Well done, congrats. But the ‘oblique’ brushing of the bezel makes me think that the watch was refurbished and not by AP 🤔

Do you think it’s worth sending to AP to have it serviced. From what I read for 3-4 k they give the watch a complete once over Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Still looks great IMHO. I sure wouldn’t spend $3-4K on an AP refinish. Leave it for down the road.

A re-polish of that bezel would be a few hundred bucks only, I would do it, passed on a few watches that had angled bezel finishes but great prices.

Thanks guys. Probably going to wear this is my daily instead of my sub. And get it dolled up in a year or two.
