but reconsider ...
Hi Amaan,
The ideal way would be to wind it up by hand, let it run down, then repeat that a couple of times.
A new car also requires time for it to be carefully "worked in".
How many of us have the patience to do that with a watch? Not many - including myself - but it is still necessary.
You should check the setting on your winder for this particular caliber. II that is correct, an abrupt start after days of inactivity could knock something out of adjustment.
I do share your frustration but would bite my tongue before using the word "disgusted".
Statistically seen, nearly all the failures on my own watches are related to crown/winding issues, whether they are automatic or not.
A friendly suggestion is to comply with at least one of the guidelines on our Forum which is not to complain about performance - service - waiting time without having a grievance that is so serious that it should be aired openly.
Hoping that the situation will resolve itself to your advantage,
amerix
5167a Let down
Hi All, I just pick up my 5167A last month from my local AD. I used it once and then placed it on my winder. On my last trip abroad i forgot to switch my winder on and of course when i got back my watches had stopped. As i wound the brand new 5167 the cro...
Just be patient...
Gauss bell distribution is applicable to watchmaking as well; there will be watches outside the specification despite the quality checks done. In my case I sent my Cartier (under guarantee) for servicing because the chronograph hand didn't jump to 0. I re...
Thank You
Thank you for the kind calming words. Its just the frustration of a defect in a brand new watch from PP. If it was an inferior brand and i had not spent an insignificant amour of money, perhaps my frustrations would be less intense. Kind Regards Jo

Sorry for the crazy typography
Not my fault, but because I had to copy, turn on "cookies", repaste and send it again.
Thanks, Magnus, for helping to restore my text!
I feel uncomfortable with "cookies" and certain self-installing "caches" on my computer. If they only came from PuristSPro, that would be fine - but the data gets passed on to other "say" organizations, regardless of the settings or filters on my browser....
Watch Fault
HI, Thanks for your views that i appreciate. Perhaps i was not clear with the defect. The Crown when extended has lateral movement that even the AD has admitted is NOT normal. I checked this against another similar piece that they had in store. So the wor...

you should give them a chance to find out what was going on as there are just too many different possibilities what happened or what was wrong. It is to early to blame anyone or anything, without further details. Wish you lots of patience and a positive o...

Thanks for your view. Thats what i have done. The watch is back with the AD for an investigation and repair. I just wanted to share the experience that i had. I collect different brands and movements so i accept that some latitude must be accorded to "han...
