I'm going through withdraw...



Today marked the 7th day I've been without my AP. I have to send the watch in to APSC in Clearwater for 3rd year warranty, smudges under the crystal, and change to the short rubber strap.

AP told me it would take 4 weeks! this has been one of the longest 7 days so I don't know how I could wait another 3 weeks

In the mean time, please post your RGRC pictures

Here's mine:

You guys need to get more APs so you don't miss them as much.

Not a RGRC but missing my Diver that's also at the APSC. Maybe time to get a 15300 to ease the pain!

So classic.. the RGRC. Can't believe AP is supposedly discontinuing the clads in the next year or so.

Might as well just get it over with. I didn't want to send it in at first until i found a long hair line scratch/smudge under the crystal

Very nice - I've been looking at the 5980 too. In fact I had one on order prior to my AP addiction.

meaning most of the time, the watch is just sitting there waiting to be serviced? sounds like a lot of backlog to me if that's the case.

I know, it was going to be my next one but the dealer has offered a MS ti. I'm still not decided which way to go.
