I recently had my AP RO Extra Thin/Jumbo 15202 serviced by AP in Clearwater, FL. I live an hour from my nearest AP boutique, so I brought it in to them for service, and they sent it to to Clearwater for me. The watch is in excellent condition, so I just had the movement serviced. I did not have it refinished/polished.
An Extra Thin/Jumbo costs a bit more than a standard RO to service. AP's website says it is 1300 for a movement service. It cost me $1,380, so just a little more than mentioned on the website, and I presume no parts other than gaskets were replaced.
I dropped the watch off for service in mid October 2024. There was a hurricane expected to hit the east coast within a few week, so they said they were going to wait a week or so to send it to Clearwater so nothing happened to in shipping it during a storm. They sent me an estimate about a month later with a quote for the price of the work to be done and a projection of 14 weeks to complete the work.
The watch was dropped off in October 2024 and the watch was back at the boutique and ready to be picked up by the second week of February 2025.
Overall, my experience went well. The watch was in excellent shape, when I dropped it off, so I did not have it polished, and it did not come back with any new scratches or other issues. Overall, it was a good experience for me and the people at the boutique were super nice.
Wishing you lots of luck with your service. Below are a few recent wrist shots from earlier this month.
