I loved this watch but changing the date on the 1st, the crown/stem came out.

It's been repaired under warranty but I've lost confidence in the brand!

Rolex for me from now??

texex91 · 15 October 2016, 08:07 AM

Yeah that could NEVER happen with Rolex

Thatguy · 15 October 2016, 08:08 AM

1 problem and you lose confidence in a brand? Rolex isn't perfect based on a number of threads.

Funny, I've had the same exact thing happen to a Rolex explorer 2

Apparently a step back as well

Audemars Piguet are a far more exclusive and higher watch company than Rolex

benlee · 15 October 2016, 08:17 AM

May I suggest a Gshock? Even more robust than Rolex.

ap1 · 15 October 2016, 08:18 AM

Seems extreme

77T · 15 October 2016, 08:35 AM

I had that happen with an Omega. Small screw is all that had backed out.

BTW similar design used by AP, Rolex and Omega...

All mechanical watches can have problems. I've had to send watch back after repair to Rolex, AP and VC. But in the end, it's your choice of course.

It's a machine. Machines break once in a while.

That sounds rather drastic. Everything needs a repair sooner or later no matter how prestigious the brand.

GolfPunk · 15 October 2016, 09:15 AM

Just me having owned Rolex for years without any trouble then one AP and that's that.

GolfPunk · 15 October 2016, 09:19 AM

At the end of the day. I had the AP repaired under warranty and I've sold it for a £900 profit and I've bought a ceramic daytona. I am delighted!

texex91 · 15 October 2016, 09:43 AM

Hmmm, mods moved your Rolex thread here--well now you have two threads in AP sub forum complaining.

Enjoy the Daytona

PS update your signature--take that horrible AP off

Hairdude1 · 15 October 2016, 10:01 AM

Sorry to hear you lost interest in the brand

conkers · 15 October 2016, 10:55 AM

Seems a shame to lose faith that easily.

AP is not for everybody... Enjoy your Daytona

sekorkor · 15 October 2016, 11:19 AM

That happened to my wife's PP too. But no big deal. Just stuck it back and the watch still works fine. Just mention it at the next service.

Dolor Doc · 15 October 2016, 11:42 AM

My AP caught fire on a plane flight a few weeks back.

Or was that my galaxy note phone?

Either way, enjoy the Rolex.

The OP had AP repair (which they did under warranty) and he already sold.

He's bringing this up now after he bought his Daytona.

Lame.
