I'm looking at buying a 2012 pre owned royal oak. Please could someone confirm if the AP warranty stays with the watch or is it only valid for the original purchaser?

Also, I've heard about making sure you get your 'sticker' or 'stamp' from AP for a third year of warranty(?) could someone enlighten me on what this means and how this works.

I'm in the UK of that makes a difference.

Hoping to be able to post up an INCOMING thread soon.

Thanks

Stays with watch and to get 3rd year contact AP Service center and for it to be valid you need to do waterproof test in year 2 if I remember correctly.

Do you know if all ADs are still obliged to carry out the WR test free of charge, if the watch was not purchased from them?

AD's don't and can't carry out tests as they are done by AP Service Centers.

Are you sure this is the case throughout Europe as well? When I say AD I do not mean AD in the US context, where ADs are mostly sales outlets.

For instance my local Rolex AD is fully certified to carry out all service (including Vintage) and tests on all Rolex models. They have a comprehensive workshop with about 5 Rolex certified watchmakers (though they are not classified as RSC). They are also AP and VC dealer and are already certified to carry out service on some AP models.

Whether that entails WR tests I do not know - but I can't see why not - should be less complicated than carrying out full service?

You don't have to pay for the service if its under warranty correct? The service done before you 2yr is up to receive the 3rd?
