rogerthat Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 The Zigmeister disagreed with this analysis and felt if serviced the watch and movement would work great Just add a servicing into the cost of the watch difficult to do given the already high cost but itnis needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the major issue that is preventing me from buying one of these bad boys. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I got both of my ROO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky driver Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 so the problem was solved by a service there where on other issues with your watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 The service included an exchange of a smaller part for the NAVY.....the RB2 was just completely serviced! Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Just to add, I was 2 for 2 with AP ROO Seconds at 12 received and stopped working. Both were fully serviced no parts or anything but a full service. Both now work great with really long power reserve to boot. As Pam1a mentions makes this expensive rep even more expensive when you add the cost of a service. Bonus is if you can have someone lume the watch at the same time you will be pleased with the finished result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firansky Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Dear all, I know it is not good to post and comment when you are angry and mad....but I have to tell you about this. It was all about my big love ... the AP Royal Oak Offshore chronos. I have all possible MBW models and he did a very special model upon my request in veeeerrry limited numbers....but it was only sec@9. So I was absolutely amazed and excited when they announced the sec@12 chronos where the factory managed to take care of all the visible flaws....the outcome was a dream-come-true, a AAA-looking timepiece, a real clone.....this time with seconds running correctly at 12 o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senator Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I gave all my 3 secs@12 APROO's out for service and now the watches working well without any problem. I think, that's the point to do!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 well......my RBII died again 2 days ago! I was wearing it for a week without a break (thats a loooong time for me!), put it in my watch-box and wanted to wear it again beginning of the week...DEAD again! So this damn thingy has to go to D. again for a 2nd service-break. Will keep you posted on this, Theo P.S.: D is on holiday leave at the moment so don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVD Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 My AP ROO black themes sec @ 12 (bought from PT end of 2008) did run, but also did stop all the time. It would run for ... minutes, then stop for ... minutes etc. So no need to say it did not keep time well. I sent it to TomHighway for service / repair ; and now it does run well ! Very nice watch, and keeps perfect time. Also the chrono function works well. KVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
308GTS Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Have 2 Baracello's for many months, II (blue face) & III (rose gold) both secs at 12. Wear daily & use pushers often. Had cleaned when received. Have absolutely no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuterepeater Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Sounds like good work being done on the serviced models. I've been a member here for a long time but have not had any wathces serviced for years. As The Zigmeister can not be contacted now, can anyone recommend a watchsmith for servicing the AP's in the U.S.?? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
