breitman 0 Posted June 30, 2013 I did a quick search and could not find any thread which matches my explicit question. I believe the rotor screw may be loose on my AP ROO Montauk Highway because it does not sound like the rotor is moving freely within the case; I can hear the rotor rubbing against metal and immediately stopping 1 out of 5 times when i pivot the watch, otherwise the rotor is not moving at all (based on lack of audible feedback). From what I have been reading, tightening down the rotor screw should address the issue. My questions are: Is this a simple task which I can complete myself? I have ordered the RWG tool kit to have the proper blades to safely take off the case back and tighten the rotor screw. Is there anything specific I should do when putting everything back together (grease the case back, loctitie the threads of the AP case back screws, etc...)? Is there any additional tasks I should complete while I have the case back off? Thanks for your help, Breitman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xebryus 0 Posted June 30, 2013 If you're doing a simple fix of screwing the rotor back in, it's the simplest tast there is. You should do it ASAP though, because it that screw manages to pop out and lodge itself in the mainspring, that'll cause some serious damage. Just unscrew the caseback screws, pop it off, tighten down the rotor screw and assemble back up. Just make sure you're in a clean dust free environment and try not to touch much in there.

breitman 0 Posted June 30, 2013 Will do. I read through the post about finding a lost screw in a 7750 and am not looking forward to taking this project to that level. Thanks for the prompt reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breitman 0 Posted July 25, 2013 Rotor screw was tight. I had to back all the screws out one full turn before the rotor stopped rubbing. I figure I can just lpctite the threads in the backed out state, but is there a better solution? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abagnale 0 Posted July 25, 2013 i had the same issue with my safari. after a very bad experience with a 15300 it's already the second ap with clearence problems on the caseback. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breitman 0 Posted July 26, 2013 @Amperes, what was you solution your two rotor clearance issues? I assume backing off the screws and applying thread locker to them to retain them in the backed out state? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
