Audemars Piguet

It took 6 months but for me the results are worth the wait. I see Royal Oak as a shipping related watch and I have been servicing the shipping industry for 40 years. In the logo of my tanker shipping company, a part of the logo is a tankers seen from the ...  

- enjoy & wear it in good health Best Mally

Best, Kari

Looks really great and well done!

No complains about that. Best, Kari

WOw, that is beautiful! I love the logo (of course! that's your doing ;) But the way it looks in this AP is great!!!! What a terrific way to personalize this piece! Congrats and thanks for sharing. I'd love to see a shot of it, sitting on top of some of t... 

I love the watch and even now I'm wearing it - I changed today from Nautilus 5711 to this. But when I looked 15202 side-by-side with my 5402, I must say that I like the old version more. Best, Kari

I had a good look at the 5402 and the 15202 and while I like the strap of the 15202 (pre 2014 version) more, I love the profile/case of the 5402. That's the thing for me, the thinness of the original RO. Boht pieces in decent shape run about hte same pric... 

This is fantastic! Now this watch is truly yours and yours only. A custom piece! Cheers Robin

and I'm negotiating about one. But not with AP. There was a nasty small fuck-up in Singapore Boutique and it takes some time (probably a long time) before I will clm down again. Best, Kari

Look fantastic

When the service of AP Boutique is concerned, they are still tens of thousands of miles from Patek. I'm happy with the end result but I left Singapore very upset. Best, Kari

You beat me to it. I have a custom rotor designed for my 15202 but have not sent it in yet. Love the personal meaning on yours.

Sorry, I could not load that. I need to change the format later. Best, Kari

The drawing is made by AP. I must say that I was quite amazed when the work was processed and I got some pictures while they were making it. The whole oscillating weight was first made from one piece of red gold and then everything but the tanker was rhod...  

I believe you are making us all want to do our own customization ! Congrats again! looks stunning!

The last ones ordering now would get their rotor by 2050. Best, Kari

But not the price. And like often with AP, finally everything did not go like planned. Best, Kari

Congrats !! It's awesome

Nice that you liked it. Best, Kari

Kari, that is so cool to be able to personalize your Royal Oak and have it done properly by the manufacturer. You will have such a unique watch to call your own. Big Congrats! Javier

Best, Kari

Too often people speak about the resale value. Naturally, I will keep mine "forever". Best, Kari

I think it is always risky to change a watch in order to customize it. Here, integrating your nice looking logo in the rotor was an excellent idea and it looks great that way. Congratulations Kari and it is nice to see you share it here. Cheers, Mark

Now it's a shipping man's watch. Best, Kari

In fact a 115,000 dwt ice class Aframax. You can see that it's ice class 1A because the wings of the bridge are covered. But for that you would need a loupe or better picture. Best, Kari

it means a lot to you. I don't know AP have this kind of customize service. Good job.

This was the first time AP made the rotor in two colours. And they have just one guy who can make the job. Best, Kari

Best, Kari

Congrats on your special addition. Best, JerryW

It has a special meaning to me. Best, Kari

But I think it came out with a super nice custom piece,One of the best things I have seen recently congrats wear it in the best of health

I am upset and at the same time I am very happy with the oscillating weight. Sometimes I feel that I should be upset to Patek Philippe. I have learned to expect perfect service. When I go somewhere else and a lot of things are done wrong, I get upset. Thi... 

About living in a perfect world ....I always wanted the same thing but living in Cairo for the past ten years made me rethink the meaning of PERFECT:)) Look at the bright side dealing with AP will make you appreciate PP more and more;)

I have thought a lot about the service different Brands offer. I think that all of them want to offer a top service and most of them think that they offer top service. But the issue is that they don't have the slightest idea what top service is all about.... 

Great Service is a commodity that is hard to come by. Even "good" service. I make this general statement that the consumer goods industry have not understood the concept of repeat customers. That's what I love about Japan. They are truly (for the most par... 

Hi Bob, Have you not heard about 40 years Anniversary Nautilus? Two pieces are still missing from my Genta collection... Best, Kari

Wow, looks fantastic and very cool to have your company's logo on the AP rotor! Regards, ED-209

but in the end it is just a tanker. For me Royal Oak represent sea, navigation and shipping. Only now the watch is really worth its name "Royal Oak". I mean for me. Best, Kari

Best regards, Baxter

Believe or not, I feel the difference when wearing the watch and knowing that the rotor is perfect. I would not believe if somebody told that kind of rubbish... Best, Kari

Didn't know they could do that. You must be a special customer for them.

But I am not a special customer. My 15202 was the 2nd watch I bought from AP Boutique. And please remember, such a rotor is also costing money . In fact quite much if I imagine the hours worked and divide the price with the hours. Anyhow, I'm very satisfi... 

I love seeing customized rotors on ROs. Did you do it at time of purchase, or did you request it afterward? What is the process for doing so, if you wouldn't mind sharing with us?

However, AP has one Master Goldsmith who is capable of doing this kind of job and thus, the delivery time of the oscillating weight was some five months. It was a pleasure to work this idea through with AP. First they made a drawing I accepted. Then I got... 

That is about as good as it gets. Bravo to you and Bravo the Audemars Piguet for its excellent workmanship and recognition of its clients needs. Over and above. Bravo. Bill

When I'll get the watch serviced again and itnstarts hopefully to work, I will be very happy. Best, Kari
