Your proposed offer to transact the sale at an AP AD is an excellent one and, barring any collusion in play, following through on it with a prospective buyer is an excellent way for them to obtain third party confirmation of the watch's authenticity and state of repair. I'm sure it's not lost on you how much risk in involved in paying a private seller that much money and having little recourse if things "go South" after the fact.
Good luck with your sale.
All the best.

If you're doing this yourself in the future, as a buyer you should pick the jeweler preferably someone you have a relationship with. The seller should have no problem assuming it's conveniently located.
