Ska 11 Posted August 11, 2010 Welcome mate - where did you get your AP from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted August 11, 2010 Welcome to RWG! The secs@12 AP replicas are pretty close to the gen, but the movement modifications needed to get the seconds subdial at the 12 o'clock position can sometimes result in poor reliability (very much dependent on QC - some people have had no problems at all, others have had lots of issues). Hopefully you bought it from a reputable dealer so if problems do occur within the warranty period you can get it sorted out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Straker 0 Posted August 13, 2010 Welcome mate - where did you get your AP from? Hi,yes I got it from 'Buyperfectwatch.com',I hope they're ok,I'm sure you fine chaps will tell me if their bad news.I think this whole rep watch thing is a complete gamble,but hey,here goes,fingers crossed.
