The AP questions thread (All the questions you want to ask about AP but were afraid to)

[legend]

So my seller was super fast and I just got QC for my 15500.

I need some assistance regarding the AP logo ( is it a bit tilted?) and mainly the bezel screws. They're a bit off, mainly the 4oclock one and 7 a bit aswell.

Are these screws alignable somehow? Can I unscrew, drop a bit of Loctite in them, twist them until they're properly aligned and let it sit until it's properly glued?
Or is this a completely bad idea?


Is it realistic to RL this one and get a perfect aligned piece?
Thanks in advance.

Just my opinion (feel free to make your own observations and decision as the buyer)

- AP logo is tilted yes. I will ask for another piece.

Regarding the screws, always remember that the bezel "screws" are actually part of the decorative bolts which connect the bezel to the caseback. The proper way to align them is always by opening the caseback and doing the necessary adjustments. A screwdriver should never touch the decorative screw heads on the bezel IMHO.

Hi there, I’m wondering what you like best for a royal oak offshore diver ref 15710st with black dial off the shelf. I’d also add about $1000 in mods if there are mods you’d recommend? Thank you!
