Is it rebairable???? (((Pics))))
Hello my friends been while since i last post here, recently i bought an AP ROO navy blue I serial from 2014 and although the watch was used but its in good shape. Couple days ago ive noticed 2 things that botheres me and would lile to know if its rebairable
1) in the pics i focused with the louple in the area above the chrono pusher under the rubber ring there is a dent and although its too small but gives me hard times and my question is is it rebairable by laser welding at AP service center AND would it ever leave mark OR be an weak spot in the case?? 2) also above number 2 inside the glass i saw a piece of dust + on the rotor also spotted 1 3) finally the chrono ring between 90 and 100 i saw some kind of orange colour but iam not sure what it is exactly!! The dealer i bought the watch from confirm that the watch never been opened and frankly speaking i did not see any sign of opening the caseback or bezel not even the holes in the sides, does it count as a manufacture flaws or is there some leak. Unfortunately we have no AP service where i live so i might ship it to clearwater but thought you guys may give me your opinions

put the loupe away. No good ever comes from it. I can see specks of dust on the WG hour markers on every AP I have ever looked at. Well, not a loupe technically but macro photography, but its the same thing.
Im sure they can fix it though. Your always going to find things on a loupe though. |

With a dent (scratch?) that small you may need to point it out to them to make sure they fix it though as they could miss it all together |

I would not dare inspect a preowned watch with a loupe lol. If you want to use a loupe buy a Lange or grand seiko.

The spec on the dial might bother me depending on now visible it is with the naked eye, the rest like above put the loupe away and enjoy the watch.

If you are concerned about the integrity of the watch maybe have it leak tested? Did the watch come with any service history? |

can you post a regular pic of the dial that isn't magnified? I do see the speck and on my watches, the specks are on the hour markers themselves not on the dial. If i could see it without magnification i would probably get that fixed. Here is a speck on my 15400, right in the middle. Does not bother me at all as i can't see it without looking at pics that are zoomed in.

Regarding the dust spec is that visible to the naked eye? What type of loupe are you using 2x, 10x, etc?
