Time in service
How long did the service take for the rotor? I usually get simple time only watches but have started collecting chrono. I just had my Patek annual chrono and legend of Arnold roo serviced. Each took 3 months for service. This jumbo is a dream of mine but I didn't know that movement is delicate.
Question on AP Jumbo Reliability
Hi, I read in a post here that many are having problems with the 2120 movement, is this true? Since, It is only a time only movement with no second hand, what is the reason for sending it back for service? Is the time off by 5 minutes or more? Or does it ...
My RO Anniversary and QP
had both the same problem: the automatic winding was/is not working. I bought both watches new and the problems appeared in weeks. The standard 1502 was serviced, it worked only a couple of days and the same problem appeared again within days. Then it was...
Did you use a winder?
Hi, There is a suggestion in a post below that the winder cost the problem. Just want to know if you used a winder? I know that even you used a winder, the watch must not have any difficulties. It is out of curiosity that i am asking. Many thanks.
The perpetual is delivered with an AP branded winder.
Yes, I use it. I mostly use different winders made by Scatola del Tempo. But the winder is not the problem. The watch is also stopping when having it on the wrist. Best, Kari
Some issues with the date
Hello, I also have the jumbo anniversary and in addition to the problems described above by Kari, the date sometimes does not change by itself. You have to manually move the crown of the watch in order to do it. When I first reported this issue to AP they...
Mine has been utterly perfect, as so many others have also experienced.
You no doubt have read about Dr. Kol's horrible experiences with AP, and the other guy who just made his very first post here saying the same. I have read of a few other problems too. But there are countless satisfied owners. For me, it has been the most ...
Thanks
Nice to hear good experiences in owning a jumbo. I really want one, hopefully I do not get a lemon when I get a chance.

I had the Royal oak Perpetual calendar ( base 2120 + PC module) . Zero Problems in 7 years Best Regards
I also had the same rotor problem.
Straight out of the factory! Meaning no quality control was applied otherwise they would have noticed it right away. You start to wonder if the same person worked on all of these rotors?? Now the movement is invented by JLC long time ago and has been in u...

Within 2 months
I guess it helped that it was repaired here in Amsterdam. There is a big AP service center here.
I have known, owned, and regularly used watches based on the cal. 2120 since 1976.
Hi, Francis, I have owned and regularly worn watches using the 2120, 2121, and various complications built on top of the famous caliber, since 1976. I have never experienced any problems with any of my timepieces - they have been highly reliable, robust, ...
Love the movement
The real reason I am interested in getting a jumbo is because of the movement. The previous jumbo and other models with the same movement did not interest me. This current jumbo really speaks to me. However, it is very hard to acquire through normal chann...
You shouldn't get depressed. Things break down.
People make mistakes. Also at AP. Apparently there have been some quality control problems (albeit technical and/or communicative), but I\'m sure AP will have looked into these things. It\'s a lovely watch!
