AP 3rd Year Warranty

I am contemplating a used AP ROC which has a certificate stamp of June 2013. I believe a 3rd year warranty is available.

Does this apply to a second owner? What is the process? How much does this usually cost?

Just go to AP and ask to do a WR test and you should get the 3rd year warranty

AP 3rd Year Warranty

Send to Clearwater service center - there is no cost. I don't see an issue.

yes it applies to the second owner. the only caveat is that you have to send it in before your 2 year warranty expires.

the only downside is you will not have your watch for 4 weeks

The only cost will be shipping.

Unless you're doing holidays in the city where the service center is, you can just do a quick walk in to check?

I like the AP mentality, as I understand if you buy an RO on bracelet you can put a strap and vice versa, can change dials, and don't know what else, when I asked at the Panerai boutique in Paris if it was possible to order a clear case back for my Pam 82, you should've seen her face, she was shocked "if Panerai made them like that they are meant to stay like that", it kills me when you have a watch not to be able to go strap or bracelet, that should be the norm...

They say 4 weeks but I sent my ROC for water testing in first week of April through my AD and still have not received it back yet. Been about 6 weeks now, not happy with how long it's been taking.

Only use AP's service would be my advise as well.
