Service Question - has anybody ever heard of this?!?!
Was wondering if I could get some input from the members. Last week I dropped my RO15300 off at the AD for a service. It's been about 7 years since the watch was last seen by AP. The watch was keeping good time but the power reserve was down to 6-10 hours, hence the service. Once I noticed the power reserve issue, the watch went straight into the safe and didn't see a wrist again. Watch has never seen water or been dropped. Was worn in rotation pretty evenly with 5 other watches. When I dropped the watch off at the AD they said that the service would run approximately $1300 CAD ($1000 USD). Sounded about right to me. Yesterday, the AD called me back and said that they had received an estimate from the APSC in Canada at $4000 CAD ($3100 USD)!!! I was told that the watch required a CTR - Complete Technical Revision. I had never heard the term before and can't even find too much about it online. I have submitted a contact request on the AP website but while I wait for a response, I though

a Birthday surprise!
This past week I had the pleasure of re-visiting the place of my birth: Guam, in the Mariana Islands. My father lives in Japan, and to those in Japan it's an easier trip than say Hawai'i for warm weather (it's snowing in Japan today). He planned a two day father & son birthday trip, something we haven't done in many, many years. (it's been at least 13-14 years since I've seen this tiny little island).Anyways, the main point of the story is, for my birthday he surprised me with a Stainless Steel Diver. As obscure as this island is, they have a few watch boutiques, and AP is one of them (I believe it is operated under the wing of Audemars Piguet Japan, my warranty book lists Japan as the origin...the CEO of AP Japan was actually visiting the shop while I was browsing). My father had visited the island two months ago, and had them set it aside. I knew there was an AP boutique based on some recon I did before going and suggested we walk in, and to my surprise it was already waiting for

T minus .....
Ive had some great news today.... and now I'm counting down the hours minutes and seconds till I pick up my baby from APSC (via Marcus) on Saturday after it going away for 8 weeks for a little work (re-DLC coating the case back as it was coming off in strange cloud like formations and also a minor date change issue, they have had it longer now than I have owned it, , so now I'm hoping to re-kindle my bond with it and finally get to join in and post some wrist shots with you fine people! The Bumblebee is coming home to its hive at last

Which Vintage Onega Is This?
This was the Watch given to the players at the 1963 Cotton Bowl, so it would have been on sale in 1962, and the jeweler would have stamped the Cotton Bowl logo on the dial. It's amazing the quality of watch they used to give these kids. Does anybody know the dial and movement? Thanks.
