apcollector Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hello, I am new to collecting rep's and have ordered my first AP royal oak, its a simple steel auto watch with Swiss eta ETA2824-2 movement. Anyway, my question is... how long do replicas (Swiss ones) keep "good" time for? and after how long will it require servicing? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 best is to service it as fast as possible and then later at 5 years intervals...then it can last for 50 years keeping good time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 3 -5 years before you probably need to adjust it, but you should probably service it around 5 years anyways. some people have 20 year old watches that have never been serviced that still keep great time.

apcollector Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks for the info. By the way, does anyone have info on the quality of AP 18kt gold plated reps? Whenever I've inquired about it, when buying one, I've been told to stay away from them. I was just wondering what were your experiences on owning one.

gran Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 My only gold rep had issues but it was a cheapy, probably it will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis29 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I would stay away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
