Audemars Piguet

My 1 yr old AP watch went dead twice within a week. Very disappointed with the brand. Don expect such prestigious watch to stop moving twice in a week.

You should talk to the service manager..bang table..ask them for replacement.  You are not buying casio or seiko, you bought an AP watch..you should deserve better

...to take it to your local authorized dealer and have it sent in for service.  AP can diagnose the issue and advise on the options for fixing the watch if there is a mechanical problem.  It is indeed disappointing when a new watch doesn't live up to expectations, but I don't think your experience is typical of Audemars Piguet, based on my ownership of the same watch and the experiences of several people I know. 

I hope your issue is resolved and you can go back to enjoying the timepiece.  I personally like my 15300 very much.

Thank u but personally I very disappointed and even wanted to buy the AP Chrono. As for now, no more AP.

If we abandoned everything that didn't go perfectly we would live in a hermetically sealed cave. Accept that this could have happened to any mechanical watch and move on. Get the problem fixed by the AD, get it back in perfect condition, and enjoy the watch.

to remedy the situation.  Granted, we all hope that we never experience problems with fine watches, cars, boats etc. However, I always think the way to truly measure a great company is the manner in which they resolve a problem and how they treat the customer when a problem is brought to their attention. 

I hope you contact AP to find out how they will handle the situation rather than giving up on them without giving them an opportunity to make things right.

Best regards,

If so, that means you aren't mobile enough where the automatic rotor can spin freely so it winds up the power reserve.  And that there's nothing wrong with your AP.

did you accidently drop the watch ?  or did you knock it somewhere ?

Is it fully wound up and getting enough wrist time ?

you must remember there could be a number of reasons for this but let me say this all watches have there problems from time to time just like cars Ferrari Porsche etc, the key thing is HOW AP responds and seeing the way they treat there customers tells me your issue will be resolved and you will get your watch back quickly, dont dismiss a brand over a minor thing, its the way they react that is also important Goodluck with it.

the AP 15300 black dial as my first AP and came across this posting while doing some search.  Now I have to find out more on the reliability of its movement and if it is worth the value. 

If you counted the number of satisfied 15300 owners on this site alone vs. those who have had problems you might arrive at a truer perspective.

A few people post great pictures and are real ambassadors for the brand and model, a very small view complain publicly about how one failure will cause them to never buy the brand again, and the vast majority who enjoying their 15300's, and have little to complain about who go along with the show. Most of us also know what AP and it's AD's are there to take care of what does go wrong and fix it in a professional manner.

You can believe the noisy naysayers or ask the majority here whether they have had problems and if so how they were resolved.

Yes I understand but if u spent so much on a watch n it gives u problem after a yr, will u trust the brand. For me is no no. If it is some cheap watch, I son bother.

It's a hand made mechanic device of considerable complexity. From time to time things go wrong and the manufacturer fixes them. If you don't like that then the best solution is a quartz watch where only the battery fails every so often.

Yup but I have a tag watch for 4 yrs n I pay 1800 n still working vs 13000+ for ap n spoil after a yr +??? will u be super disappointed?

And be happy with your TAG - no shame in that.

I don mind if can sell gd price. U want to buy?

It's a keeper. And I know AP will take care of me whatever happens.

in a short while to have a close look at this AP 15300 and possibly the 15202.

A Great New Year to All.

Can you tell the serial number. I have a 15300 and have had few problems with it (I can detail you all of them if you want).
Mine is from the F serie.
