PowerShot Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hello world, Just wanted to share with you a few pics of my two latest addition to my rep family! I'm totally in love with them! Especially with the AP Here is some pictures And the second one! Actually everything is not good with my 111M, the movement doesn't want to work. It's seems that the movement is fully winded (I cannot wind it anymore) but the balance wheel doesn't move. When I gently shake the watch, the balance wheel starts to move but stop just a few seconds after. The anchor is moving also, the watch seems to run but the second hand doesn't move at all. Are you familiar with this problem? I've already had the same problem on my first panerai. (supposed to have a swiss unitas) I'm I doing something bad or just unlucky with these "swinese" unitas? Please chim in, Best regards! PS (Mods feel free to move in the right section if you feel this thread not in the right place ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the new Jumbo 1:1 available from all the trusted dealers here I think! I can only recommend you getting this one, they are really well made and have a great presence on the wrist!

opti Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 looks like one of the jewels on that pam has a crack in it, the one to the right of the panarai sticker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calatrava Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hope you're able to fix the Pam. The AP RO is a thing a beauty, it's definitely next on my list. I already have the Vacheron Constantin Overseas and the Patek Philippe Nautilus, so the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is the natural thing to round off the collection of high-end sports watches.

upland Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Had the same problem with my Milgauss , opened it and found one of mounting screws under mainspring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerShot Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Thanks for the answers guys! Opti: I've had a closer look with a loupe and there is something strange, doesn't look like the others but doesn't seems to be cracked. Calatrava: thanks for the kind words! You should have started with the RO! :-) which color did you get for the Nautilus? I really want this one also but can't decide myself on the dial color..

PowerShot Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Bump Any other people who maybe see what kind of problem it can be? Best regards, PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calatrava Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Calatrava: thanks for the kind words! You should have started with the RO! :-) which color did you get for the Nautilus? I really want this one also but can't decide myself on the dial color.. You're welcome, it is a wonderful watch. I got the Nautilus with the blue dial, since the gen 5711 is only available in stainless steel with bracelet in that dial color. The Nautilus 3711 with bracelet in white gold is available with the black dial (and maybe the grey) but the look of stainless steel is less warm than that of white gold.

calatrava Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 As a follow up, I finally got myself one of the AP Royal Oak Jumbos with the black dial, and it is indeed a beauty. I now have the big three of dressy high-end sports watches: the AP Royal Oak Jumbo, PP Nautilus Jumbo, and VC Overseas (as well as the gen of the VCO). Of the three, I still like the VCO the best, which is a good thing, since I plonked down serious money on the gen before trying out the AP Royal Oak. Don't get me wrong, the AP RO is a classic, but is just a tad bit on the small side for me, and I like the more contemporary and refined design of the VCO. In any case, note to self, try out the replicas of all the main contenders before committing to another gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 your VCO is a very good version. Note the correct shape for the date window and the generously sized maltese cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calatrava Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 your VCO is a very good version. Note the correct shape for the date window and the generously sized maltese cross. Thanks, I got this from PureTimeWatch. It is essentially the one Silix used to offer with double AR, but without the double AR coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 On the pam one theing i can see is that the swans neck adjusting screw is about to fall out, the reason it is not running could be any of the number of things but i would suspect the dial is rubbing on the seconds post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
