I have a 5001 I received not too long ago, keeps great time but has a really bad stuttering from 12 to 6 position of the second hand. Do you guys know if this is something fixable by a watchsmith? or is it just something I have to deal with or send it back to china for?
I'd have a watchsmith look after it, if you send it back it may take ages to get it back, not to mention the additional customs risk.

Thanks! And bet your life I'm headed Orloff's way with a pic of that brown strap he made for you in hand

I see I've inspired lots of people on here to croc up their 5001's!
Glad I found this forum, at least I now know my watch obsession is not unique. Its shares by thousands more [emoji3]
I did the same, emailed him your picture and asked for one too.
Did you need to give him any other details, eg length etc ?
Ideally could you pm over the order you sent to him?
Just got my QC pics today (5001 ardoise dial) - Accepted, waiting on delivery now
I have a 7.5" wrist, so my straps are a little longer than "regular"
You are best to get your watch first to try on and then send him the lengths required.
The main details he needs is 22/18, which I'm sure he knows and the lengths for your wrist.
From my memory, I'm sure the regular length for deployment is 55/135 mm
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I think I order mine as 55/150 mm for XL length.
