am not concerned about it. I have couple of AP never had a problem with any. Thanks mate value your suggestion let me know.
Thanks

I'd go with your silver dialed 400 over your black dial.

Plenty of capable jewellers in Dubai

There are plenty of good jewellers in Dubai who can diamond set your AP
If you need some names please feel free to send me a PM.
I'm not affiliated with any of them but have had good service for over 10 years.
Many of the outlets in the Gold and `Diamond park offer this service.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

I will never do that! Beside APSC, no way I will allowed a third party "watchmaker" to touch my AP, let alone a diamond jeweller! Setting diamonds on a jewellery is different from a watch and you may have waterproofing issue later! APSC will not service your watch. Go for the one that are set by AP.

After market diamonds on any watch will make it look terribly fake
