yes both are the 3120. older one has the glossy cut dial vs. the newer one has the stamped dial. The newer one also has the display back with awesome engraved rotor.

Both are awesome but since I look at the watch on my wrist more often than flipping it over and looking at the movement I'll take the older dial with intricate detail that can really be appreciated in person.

Still better in person but here's the cut dial on the FC diver before they went to the stamped dial on the CE diver.

There is a used new model with the open case-back for sale on eBay for £12,750. Would need someone experienced to verify its authenticity but that’s a pretty bloody good price

Glad I got my white dial before being discontinued. But really, AP in general just exudes sophistication, so much going on even in it’s simplest form.

WF haven't updated the MSRP price yet so I would expect this to go up in value as they are only just made the Rolex price corrections in the last day, an example a 2018 Rolex BLNR just went up £500 overnight

Still think £13,950 is good value and the exhibition casebacks dont hang around too long

My first AP is exactly the one you want. It was a 15703 and was gorgeous with great wrist presence. I also ordered a steel bracelet which I kept on most of the time. It was a beauty. Have fun

I love mine. I only have a 6.75" wrist but I think I can pull it off despite it being a tad on the hefty side.

I just spoke to him. I didn’t see anything wrong in his answers. He has dropped the price because the dealer that he bought it from has offered to buy it back, but for a fair bit less. He’s desperate for money so wants a quick sale.

If you can see it in person then it should be easy enough from the movement to verify it’s legit. Worst case some movement issues but a service shouldn’t cost more than a grand I guess ?!

I'd only buy it in person from him, they make very good fakes of this now so he could bait and switch this.

I agree, he only wants a face to face. Which I think is encouraging

It’s still under warranty so that should be covered shouldn’t it?

Ah, then in that case yes it should be, provided it’s not user caused damage.

Assume the warranty can transfer with the owner, but worth double checking - maybe with AP themselves even.

Has the owner confirmed that?

Only ask as it’s a 2015 watch so would of came with a 2 year warranty which could be extend to 3 years but it was via either sending it in for the third year stamp or registering it (can’t remember the dates in which they changed requirements)

It’s only models purchased post 1/1/17 which can be registered for the 5 year warranty.

Warranty is with watch and as I’m far as I’m aware AP do not assign any name to the watch or warranty card it just dated and stamped.

If you have an AP account you can register the watch to that and I know AP do it for you when you purchase from them (AP house London can’t confirm all locations) so they can in essence know who first registered it.
