New AP 26240 with 4401 Super Clone movement is coming

[Autobús]

For what it’s worth I recently got home and inspected my CE with a loupe. No visible cracks. Wore it for another 2 days w/o issue. It has been worn a rather high amount since receipt on Dec 26th.

It appears I may have been one of the lucky ones. I will update if things turn sour.

Just received my QC pics, and I noticed two issues I would like to share and ask for your comments. Firstly, the bezel screws at 10, 11 and 1 seem to be misaligned/crooked, and secondly, it looks like there are some scratches, especially right next to the crown. Any advice is highly appreciated.

Update: PT has considered the watch as defective, so I am getting a new one, however after CNY of course.

Lucky you. Mine was in crumbles as soon as I removed the protective tape on the braclet. Bits of the ceramic was stuck on the tape. Luckily TD accepted return of the whole watch. Fingers crossed the new version after CNY is worth the wait.

16cm mate

16cm mate

That´s almost unbelievable with a lug to lug length of 51.5mm.
The 15202 has ~ 49.0 mm, same with the 16202.
That gives me hope for my 16,5/17,0 wrist.
But as we all know it´s not only about the circumference but also the curvature of the wrist.
For a small cirumference one needs a flat wrist for a large lug-to-lug.

I think it's the protective sticker on the bezel amplifying it lol

I didn't know screws on the backside of AP were meant to be aligned? Thought they were random

You are right, they are not meant to be aligned, it is random. It is almost impossible to get them all to line up.

 

[germanynrw]

No guys, the back screws are never aligned. The screws look used, as if a screwdriver that was too small had been used.
