is my AP ROO DOA?

[arrowax]

Hi,

I just got my AP ROO rubber bezel today.

I pulled the crown to change the date and the time. I put it back in, it wont start.

How do I put the crown back correctly? Do I screw it back in or just push it in? Is it DOA?

Thank you for your help.

Did you try shaking it? Automatics work based on movement.

Firm but not too firm, look for the 12 oclock sudial to start moving and you are good to go.

Crown if it does not push all the way back in, screw the rest of it in.

Cheers,

Yes I tried it. I am familiar with auto and also manual wind watches.

I received 3 watches, the other 2 watch works fine. I am just not too sure that I put the crown back correctly

LO and behold...It works now..

However, the crown is very hard to pull to adjust date and minute. Any advice?

I am sure that was quite a scare. Glad it is working well now.... Some pics?

I am hoping mine will arrive soon and without issue...

What are your impressions of the bezzle?

does it seem a hard rubber? solid?

thanks and wear it well...

I will post pics if I can find my camera. Forgot where I put it.

Rubber is fine, solid. I tried it on with my jacket and no peeling whatsoever. But it is only my first day, so we'll have to wait and see about the durability. But it looks great. I have a gen actually,one of them close to this one is steel black dial leather and I can't find any difference in quality, weight etc. Kinda regret spending close to $20k. Oh well..

I have received 7 watches this week, expecting 3 more tomorrow hopefully. Most of them are priced close to the AP ROO. I have had to return 2 watches so far. The rest is fine.

Good luck with yours.

Congrats on the new 7 watches!!!!!

I will..Lost my bloody camera..still cant find it.

Anyway, Thanks to RWG (and RG too).But RWG is the first forum I found. Without this forum, I will not have these fantastic watches.
