Audemars Piguet

Greetings to all! After 21 weeks away for service, my EOT arrived back home this past weekend. Looks fine (I didn't have the case refinished, as I'm just going to wear it again anyway), runs great. So -- can you tell why I'm sending it back? Seems it's al...  

Really???

No message body

Hope it is corrected and back to you quickly. In any case, it is such an amazing and beautiful watch. respo

At first I thought I was nuts, bot no such luck... Best, Gary G

Sorry to read this, Gary! That's so frustrating. I am not sure how zen I personally could've been about this issue had it been my watch! Hope you've been well! Cheers, Daos

I've been really busy lately so away from the fora pretty much -- great to get a note from you. Pretty frustrating to send one's watch away for so long only to have them get it wrong -- the good news is that it should be a very simple fix (uncase the watc... 

I actually like the Van Cleef and Arpels romantic complications. I wouldn't wear them, as they aren't my style, but I do admire them quite a bit. If you're traveling, do so safely! Cheers, Daos

Hello Gary, What a beautiful watch! The EOT remains my "grail" watch. My wife got me the latest 43mm Jules Audemars version in YG for my 45th birthday! I was torn between the WG and the YG versions; the YG matches my wedding band and Stanford class ring, ... 

Will be going to the AP spa for a cam change real soon. AP has my new cam, cannot wait to change to my home town. JerryW...  

If I go to a spa I'm good for about one hour at the most, so my question is how long will your AP remain at the (cam-change) spa? Does the AD or does AP give an estimate on this time and what is the process? Do you first inform AP or the AD that you would... 

It finally arrived about 3 weeks ago. I am now ready to part with my EOT for the change, hope it is only a few weeks. Will keep you posted. I am a big RO fan but I really like my EOT. JerryW

Thanks, Jerry. I will start the conversation about ordering a cam when I return home. Good luck with your install. I hope the TAR (turnaround) is less than the ETA on your EOT. To a great watch and a bunch of acronyms! Byron

Kudos on the EOT! Best, Gary G

Great to read about your impressions of this great piece -- and congrats on owning the newer version of this beauty. They do depreciate, though -- I've been told that the geography-specific element of the design (my watch is a San Francisco piece, and hap... 

Hello Gary, I forgot to post a picture of my EOT. I got the watch and never posted a picture taken this past summer. I still love the WG version as well, but somehow the YG watch that I own just seems at home on my wrist with my YG wedding band and class ...  

Out of curiosity Gary do they give you any form of compensation for wasting your time on this? As well as retaining your watch? Chris

We'll see about any compensation -- I did mention to the AD that if AP asked, I'd be pleased for them to refinish the bezel. That said, I'm not holding my breath. The original time quoted for the initial service was 14 weeks, and it took 20 -- not good. N...
