Oddly this is the exact watch I just inherited and I thought it was broken haha. Looking to sell mine so out of curiosity how much is yours worth??
It’s the 50th anniversary AP costs around £90,000
What is the exact model name of the AP watch? And about how much it costs new? Please let me know
Thanks 👍❤ 🇩🇰 😀
Thanks brooo
You're welcome!
Do you turn the distributor counterclockwise to adjust the time advance forward on the AP watch? When I turn the distributor clockwise on my AP, the time go backwards. Thank you
Clockwise -> the hands go backwards & anticlockwise -> the hands go forward.
My watch sale
thanks
Merci bcq
Thanks 4 the Help!!! : )
Hey dude, nice video! I recently bought an 26331 Panda, and I noticed in your video too, that the second-subdial is not stopping when your adjusting the hour&minute hand. I have the same case. Do you know why? Maybe because the Movement has too much power loaded? I've never had this case with any of my rolexes.
This feature is called 'hacking seconds' and allows you to set the time perfectly to the nearest seconds. As far as I'm aware, the AP chronograph movements doesn't have this feature.
@@TheWatchCEO Thanks a lot man! Figured it out. Was just wondering because I have a Offshore 44mm Chrono with the 3126 Movement and it worked really well. But all good!
@@myphat1936 Nothing to worry about! Enjoy your watches! :)
What if you lost power. I have watch that wasn’t use over year (ap) it was past on to me . Just want use to enjoy . Thank you help
Most watches would still run fine.
Wind it it first and see whether the seconds hand moves. If not, just have it serviced and enjoy it for years
How much is this watch? I found a watch similar to this version, but the frame has stones on it, and I don’t know if these are diamonds or not.
So on the AP, mine does not make the noise when I wind it anymore. It’s been a year I don’t wear lol
Could be the case of you just not hearing the noise.
my dial to adjust the time and date is stuck and i can’t turn, pull it or pull it. seems like it’s pushed in all way but have never noticed it. any advice? really appreciated
Maybe the crown is fully screwed in? Did you try unscrewing it?
@@TheWatchCEO not quite sure how to unscrew it but it definitely is tight to the watch and unmovable. is it possible it’s broken or something?
@@mitchellhawes8896 I think that’s because it’s fully screwed. You just have to unscrew it manually by turning anti-clockwise (main crown).
My middle hand is not working and the top pusher is not coming our after unscrewing it. Wat to do now?
The watch might need a service.
@@TheWatchCEO ohk thank you. ❤
I let it started, after 30-40 minutes the big arrow stops, returns to 12? Problem?
In order to use the chronograph function, you need to wind the watch manually quite a few times. The function itself needs a lot of power in order to keep running.
My question is what will happened after February 28 date on any watch?
It will go to the 29th, as it’s not a perpetual calendar. So this one you’ll have to adjust by yourself to show the 1st.
@@TheWatchCEO ok thanks
My watch just recently started only running for maybe 5 min then stops?
Before you send it for a watchmaker's inspection, make sure the watch gets enough power to run throughout the day. First thing is to wind the watch 30-40 times, using the crown and then give it a little twist. Majority of watches are automatic, so the winding rotor would keep the watch 'charged', however, occasionally, you still need to wind it with the crown. If that doesn't help, it might be a case of a faulty or loose part inside the movement.
Seen Through Wrist thanks I tried it at 40 windings, it still stops after a min or so. I will try again and wear it immediately and see
Larry Tinnin give it 24 hours. Fully wind and set the right time. Hope it’s nothing serious with the watch! Keep well!
Seen Through Wrist hey, I have not touched it but I see that it stops and stops on it’s own, it has accumulated 4-5 hours since it stop through the night. little background (may not matter) it’s a rose gold royal oak offshore, purchased new little less than two years ago (which maybe under warranty), I also have the AP elephant purchased new same time-ish with no issues, more or less same watch, one rose gold other stainless. I will leave the rose gold alone for another day or two, however do you think I should occasionally pick up and rotate the watch once or twice?
@@larrytinnin3357 It seems that there might be an issue with the movement of your Offshore. Despite, these watches are heavy hitters, the movements are quite fragile. Best if you get in touch with AP and leave a note saying the watch doesn't function correctly. After the lockdown is over, you can take it to AP and they will fix it under warranty. All watches, even new ones, are like classic cars with plenty of different moving parts. Some might be loose and hence affect the accuracy of your watch. In the mean time, you can do as you suggested, however these watches should run regardless, provided that fully wound. The average power reserve in watches of major luxury brands range between 24-72 hours.
So the “seconds hand” isn’t really a seconds hand? It’s just for timing?
In this case, your seconds hand is the one in the subdials. The main one is just a timer. You can still use it as your seconds hand if you leave the chrono running, but it’s not recommended. More wear to the watch and the power drains much faster
@@TheWatchCEO that’s such a weird design… do you know why they made it like that? Like why the seconds hand is a timer and the seconds function is on one of the chrono dials?
@@Stingraypress it’s just how chronograph function was designed in watches. You can always opt in for a classic Royal Oak without chronograph function. It’s all personal preference
@@TheWatchCEO oh so every chronograph (not just this watch) has the seconds hand as part of the stop watch function? Sorry I’m new to the watch world!
@@Stingraypress that’s correct! Haha, it might be a little bit confusing, as it was confusing to me when I was starting out. It’s something you’ll have to get used to. Chronograph is a brilliant complication.
After setting all the things my bigger seconds sticks not working
The big hand at 12 o'clock is your chrono hand. You can activate it by pressing the top right pusher.
Can't get my crown back in what is the way?
First, make sure that you are in winding position and not in date or time setting (so push the crown all the way in and you should hear a subtle click or two). In most cases when it's hard to get the screw back in place, it's because of some dirt or polishing compound just where the crown goes to the case. However, push the crown firmly, whilst screwing it back steadily clockwise.
Thanks so much for taking time to reply! :) I allready figured it out by the help of internet! Have a good day
Seen Through Wrist thank you for the answer, and @A New Stacker thank you for the question!!
How to stop chronograph
You press the top chronograph pusher again to stop it.
Valor x favor
I’m not sure about this AP… i think it’s fake… normally, if you adjust the time, the left dial has to move with the time. So if you set the time on 6 o’clock, then the left dial will be on 3, and if you set the time on 12 o’clock at noon, the left dial will be set at 6, so you can see if it’s am or pm! And this one didn’t move…
I’m not sure if I understand your logic. This AP is a chronograph. The time doesn’t move on the sub-dials, unless the chronograph is activated. You can’t set the time on sub-dials.
That sounds like a 24 hour subdial, don't think there's anything like that on any ap complication, neither moonphase nor perpetual calendar. Tho it is popular on fake watches with cheap movements so maybe you were the one who was looking at cheap fakes trying to imitate chronographs.
Hands not moving
All hands ?
C'est pas une montre d'enfant, ou de casos.
Thank you
