Last night I took off my watch at about 9:30pm and when I woke up this morning my watch read 11:45pm. I wore it all day yesterday so I don't understand why this happened, should I be worried? Thanks

slowhand · 12 June 2013, 10:48 PM

I suppose you're referring to your APROO Panda?

Exact same thing happened to mine, brand new piece too. Brought it in to APSC, was told that it was due to the lubricant oils drying up. Took 8 weeks to fix.

You should get it checked out.

kilyung · 12 June 2013, 11:02 PM

I'm assuming you gave it a full wind? Take it to the AP Boutique and have them put it on a timegrapher. Should know quickly what needs to be done next. If you're sending to Clearwater APSC for warranty service, make sure to register it for the 3rd yr warranty.

Submarino · 12 June 2013, 11:04 PM

Sorry to hear this. Hopefully, is nothing huge. As Mike says, the boutique will sort it out.

diver2012 · 12 June 2013, 11:15 PM

As Mike says, had you given it a full 40 turn wind when you first got it?

Had you been active the days before yesterday?

It might be worth trying a 40 turn wind and seeing how long it runs for without wearing it before starting to panic.

HKRolexFans · 12 June 2013, 11:20 PM

It was strange that you wore it whole day which means the watch has been fully wound on your wrist before you take it off. Just about 3 hours it used up all the winding and came to a halt. Seems a service at APCS seems necessary, but anyway, no worry, AP is such a luxury brand that you would receive good service for your watch.

simongpaez · 13 June 2013, 12:05 AM

I hope everything ok and nothing major with your panda, good luckk

koz123 · 13 June 2013, 12:06 AM

Sorry this happened to you as I remember you've been wanting this for a very long time. When I first got my RGRc, I had to send it in because of a smudge under the crystal.

But look on the bright side, you could get the 3 years warranty in return.

These things happen to the best of us unfortunately!

At least you know that AP will make it right - and that's what the warranty is for.

koz123 · 13 June 2013, 03:18 AM

So the women there told me that I should wind it 30x or so that wearing it for a few days might not have powered it up... I don't know about that but it seemed like they didn't want to bother with it being I wasn't even asked to take it off. I guess ill leave it off the winder tonight and see what happenes

when you go in just mix in little white lies, like I already did that =D harder to write you off that way.

You could manual wind it yourself. I am not a fan of winder.

Not the best answer for sure, specially on a brand new piece with that price tag.

steveclocks · 13 June 2013, 05:43 AM

That sucks Anthony, these things will happen I am affraid, had a similar thing with when my Breitling for Bentley was brand new!
Had to take it back in and it stayed in for a month!
Haven't had any problems with it since.
I am sure it will be fine with your marvellous AP ROO too!
Don't give it up to easily! Your Panda is a fantastic watch man (wish I could wear it!)

Rashid.bk · 13 June 2013, 04:09 AM

Crappy news. Definitely give it a full charge, the winder overnight may not be a good source for maintaining the watch going if it's not the right calibration. Good luck.

Demonoid · 13 June 2013, 04:26 AM

Same thing happened to my 15400 just a month old. What was happening was the piece was not holding its power reserve. 3 weeks to the boutique and its been working great ever since. It's a pain in the arse but stuff like this happens.... Just think that it has a solution. Just have patience Anthony.

v5cog · 13 June 2013, 06:26 AM

Sorry to hear your problems Anthony... Hope it gets sorted soon !

koz123 · 13 June 2013, 06:57 AM

I had a friend in the industry put it on his watch device which tests the amplitude, he saw it wasoff, it also picked up extra noise in the movement so he thinks a wheel is rubbing. Awesome news! Not lol. I'm going to drop it off tomorrow and tell them the power reserve didn't hold regardless of the out come tonight into tomorrow morning.

Bigbadbns · 13 June 2013, 07:20 AM

sorry to hear... I'd consider sending it directly to clearwater. Not sure about AP but i've heard horrible experiences where boutique damaged customers watches during shipping process.

Good luck!!!

kilyung · 13 June 2013, 07:21 AM

Do you happen to know the amplitude? I'm assuming the "noise" is actually the beat error rate? Not sure how he could tell gears are rubbing with a timegrapher. I agree with Bryant, I'd send it directly to Clearwater rather than risk any additional issues at the Boutique.

Hairdude1 · 13 June 2013, 01:47 PM

Sorry to hear, I hope this gets resolved quickly

Lamkyle · 13 June 2013, 04:06 PM

man, this sucks.. my 15400 had this problem as well when i first bought it
send it back to service for a month and now all's good..
be patient and prepared, the wait is even harder ><, gd luck!

DreambreaX · 13 June 2013, 06:28 PM

this means AP still not mastered their movement product.

That is a pretty small sample size you are using to draw such a broad conclusion.

mb23 · 13 June 2013, 08:49 PM

wingku · 14 June 2013, 12:58 AM

Some kind of service.....for the price tag of the watch.

breitlingherst · 14 June 2013, 01:42 AM

Good luck!! I believe the watchmaker arrives after 1pm? It may need to go back to Genva. I know another WIS that had PR problems on his RO Perpetual and it took 2 trips to the boutique and about 3 months of time in Geneva.

koz123 · 14 June 2013, 03:26 AM

Just dropped it off, we'll see what they say in a week.

I know you must be gutted - but once you get it back it will be working as it should have done and this whole incident will be behind you!
