reklamezonen so did you find a solution for the rotor issue ? and I wanted to know Tigerdragon , the rotor noise comes from the bearing right ? if I put a tiny drop of oil there will it help ? the noise is no big deal but if it can be fixed easily why not . the rotor is not buttery smooth it doesn't get stuck but almost .

Its on The Way to Domi in germany, lets hope he Can fix it?

Did you manage to fix? Love this model but a bit put off by all the native reviews from various people...

Are there many owners that haven't had any problems?

To me it I find it how the dial of the DC quartz model dial surpasses the quality of the JF's. JF needs to sub-contract DC's source for some of it's dials.

It's not better than the quartz dial only the printing is a little better the tapiseries and color is way better on JF

I don't get the crown out because it's to tiny and there is no grip at all.

Monster reveiw. I really wish some of the bigger players would start doing APs and give JF some competition. It’s a shame it seems like they can get away with poor qc yet a pretty high price tag.

I have got my AP 15202 JF today - it's very nice, but the rotor is stuck.

the watch is moving - it's póssible to use the crown in order to move the hands and the date and give reserve,
but that not all as how it's meant to be.

what is best I shoud do - now?

Kinda sad.

:(

You can return it to PT
You can send it to a watchsmith
You can try to open it, remove rotor, oil it, put back rotor, and give it a try

Its not from PT - ...
think the watchsmith - although very difficult to find, has to be it.

to open a watch like that, is not in my abilities -

Sorry about PT, was a typo and wanted to say TD lol.

You can easly remove the caseback and check if it moves.
For the watchsmith, where are you located?
