AP Reliability

[Tomas Eriksson]

Owned a 15400 and a 15707 since new in -16, zero issues. Especially the 15707 has had a good life, still keeps excellent time. Had to get it de-magnetised two times but except for that it held up to proper years of Jet-setting.

It feels like it has improved, as I was used to seeing far more QC issues 5 years ago here, I think AP have made a sustained effort to correct this conception they were beginning to have.

AP's are very nice. Ive never heard complaints about them

Also had a screw come loose in the movement after service but I consider this one human error. All issues were quickly fixed by AP and no problems since. I've also had issues with all watch brands I've owned...Rolex, IWC, panerai, omega, etc. APSC is by far the best to deal with if any issues do happen.

Update since this post: Had the crown come out of my 15400 a second time and had the pusher fall off my Pt 44mm. Both required paying for full services. APSC was great to deal with as usual.

My AP 25940 Rubber clad is 7+ years old and has been worn weekly with no issues ever nor has my RG ROO though worn considerably less. AP reliability has been rock solid for me.
