AP service center experience?
So, today I went to the AP SC to send my AP to have a pressure test to get the 3rd year guarantee sticker. The staff at the SC in Bkk was very nice and was giving me advice like I should bring my AP to service before the 3rdyear guarantee run out so I can save the service cost. However I was quite surprised that the price of the rubber strap is just around 400$ and if I pay by cash I'll get another 10% discount which is much less than I expected. Then I also saw the AP travel case which is all made from leather and cost around 95$ when I've seen offers in the forum or in ebay for around 215$ even ! Does anyone have this particular case did you get it and how does a large Ap fit ? And how does the pressure test take normally? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My first AP -- the new 15710 ST Diver
Happy to join the AP family. Been considering an AP for a while -- but wasn't sure which one and finally pulled the trigger when on a business trip in Hong Kong at an AD there.Just got back and only time for a quick iPhone pic -- but looking forward to learning more about the watch. I am already thinking about getting a bracelet for it as I've seen some of the other pics in this forum with the Diver on a bracelet and it looks great! Does AP make a bracelet to fit this new model with the sapphire caseback? If so -- will any ROO bracelet fit? And how hard is it to change the strap?Thanks,Ed

Problem with a pre-owned DJ 16220 I bought.
Hello,I originally posted this in the vintage section, but since technically a 16220 is not vintage, and also to reach a broader audience, I'm reposting here. I have a problem and I would like to know what you guys would suggest I do.I bought a 1999 DJ from a seemingly reputable dealer in Germany (I'm in The Netherlands).The watch comes with a service box and all papers and it is in excellent, hardly worn, unpolished condition.But it arrived dead. No shaking or manual winding starts it. Even after many turns of manual winding the feel does not get any stiffer, so my initial guess is a broken mainspring.I talked to the seller and he claims that he checked it and it worked perfectly when he sent it, and gives me three options:1) Clearly, I can send it back for a refund.2) Send back to him for repair and he will send it back to me in working condition. He covers the costs of shipping both ways. But it is clear that he will just replace the mainspring if that is the reason for the fault. I
