Just bought myself my first AP, it came in today and i am loving it. But when i flip my watch upside down, one of screws on the bezel seems to be loose. Is this something a local watchmaker would be able to fix or do i need to go to a authorized AP dealer with specialized tools?

Sounds like the right sized screw driver will do the trick.

Go to a mall kiosk of you don’t have one.

Oh dear, I picture a pimply teenager trying to turn one of the “screw heads” on the bezel with all his strength...

Ah.... I just realized you tighten to top screws on the bezels by turning the screws on the bottom.... *facepam*

Congrats, but take it to the nearest AP service center as soon as possible. It can by tempting the screw it in yourself (backside) but those screws hold the gasket that keeps the watch watertight. You need torque adjusted screws made for AP to do the job correctly. Also you should get them to check if something is broken, cause the top screws are hollow bolts that hold the screw, there should be no play at all unless the screw is broken or stripped

Congratulations on a beauty! Hopefully the screw issue is fixed ASAP!
