AP Rubberclad - Stem won't Stay In Position To Change Time


Recommended Posts

My prized AP RGRC worked perfectly for a month.  Yesterday, I tried to reset the time (it had stopped overnight) and although I could pull the stem out to change the date, It would not "click" into position to change the time.  It just springs back to the date setting position.  Fiddling with it a little (i.e., trying it a few times) finally got it into place, but it's my favorite watch and I am now worried.  Is this something that is an easy fix for a local watchsmith, or is it serious enough to have to send back to the TD?

It sounds like your keyless works need to be reset. If so, it is a relatively straightforward fix. I would try to contact the TD to see if they will at least partially cover the cost of a repair. Then, consider sending it to a rep friendly watch smith. PM me for more info.

Thanks!  I like the watch enough that I will probably just send it off to Vac for a full service and possibly AR and in the course of the movement service, he will fix this issue . . .  But if you know a god watchsmith in Miami so that it does not disappear for 2 months, let me know!
