One drop of Moebius 9010 is the recommended oil on the rotor bearings. Although sometimes I can't resist a 2nd drop if it's still noisy.

Thank all of you for the support.
The thing that tells me it's all about the powering of the watch is that date flips ok, and the watch actually seems to keep good time when I wear it (had it tonight for a few hours).

So, according to everyone's opinion it seems that the 1rst thing to do is opening the caseback.

I'm not equiped yet but hey, this is a good opportunity to get into it. So if I should buy a tool to open the caseback : rubber ball or basic case opener?

mrsullivan , does it always stop at the same time? I mean, 0h45, 1h45, 5h45, etc. It might be the hands are caught with something. In mine, depending how tight the screws were on the movement inside the case, the seconds hand would get stuck with the crystal. Nothing I couldn't sort, but still a bit weird. Other than that, the rotor might be too light or stuck, as many members say.

No, it seems to stop any time of the day, after a while once off the wrist.

It did run great the whole evening on my wrist and I just put it back on the winder for the night, with a winding set of 5mn back/5mn forth/6mn off.
I'll see if the watch still runs tomorrow morning.

mrsullivan : a ball of tape or a ball of rubber bands work if you have them around the house. I ended up getting this for ~$5 and it has worked very well on every case so far including Rolex, Tudor, Seiko, and misc. vintages: I don’t even bother with the handle tool anymore. Go for the green color and draw a crown and R (or slide on an extra decal dial) and you’ll feel better. :)

Noted, rubber ball ordered, it should be here in a few days.
I also ordered Moebius9010 as adviced by KJ2020

After a night on a winder set for 5mn on/5mn off, the watch was running like a charm this morning. I go for the PR problem. Apart that the watch seem to work on a - 4 to 5 seconds/day constant, which is pretty fine.
I'll open the case once I get the opening rubber ball.

Thank you all, I don't want to monopolize the thread with this individual issue, so let's get back to BPs...

Beside the actual movement problem, this 16710 looks really crisp, love it.
Here are lume pic and sunray pic, enjoy.

Owners, please help me. Just ordered my BP TT CHNR.

I will order a custom kit with:

- booklets
- rolex paper bag
- box
- wallet
- custom card, with my name, the name of the dealer that I want, model and serial number
- custom price tag with the value that I want, with the serial and model

I know I know... but I like it! And no, I wont use that to sell it as the real deal. Its just for personal pleasure.

Anyways, do we know if BP uses random serial numbers, or is he always using the same? I like to put the correct serial in the documents.

I really like the fact that I can customize every info on the card and the tag.

Follow the shaft of the GMT hand to its hole surround. You can easily see it sits on the bottom of the stack, making it ICHS.

I just heard back, ordered the GMT Master II 2018 126711 RG/SS Black BP A2836

Took KJ2020's advice and went with the ICHS. Also couldn't pull off the full gold even though it's incredible and went with the two tone

Aye, let us wait together
