tridad Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 So strange, mine does the same exact thing.... Just a quick word on this issue, I had a similar problem with mine, and I had to take the CB off, because it eventually stopped running. When I took it off, I noticed that one of the screws that holds the part under the rotor, had come lose, and I guess eventually, got jammed, but I was lucky that I found it on time, before any damage was done, and was able to replace the screw where it belonged. These things are put together so fast, that I don't think they care how tight the screws are, even the one on the movement. Hopefully this helps you guys, and it is not something else, but still, check and make sure that all screws are tight, before somethings breaks or gets lost. Great watch though!!

mm..mm Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks Tridad, I opened the caseback to check but everything looks fine. Its really strange that the rotor blocks only when spinning in one direction. I will needless to say get the watch serviced to cover that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickHiC Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 My apbands white strap arrived. It looks pretty darn nice I think. I wasn't sure if I could pull off white, but my wife says it looks "sporty." (I think that means good?) I'm trying to upload a photo but my phone is being a b*tch.

Legend Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Very nice watch.. while at it, how about getting them to solve the classical A7750 sec@12 issue inherent with the rep AP with such movements? It would be a very very nice piece then lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnz Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Very nice watch.. while at it, how about getting them to solve the classical A7750 sec@12 issue inherent with the rep AP with such movements? It would be a very very nice piece then lol actually, i think the recent batches of sec@12 movements have somewhat improved, in terms of reliability. i've had 2 new APs in the past few months, and they have been running very well so far. would probably be a good idea to get them serviced still as a preventive measure, but i have to say the newer AP sec@12 models do seem to have a lower failure rate.

Its encouraging to hear that Burnz..I never had good luck with my rep APs but couldnt resist buying anyway for mods. I couldnt manage to get the gen. Survivor so I bought a rep. It failed on the 3rd day lol. Likewise for my rep. T3, Masato and Chronopassion! But i have been a sucker for limited edition AP ROOs, and so far, the only gen. I have is the T3. But that doesnt stop me buying nearly every other rep. AP that gets released! If only i had your luck lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickHiC Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ok managed to get a pic off my phone. It's not very quality, but you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tridad Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ok managed to get a pic off my phone. It's not very quality, but you get the idea. Looks great IMO, did you also get a tang buckle for it, or did you keep it on the deployant? Please let me know, and is the quality of the strap worth the price? Thanks a lot!!

I don't think it's worth that price, but you don't have much choice. Probably still a lot cheaper than a gen rubber strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iori_del Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Was wondering if it is worth to top up 70USD to get the Gen White color band? Since AP band is selling at 139. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
