lol I don't - wrist size 7.3" here (inches). I'm using 45-47mm watches, mostly PAM's as my daily drivers, it's just weight honestly. pity because it's stellar timepiece.

Yeah for real, you are over 7 foot and balking at something weighing 150 grams? The AP Royal Oak from JF weighs roughly the same and I can barely feel it on my wrist.
7 feet, 3 inches
Don't ask him his shoes size....................you know what they say............................:thumbup:

I'm willing to bet he meant 6'3" but I'm 6"4 and I can't even wear a Rolex sub because i feel
Like I'm wearing a kids watch.

Yes, you are correct. should be 6'3" instead of 7. My exact wrist size is 7.3 inch.
Update - February 10 - My Prince from INtime will not run sitting stationary for more than 1 hour, it will run on my wrist (watch is wound as it is showing 7 on the Power Reserve Dial). Also, noticed a few metal flakes on the dial. Starting to think that with the poor lume on the dial, the movement issues and the metal flakes on the dial that perhaps ZF rushed this one to get it out prior to CNY.

Hope anyone with 5001 might be able to provide some additional information about this because sounds very serious. The problem is known but not on that scale. [MENTION=35758]Goodwood[/MENTION] can you cover your words regarding dial by providing some pictures if possible? thx.
Keep using the watch for a bit, keep the movement running, etc. When I got my 5007 the watch would stop working but the PR would sit at 3. I couldn't run the PR reserve down as well, I'd have to get the watch going - let it run down (it'd then stop), repeat. Now after a few weeks of wearing it, the watch runs perfect.

Does your watch wind automatically? Like when you wear it the auto wind works? There are a lot of these movements with autowind issues. I have a 7 days that wont auto wind after being sent back to Ryan 3 times already!!! It manually winds fine.

Had the same issue with my new 3878 and it turned out that the movement was not oiled adequately. A few drops in the right places and the power reserve is now normal.
I think this is the case the watch sounds dry when you wind it (if that makes any sense) but again another exmaple of how I think this watch was rushed out the door by ZF.

The rotor did not seem to rotate easily but the watch was wound to 6-7 on the power reserve dial and still will not consistently run. Think it needs oil.

Anyone ship their Prince out for proper dial lume? I use to use Ziggy for this task but he retired 3 plus years ago from watch repairs/mods.

I would be interested too if anyone can recommend anyone with a decent turnaround time. +1
