Ρολογαρα πάντως

I love the RO, but like you, I'm finding it hard to pull the trigger. The design is great,
but other stuff (QC with the movements, durability concerns) are giving me pause. I want a 37mm RO in blue,
but I also want a bomb-proof, accurate daily wearer that I can largely forget about, and it will do it's job. Like a higher-end alternative to, say, a Rolex Explorer. I'm on the fence as to whether that's the RO or not
.....they had a lot of QC problems with their movements.
That said, being ostensibly the three best manufacturers in the world (debates for who really deserves to be considered Holy Trinity aside), one would expect the watches to at least meet COSC standards, if not beat them. Both Rolex and Omega now exceed COSC specs (despite the fact they are still certified), so one would damn well expect an Audemar Piguet to run with similar accuracy.
Of the "Holy Trinity" only Vacheron Constantin submits watches to the COSC. Patek has it's own inhouse accuracy standards, and AP (as far as I know) does not directly address the issue, at least publicly.
FROM AP WEBSITE: The adjustment performed in horizontal and vertical positions (5 in all) enables Audemars Piguet to guarantee a daily variation in rate of the watch of between –3 and +12 seconds per day when it is worn on the wrist.
Moreover, an index or inertia-block regulating system enables further fine-tuning of this result according to the indications provided by the wearer. In such a way one can regularly achieve a rating precision of less than +10 seconds a day, meaning a maximum gain of 5 minutes per month
I believe AP watch movements are not COSC certified, they have their own standards.
You could send your watch for regulation at the end of the third year just before warranty expires. AP will regulate your watch and pressure test it.
It all started to make sense: huge numbers of offshores close to the end of their warranties flooding the secondary market, boutique salesmen explicitly telling customers to avoid offshore models and stick to the 3 hander RO. Plus my bad experiences with all 3 of my APs.
Ατυχώς, είχαν ( ...έχουν ? ) ποιοτικά προβλήματα, και φεύγανε γρήγορα στην δευτερογενή αγορά, μόλις έληγε η εγγύησή τους.
Συν ότι είναι η μόνη από τις 3, που δεν αναφέρεται σε χρονομετρίες, κλπ, σε αντίθεση κσι με τον Βασερον, που πάει σε ανεξέρτητους κριτές, και την ΡΡ, που έχει αυστηρά δικά της στάνταρντς.
Στις τιμές αυτές, περιμένεις να είναι καλύτερα από το απλό COSC.
