@derekflanderschang9654 3 года назад

Honestly not as bad as I thought it’d be, just over a grand USD. Any decent European car eats that several times a year. From AP’s website: ROYAL OAK COMPLETE MAINTENANCE SERVICE in Audemars Piguet's Geneva boutique Prices in CHF, taxes excluded QUARTZ // 550.- ⏩SELFWINDING // 950.- ⏪ EXTRA-THIN // 1'150.- CHRONOGRAPH // 1'450.- QP (CHRONO, QP, EOT) // 1'800.- Opening of the watch, prewashing of the movement, dismantling of every component of the movement, preventive replacement of those subject to wear and damaged, washing of all the components, assembling of the movement and complete lubrication, timing, casing up, final control.

@audemarspiguet4237 3 года назад

The guys at the first boutique acted like absolute scum. If they were never going to allocate the watch to you, they should have just politely refused at the outset instead of giving you false hope and treating you like a child. Glad that you were able to eventually acquire the watch

@WatchSociety 3 года назад

Firstly congratulations on this piece, I literally got my 15500 last week 03 black dial. Secondly, congratulations once again! I know the pain and how long it takes to get someone at the AP boutique to even pay attention or even take the request seriously, been there, done it.

Great video, and a very nice watch, love the dial and bracelet, the whole watch is outstanding! Glad you found another store, that were more customer focused!

@rogeriocosta1035 3 года назад

Congratulations! To me the AP Royal Oak still the most iconic automatic watch design ever made. But I'm not sure if I would buy the modern versions cause it does not match the beauty of the original Royal Oak concept, being extremely thin (only 7mm), automatic, water proof and beautiful at the same time.

Yeah i've had a white dialled 37mm Royal Oak on my wrist and agree it wears closer to a 40mm & is a good fit for my 6 1/4" wrist. Nice choice! I recently put down a deposit for a Grand Seiko SLGH003 which has similar qualities to what you described.

@jackominty3633 3 года назад

Magnificent watch. Sincere congratulations, you must be so pleased! I am wait-listed for a blue dial 15500 - 41mm, but I need that as I have an 8 inch wrist. A proper grail watch indeed.

I think your experience is the typical AP boutique experience. I saw someone in KL had similar experience with you. He and his family went there as their appointment was set at that particular date and time, but the security stop them from entering the premise due to the sales rep that set that appointment was apparently on “leave”.

@richardman28 3 года назад

Congratulations on your grail. Nice watch. I am a serious high horology collector for many many years. Although the royal oak is not my grail watch, I always fancied getting one for the collection. Went to many AP boutiques and since been messed about like yourself. That has put me off the watch. No watch is worth going through that service especially as a watch collector. I purchased one of grails recently from Patek. Had to put a deposit down for the watch a few years back and that showed me as a consumer that I was registered and also for them that they had a serious buyer. Got thr call, did the transaction and got the watch. Brilliant service all round. Once you collect the watch, they make you feel like they couldn't do enough for you.

As someone just starting to play the AD game ( for a much more humble Rolex Explorer). I totally sympathize. The AP spoke with didn't even pretend to have a waiting list. Just told me to call every now and then to "try my luck". I think that's nice speak for "You got no chance".

@LumeShot 3 года назад

I shouldve clarified further - I truly believe some boutiques and ADs harm brands beyond belief. I wouldnt give business to those particular branches. Poor service cant be entirely blamed on the brand itself, but they are partially responsible for not looking over the employees that are hired under their company. Nevertheless, the boutique I go to now has exceeded any service I would come to expect from any store.

@pinkfatcap 3 года назад

They will sell watches like this on less than 2 hours from the moment they will show up in the store, so they dont really care about your money since they will get someones money anyway. I dont support them by saying this, I am just saying how things are.

@SinnerAndSaint 3 года назад

I'm glad you finally found your grail AP, Eric! Many Congrats to you! But I have to agree that the I had some bad experiences at different AP boutiques as well (here in Germany). I also had some horrible service issues on my first AP (Royal Oak Offshore Diver) as well when I bought it in 2019. I really love their watches but the brand really turned me down somewhat... nevertheless I'm glad that you got this beautiful piece! I can btw. absolutely relate to your comments regarding fit & size of a Royal Oak. It's really not very easy to find a perfect model for smaller wrists. I have a 16cm (6,25inch) wrist and had the exact same issues. Funny enough I ended buying the Offshore Diver in 2019 which sounds ridiculous but on the smooth rubber strap this really fits well. Of course it's a hefty watch but I also wear a Panerai 44mm which fits also very nice on my wrist due to the small lug-to-lug size. Same goes for the Offshore Diver which I would never have been expected! Keep up the great videos and let us know how you feel with your AP after some time! All the best from Germany!
