I've had the 15300 (H-series) for approximately 1 year, the watch was running and keeping time without an issue. It has been out of my watch rotation for about 2 weeks. Today I picked it up and put it on my wrist to give it some movement, which usually starts it without ease. But I recognized the watch would not run, so I started to manual wind it about 20-30 turns. Still no movement of the "balance".

I decided to pull the crown to time adjusting position and adjust the time. When I pushed the crown back I realized the balance started to come to life. But after a couple of seconds it went to sleep again.

Guys I need your thoughts and advice on this issue.

Broken mainspring?

Either case, if the watch is only one year old, you can send to AP service center and they will take care of it.

I'm not sure its the case since there is some "stress feel" when turning the crown for manual winding. I was hoping its not other mechanical failure though.

Thanks for input bayerische

I was thinking of taking it to the AD soon. What worries me is the lack presence of the warranty card/receipt which I left abroad

Thanks s14roller

I heard there were some issues when it was first released but that they had been sorted out over time.

I had the SAME issue with my ROO.

It is at Clearwater getting fixed.

They aren't sharing what they are 'fixing' but will tell me once complete.

I'd suggest to send it in - tried mine out for a few days and wasn't keeping accurate time.

The same thing happened to me twice with a 15300. It seems that 3120 caliber has some issues... Very desappointed with it although is no nice...

leisen · 27 January 2014, 07:03 AM

I wanted to say "is so nice..."

It's a labor of love brand - 2 AP'a - both saw Clearwater within 6 months of ownership
