2nd generation Linesport OCTAs

Mar 12, 2022,09:23 AM
 








Had a few questions about this model to my fellow FPJ Linesport enthusiasts.  

1) Are you supposed to hear a clicking sound when manually winding the crown?
2) Why does the brochure booklet instruct you to turn the crown anti clockwise when ii should be turned clockwise? 
3) I thought this model was discontinued in 2018 but the stamping is 2020. Did they continue to make this model through 2020 while making the 3rd generation model?

Thank you in advance for your kind feedback

The drawing at the bottom for manual wind is clockwise.

Perhaps there was a copy and paste error from setting the date instruction 😁

Nice catch !

1. Do you mean a very light clicking sound with each gradation, a bit like turning the bezel of a sub but softer? If so mine has that, it’s very faint and i like to put it to me ear to listen. If it’s a loud click then sounds wrong. 2. I noticed this too ... 

No click

...when delivered new. The boutique sent it back and the clicking was gone after it was returned. The winding has been butter smooth since then. As to my newer ARS, winding has always been silent and smooth. ...
