Yeah the bezel is dinged up I told hampus to sleep on it.

 

Felix posted the wrong watch, never mind about that one. All I'm asking if the movement will be damaged after it's been sitting in a safe unworned after XX yrs

 

Ask Audemars themselves about it. If the movement is damaged your looking at 5k and 13 weeks of fixing (like mine)

 

I once heard a story about someone who faked a watch repair receipt in Photoshop and then claimed he already owned the watch when it got stuck in customs to avoid taxes and toll . . .

 

 

Hamp I told you this before in Saint-Tropez but I dont know if you remember but the best thing about the ROO is that I wore it all the time with the formal clothes, swimming trunks its very versatile, sporty and its just about the perfect watch. I dearly miss the watch, I'll get mine back in a month or so. I recommend you to get one

 

IMHO, worth the money for a new one. Simply because of what was mentioned earlier...IF there is a problem, it could easily be a 2-5k job out of warranty and that would then put you up to new ROO pricing. I just took the "dive" and am currently waiting on the watch to be delivered (who whoo!). I didnt opt for the rubberclad though.

 

I wore it and just used it everyday even when going out to Sea, 1 year later took it for a polish and its just like new. I used to thin the rubberclad in ss looks dull but when you wear it and get used to it; it fits like a glove and its just the perfect watch as its not too flashy due to the SS and not many people know it like rolex(cliche).


If I was going to look as an alternative it would be a PP Jumbo Nautlius but its much more expensive and cant haggle with pricing.
