OK. Don't wear it until you hear from PT. If there is sign of wear, you will only get parts repaired.

By the way, the pusher guard on mine almost fell off on its own.

Talk about quality of assembly at J12 factory!! Shameful really.

Did I hear someone say their bazel almost fell off too?



I am officially boycotting all J12 post-Schumi products from now on. Noob factory never had assembly problem like this.

Always tighten the hex screws on any of the AP 44mm crown guards. It takes a 1.3mm hex wrench. Be sure not to overtighten them or the swiss cheese Chinese screw heads will snap off.

Probably one of the simplest things to do on it bud just remove caseback and one screw to remove rotor just hold rotor will loosening screw. [emoji6]

that's just your experience bro, I had many Noob watches fall apart, screws fall out, etc. When you get your watch, even if you feel your TD is the best, I recommend checking each part and screw and tightening it if needed. Remember, you don't get the quality control here from AP, because we didn't spend the $50K on the watch! Just my opinion... on all pams I used to get years ago, I almost always had to tighten the screws on the submersibles crown guard. Also, Noob casebacks on the new blue DSSD, all the black lettering on the case back rubbed off on me after wearing it once! My black dial DSSD from NOOB, never did this ever and both I removed the sticker off the bottom. The old GP's from Noob, the black lettering on the case back came off on me, but not on JF versions and it's def an improvement. Just saying that unfortunately this is part of the hobby brother! Hope you get it fixed quick and enjoy your beautiful GP!

I must be lucky, so far (touch wood), no issues with any watch.. Long may that be the case!!

Don't work on reps unless you have excellent watch smith skills. (PS. Reps are harder to work on than gens.)

 

[chris3007]

I agree with you 100%

I love my GP it looks better then the pics we saw originally. It's a great wearer 33grams lighter then the Ti Schumacher. The build quality is up their with the Schumacher. I know it has flaws but I love it. The rep strap is really good also having a small wrist 6.75 I thought I would have to put it on the xs rubber but i have it on the 1st hole and it fits well. I will definitely be getting another GP. Now RG or Platinum .

Yea. I guess you are right. The problem is not a huge one. It's only loose screw and doen't require genius to fix it ;-p
I never had loose screw problem before so I was kinda disappointed with the sloppiness. .
Thanks brother for sharing your experiences with other makers.
My lesson from that is to never overestimate the craftsmanship. Lol

Nice shot. You've got me vacillating between the Platinum and FC again. I guess the easy way out is "get both". [emoji1]

Always happy to share my insights! Good luck in getting it fixed or swapping it. I think I need a rubberclad now... Been liking this one and a friend of mine just posted a photo the other day. Hmmm, have to wait for some more new releases before an order is placed...

Thanks Don, the screw is fixed and it's not going to come our loose anytime soon. ;-D

I love the rubber clad,.. been pondering about buying one for ages....since the noob version. LOL .. but good call on waiting for a bit as I think JPM is not too far off from release (although I kinda have a feeling that JPM is not your cup of tea ;-p

 

[TheDonSL]

Yes def do not like the JPM, however Slaughter posted a beautiful pic of a white dial one that looks stunning, so I may have to get one to complete the collection after all !
