How often to Service?

[beehoang]

Hey all, how often do you guys service your AP? I just purchased a Rubberclad and its currently with APSC receiving a new bezel, strap, pushers and crown, and a polish.

The watch was serviced less than 2 years ago and is still under warranty for another month. I was offered a "discount" about 25% off the "complete maintenance service" if I was to do it now. Do you think I should opt for this? or should I wait a couple years down the road?

Thanks all

It's your money, but why service a perfectly functional watch.

i did in the end opt out of the service... and would service down the road when needed. was just wondering on people’s take

Service when it stops working, or is running well out of spec.

I’m in Canada so adjust accordingly, but here is general idea.


Complete maintenance service $1800-$2500
Polishing : $ 450- $650
Rubberclad bezel- $1800
Rubber strap is $490.00
Pushers Crown and Gasket - $500
Shipment three way service VIP $220-250 ( covers up to $65,000 CAD

definitely a bit steep if you need a full overhaul.

Wow the replacement bezel is expensive in your region, is it gold or steel? The reason I ask is that I owned a rose gold RC from new and when I changed the rubber the gross price of the bezel was around £1800 but then you get about £1200 back for the gold part of the bezel being replaced so you pay a net sum of £600. It was all carefully itemised on the invoice from AP. Also I was told by AP at the time that since the rubber perishes over time they don’t charge as much for the replacement bezel.

That’s insanity, more like a Ferrari service cost then a watch

Gotta find a good independent, that’s big money

[beehoang]

it is a steel bezel. anyone have any idea on the same services with USD pricing ?

Maybe another way is to ask how many years have perfectly functioning APs gone without service?

My 15300 is receiving its first service along with a dial swap at Clearwater. It was purchased brand new at an AD in 2012.
