In love with Pro One... but minor issues
Hello,
I am new to this forum! Last year I virtually fell in love with the Pro One with orange markers. The case, the dial and - last but not least - the strap are just breathtaking! As I am still a student had to look out for a good second-hand watch and found one. It arrived today. Here is a very quick picture:

I am very happy with the watch! And I reckon that the orange colour even matches my skin somehow! ;-)
However, I have encountered some minor issues, maybe someone can give me some input?
1) The orange lume on the indixes, the hands and the bezel seems to be different: the lume on the hands is solid orange, the lume on the indixes a rather light orange/yellow and the lume on the bezel a true yellow. The watch is three years old.
2) If I turn the crown to wind the watch I cannot hear any sound. So I am not really sure whether the winding works.
3) The bezel seems to be rather loose: I can lift it up (not: off) a fraction of a millimetre.
4) When I push in the crown after setting the time the minute hands usually jumps forward (that is why I did not post a pic with a "smiling" watch.
Your input is highly appreciated!

Some Answers For You

Hopefully I can help you out, at least a little! I have owned the Pro One four times (don't ask!!) and currently own the same version as yours. Plus, I own other watches with LUC movements. First, here is a post of my Pro One which you can compare to your...

The Pro-One was also my introduction to the Chopard LUC series. I have it now for 3 or 4 years and I still like it very much. Yes we all know about the loose bezel, but mine is pritty tight now (only if I put my hand in the pocket, it might shift a notch)...

On the rate issue. Most likely your watch is at least 3 years old, probably older and in need of a service. If fully winding the watch doesn't help I suggest you send it in. Chopard will probably install the later improved tighter bezel at that time. Than...
