How did I miss this one? Glad you got it sorted out. Clearwater is your best option for service. As other's have said, its the original ROO movement based on the JLC 889. I believe the Montoya was one of the only ones to have a clear case back with the 889.

AP at one time owned a good portion of JLC so it's no wonder they used and still use JLC movements.

I also think we forget just how small the watch making industry was in the Vallee de Joux.

Hope you enjoy your AP. The rubber clad is a offshore classic.

Thanks.

I spoke with AP today. They are running 10 weeks for non warranty work. They said if I send it after January the service may be a little quicker.
