Woke up at 6:50am for work, wat h was fine. Took it off to shower and get ready for work and went to strap it back on and it read 6:55am. I unscrewed the crown, reset the time, wound it up and screwed it in. It ran for a few secs and stopped. Pulled the crown back out, pushed it in and it started working. Flipped it over and the balance wheel was not moving and when I flipped the watch back over, it wasn't running.

Oh well, definitely a bummer... I inquired about a warranty, the AP warranty expired in Feb, and it wasn't sent in for the 3rd yr of coverage. Thankfully, EastCoast Time was kind enough to offer me a 1 yr warranty on it for peace of mind.

Sorry to hear this brother! Hopefully it will be something small and Clearwater will take care of it in no time. Good vibes your way!

texex91 · 8 September 2015, 02:58 AM

Sorry to hear for sure.

Glad you have a warranty from your dealer which should resolve it.

Let us know what is found.

HL65 · 8 September 2015, 03:30 AM

Bummer but Jake and Eric are solid and will stand behind it of course. Hope you get it back quickly!

thomaspp · 8 September 2015, 03:42 AM

Hope you get it resolved ASAP.

Manofsteelpt · 8 September 2015, 03:44 AM

Thanks guys... My 4th AP and only issue, so, not gonna let it get me down. My right arm was getting too big anyways with it on, it can use the rest, lol.

Haven't spoken to them yet cuz the holiday, but I'm sure it'll work out fine.

jjnd08 · 8 September 2015, 06:30 AM

Best of luck getting it fixed.

Keep us posted.

tcheeco · 8 September 2015, 06:42 AM

Sorry to hear that. My blue Arabic did the same thing some years ago, the problem was solved (under warranty) in 3 weeks ;-)

1st amg · 8 September 2015, 08:15 AM

Oh crap, sorry to hear, but it sounds like you will have it under control. Good luck!

Hairdude1 · 8 September 2015, 10:46 AM

Sucks to hear! Sounds like you have a good plan moving forward

GB-man · 8 September 2015, 12:36 PM

Bummer mike. Hope it is sorted quickly to your liking

Epwerkz · 8 September 2015, 02:38 PM

All the best :)

conkers · 8 September 2015, 04:15 PM

Sorry to hear this Mike. The Chrono second hand fell off one of mine recently! Was a quick fix but still very annoying!

Abdullasaif · 8 September 2015, 04:22 PM

Sad moment when things like that happen, hopefully its just a minor issue and gets fixed

grnman · 8 September 2015, 04:39 PM

all fixable but the most annoying thing is sometimes the wait to get that baby back on your wrist. at least warranties get fast tracked more. (mine is in its 15th week and still not back on a warranty claim)
now ive got some time to train my arms to your size and catch up while you don't have the platinum bumbell.

Manofsteelpt · 9 September 2015, 01:04 AM

Thanks guys, talked to ECT this am and I'm waiting for them to call me back and how to proceed.

Btw, not even stressed about it in the least bit.

SpunkyQ8 · 9 September 2015, 01:38 AM

That's a bummer for sure Mike. Hopefully, you'll get it back quickly. Best of luck!

Fingers crossed for a speedy resolution !

lapince · 9 September 2015, 09:08 PM

yeah that sucks but nothing special to nothing special to fix IMO, good lesson to get the 3rd year warranty you didn't but good that the dealer still gave you one...
