G'day everyone.

I couldn't find very much info about this reference, hence am just wondering if anyone has experience owning one for a while ? I have a chance to buy a blue-dialled one which comes with everything in the box. It's a used 2008 watch and looks in pristine condition and everything works fine.

It's AP's first RO chrono though with a Piguet movement and I'm just if there's anything I should be concerned about.

I have had mine for a few years now and love it. The F. Piguet movement can be a little finicky so I would check out the service history on it in case you need to factor in a service into the price. That being said, the AP service center here in the US is top notch so every time I have run into issues, it has been handled very well.

I agree. For a ROC from 2008, in my opinion it would be sensible to factor a service into the price (unless it has been recently serviced).

It's being sold at a reputable used dealer and comes with a 2 year warranty from them. But I'll still check if they know its service history.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.
