Yes Michael, AP service has always been good in my eyes. I am just wary to accuse my fellow members of any wrongdoing until I get an official statement from AP.
to be fair to the seller, he has shared the original AP service center Job receipt for the servicing done and he has also sent me the original AD purchase receipt to corroborate that he is the first owner.
Hence, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt that he is truthful and honest. I buy the seller before the watch , as the saying goes. I will have to wait and see the update from AP Singapore in order to see if I speak with the seller to discuss next steps of the refund should the report come back that is not under warranty, which of course is quite a hassle for me but nonetheless, as a matter of principle, I will seek and expect that from him as I know he would of me , should the roles and situation be reversed.
Of course, I hope this is ALL just a big misunderstanding and AP HK and Singapore can sort this all out and reinstate the warranty for me , but it is all in the hands of my favorite brand now
Will keep everyone posted of the developments. Thanks again to AP for the prompt and professional service!
