Nice looking watch. I hear a overhaul costs over $3,000. Will you still enjoy your watch, then?

snap! i bought the same watch, its a lovely alternative to my rolexes.
the polish is amazing and its size is imposing together with that thick hornback strap. though i think red stiching may have been a better choice for the designers. what camera did u use buddy, amazing clarity!! pls post up the odyssey for a set of diamond ear-rings for a dream wife!! |

Buddy, I don't get where you got your US$3000 for a "overhaul" from??
you can the pricelist on http://www.audemarspiguet.com/customer-service/ an overhaul is a little over a 1000bucks, and Ap has a 3year warranty. "Display : hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph 1080-1160* 210-260* 220* 370-420* * The prices indicated correspond to the recommended pre-tax retail price in Swiss francs." |
