my AP returns

I got my AP 6months ago and unknowingly used it on a night out with a huge group where i got quite a few scratches on the bezel and bracelet... i couldnt get over the fact because they werent normal wear and tear scratches but rather quite a lot which happened due to bumps and contacts at a party.. which made me take a decision to send it to AP after 2 weeks of purchase for restoring back to original and change of new bezel..

i paid a bomb but im so happy to have it back.. here are some wrist shots..
btw, it didnt return with a travel case from AP when i picked it up from my AD in Hong Kong and i asked them but they said it never came with any.. i verified based on documents that came with it that it truly went to AP clear water.. any thoughts on that..?

Gorgeous. In reference to the travel case I normally call Clearwater and ask if it will come with one when its returned. They have always said yes and sent one. However, one time I called the day before they were planning to ship the watch back (which was several weeks earlier than the estimate) and the travel case was completely separately packaged. It was clear they originally weren't going to include one.

Looks fantastic, but these bad boys do mark up pretty easily.

Glad you got it cleaned up. Sadly, this is not a good watch for getting tipsy on the town :( but it's still worth it
