Now the big 'seconds' hand has also come off on my watch. Can a watchmaker fix this or is the hand damaged?

I thought it would have a full circle on the end but it is a semi circle.

The hand base looks broken R.

Thank you very much for confirming. I will reach out to my TD to see if he can get me a new seconds hand.

I really want to send this watch to you to work on but it's just one setback after another.

Yes I think that is what did it. My TD said he can get another hand set.

The watch looks really nice but has been cursed since day one.

Ideally AP would make a ceramic 15500 that ZF would replicate.

I trust your experience mate and I think other owners will have problems too. The watch seems to be quickly put together. Let s hope they review their copy and come back with a better v3, but I doubt it will any better.

100% with you on a full ceramic 15500, would be awesome. I would buy it even if it isn’t in AP catalogue.

its unfortunate that this rep is plagued with so many problems. as we start to see after wearing for a bit that it starts falling apart.....
definitely placing this watch on hold. build quality needs to return to reps....just seeing it across a lot of different reps right now. lack of build
quality.

Yes, I look at mine in the box with the moon phase dial unglued and out of place. And I wasn't doing any parkour ???????? now a box queen.

It looks great, it's just not made so great.

Have you told your TD about your issues?

No...i fucked it up just removing and reattaching the bracelet, it's my relatively small cross to bear. I would probably buy it again if they actually improved all these things or another factory took a swing. APSF, or whatever it's called, build is pretty, but pretty junky.

Does this watch have right full functionality? And are the watch hands etc symmetrical? Apsf has problems with symmetry tho..
