Now that the mystery of the "missing screw" appears to be solved...
... that clicking sound remains to be solved I believe. I would go to my local AD and ask for an explanation. I assume the AD (or a friend of yours) would have another example of the same model for you to compare and make sure yours has a problem to be fixed. If yes your AD and LF should fix the problem with no delay once for good.
Am I missing something here?
I sent my watch back to Geneva, because of a clicking sound that I could hear when I would rotate my wrist. Apparently they exchanged the bridge and took care of the problem. At least that’s what they tell me. I still hear the clicking sound and when I tu...
So that's why the surgeon at our local hospital
only wears one shoe and his last patient complains about chronic stomach pain.
I agrée, if you feel something is incorrect
the best is not to keep the timepiece live.
+1...it appears to be omitted from other Classic Origin movements. Numerous online photos will confirm this.
Now if it's still clicking/rattling, then that's another issue...but it's not because of a missing screw from the noted hole.
Agree. This is not a missing screw.
See this photo from their website. laurentferrier.ch 41961889759394 ...
I am truly sorry to hear about this issue! stay strong 💪
I no longer have my Laurent Ferrier as I also faced some technical issues..
Wow!
I was like no way there is a screw missin.....HOLY SHASTA!!! That is totally unacceptable for a watch of this supposed caliber. I can't even. This 100% has put me off on the brand and they should take note as I would think others who may have been on the ...
D'oh!
Well I'll be... I truly thought it was missing. Anyone know why it's there (other to make us get the pitchforks out) ----€
If you’re referring to the empty slot in the 9’oclock position on this picture
Then there is no screw on this…see all pics on LF website - not sure if that is the issue.
OMG! So sorry to hear this sad story dear Tony. Unbelievable indeed they would miss this is possible not fix your problem. I am floored as I would not have expected this from this brand.
I really hope you get resolution soon and without too much pain! Good luck and keep us posted
Extremely annoying…
no platitudes or advice other than holding their feet to the fire. 🤷🏻♂️
See this photo.
It has the same empty spot where you thought the screw was missing, so I think that’s the way it’s supposed to be. I borrowed it from a seller’s website. Enter text ...
Not missing a screw
Mine was the same I don't recall any clicking moving my wrist. You have a LOT of watches, if you think it's not sounding right I trust you. Sadly the only watch I've sold as it didn't get any wrist time so can't meet and compare. - Kevin ...
Must feel disapointing to have an engine failure so soon on your LF.
Hope you get it fixed soon Tony.
Could you post a photo with the balance wheel stationary?
I agree a shoe would be way too much. A cufflink at most... I sympathise with your disappointment.
Your watch needs to be flawless
Such an expensive watch can not so bad. If i had your watch, it took not so long to send in service to Switzerland, cause i am living in Europe. But were are not living all in Europe. It is a shame LF did not repair your watch as it should be. A good reas...
Despite what others are saying, if you Google the watch, it isn't missing a screw...
But it shouldn't "rattle". ...
This thread makes me feel like *I* must have a screw loose!
That clearly looks like a forgotten screw... and yet comparison photos show that it clearly isn't... and yet I've stared at this movement many times before and never noticed that.
Most watches have a "button" or lever to press to release the stem, but most watches either hide it discretely and/or don't have display backs
Most often there's a small arrow and the word Push, alternatively a small tab pokes out from the side somewhere near the crown, but only when the crown is out one click ...
does this calibre have hacking stop to set time
check to see if you can hack the movement first. when pulling the crown out. if this calibre does hack then the wrist movement could be moving about inside the bridges the hacking lever which depending on how its designed may come dislodged-loose.
So it is fine, but
I think it needs some type of cap over the small hole for aesthetics.

Some explanations
Hello everyone, it's a shame to talk like that badly about what you don't understand. I participated in the conception of this movement. The winder is noisy and this is normal. It's to look like old pocket watches. There's no point in bringing him back fo...
Yep
I guess it is confirmed now that there is no missing screw. Went to the website and saw the casebacks of similar models and nothing is missing
