Very fine scratches all around, and the rhodium plating on most of the screws are gone, plus that screw around 11:00 where it looks like someone tried to electroplate - but man look at that dial!

Off to the watchmaker to sort this all out!

 

I would send back to AP and habe them keep the dial. That will look killer...congrats.

 

Entirely agree with @watchknut

Don't piss about with an 'independent'…( although I understand you want to save money, where possible )

Send direct to AP………and let them sprinkle their magic dust over it

If you buy a 'Premier League' watch… You can't just avoid the due membership fees to restore, & maintain it

 

Mine says 'hi'

 

^ second hand?

 

And this is why I sold my AP ROO!!!

 

A-series so at least second hand... (assuming you don't mean "where's the second hand?" )

 

Apologies...am not educated on AP

 

Tropical AP bros!

 

while my 4100 is still a pimply-faced teen

 

This just looks whaaaaaaah
