F is pretty old. Will probably need to go to AP for servicing.

That's a very good price as in UK that's £5600 and anything under £6K and I would be cautious esp with the blue dial. Make sure its real and post pics here now if you can ask for them so we can tell you.

I'd skip...if you had your 15400 for such a short time, a smaller watch with a bigger "AP" logo wont do the trick...

Jack : You are soooo right but the deal is too good to pass, which I love and the AP blue is too die for.

That's a deal that seems to good to be true. Why so cheap? Has it ever been serviced?

I may be wrong, but the bracelet looks like it was polished by someone other than AP. It has a little "soft" or "rounded" edges feel to it. If that's the case then 1000% pass. Maybe someone else can chime in if they agree.

I'd go the other way and take it, as AP in London will polish for £200 so won't impact the price too much. Infact I'd ask for a discount to compensate for the work required.
