My ceramic pusher fell off!
Jul 16, 2021,01:38 AM
I LOVE AP, but to be honest, I've never purchased an AP and not had an issue: a crown popped out (2 different offshores), the paint on a tachymeter peeled off, and a ceramic pusher fell off!
AP should invest in more rigorous testing! I'm sure it's challenging trying to stay current, new this and new that, and offer quality that will last.
Personally, I like to watch...LOL...new stuff for a while before I pull the trigger, but with an AP, it's hard to resist!

The Story of My AP Royal Oak Offshore Disaster . . .
By: Jim14 : July 10th, 2021-14:10
Well, the time has come to tell the story of my AP Royal Oak Offshore "Carbon" -- a very dear watch indeed. I did not care to relay this story until the watch was safely moved on to a new owner because I didn't want to "taint" the sale in any way. One day...
Interesting story

A real journey you made with the Royal Oak. Read the story, maybe the imitation basel is more a protection basel. Token off to save the original. So the first seller maybe had the original basel, stored in a bag. Forgotten to give. My way should be, hold ...
What an ordeal !!!

A horror story for sure. Imagine if the pusher hadn't have fallen, and you sold the watch or gifted it to someone; it would have eventually looked like you had sold someone an imperfect watch. Anyway, glad to hear that it's all over now. Just don't let it...
True or not, it has nothing to do with the jimmied sample you owned.

You were wearing a watch with a fake bezel. Who knows what else was done to it along the way. Problems happen for sure. I own or have owned a handful of ceramic pusher Offshores and have never had a single issue. I will go by my own experience instead of ...
It is unpleasant surprise

When you take your watch for a smallish fix and you hear a sum of nearly 4 k dollars before anything has even been done.
ROO rectangular pushers have nothing to do with selling the watch...

In February he actually told me about the rare risk of this happening and said “ have to warn you of one other thing -- some owners of these pieces complained that the titanium "trim" on the pushers fell off -- I looked into this...Again, I felt that if s...

The comments I made in February were well before I had any knowledge about the swapped bezel. And the decision to sell off the watch was after the pusher fell off but still before I knew about the swapped bezel. And I made that decision for the reasons st...
