Mechanical issue on a new 77350ST

Hi, just wanted to share on something odd.

After I wound and adjust the time and date, when I push the crown to finish the time adjustment, the minute hand is jumping about 0.5-1 minutes ahead.

Besides that, the watch works perfect, keep the time very good.

Never happened to me on the watches.

Are any of you experienced this as well, you think it’s normal or should I report it to the AP boutique?

Thanks

Mine also shows this large jump when pish the crown back.

Before pushing the crown back, try to wind just a tiny bit in reverse direction would help.

I hate it when it does that. Feels like AP should be better than that.

It’s unbelievable…

The wearability, to push out the crown is so hard, just things I wouldn’t imagine AP won’t make it perfect.

Known problem. Gentle push is the trick.

New movements are more sturdy, no longer an issue there. But still a shame.

The watch was bought a month ago

77350 should be on caliber 5800, made by Vaucher but to AP standards, if I understand correctly.

Normal on many movements from many brands. Reverse the minute hand just before pushing the crown in. So if you are going forward when setting time, go past the time you are setting with 15 minutes and then reverse into the correct time.

ROO 3126 Enhancement....

if u opt for the 3126 enhancement, AP will reduce 59jewel to 54jewel, the watch gets lighter, the min hand will jump everything u adjust the time...
