Will The IsoSpring Steal Away The Tick-Tick-Tick Of Your Wrist Watch?
It seems that 2014 is the year of announcements for revolutionizing the wrist watch as we know it. Some of these claims will take time to prove (read: smartwatches), but others do seem to be truly reinventing bits and pieces of the movements that make up the mechanical wonders that we know and love. We brought you word of the first change here?(with the Genequand system concerning?the balance wheel), and today we have word of a replacement for the venerable escapement �C the IsoSpring.As you may likely?be aware, the ticking noise you hear your watch making comes from the interaction of the escapement, more specifically, the repeated contact between the pallet fork and the escape wheel. Every time the balance wheel changes direction, the whole thing comes to a (temporary) stop, and then starts back up again once the balance wheel is in motion. Obviously, this stopping and starting is not the most efficient use of the energy stored in the barrel.One estimate of the best efficiency we see

Anyone experienced this before??
Anywone experienced this before?? i tried to remove the watch bands links/ pins or screw tubes (whatever you want to call) to switch to a set of aftermarket leather straps i bought recently, but then one of the links was really tight to get it off, & when i finally got that out, i realized that the threads came out with it; so i called the dealer where i bought the watch from yesterday, & the sales told me that AP will not cover this under warranty because clients are not suppose to repair/ service their own watches, only auth. service center from AP can! so my questions is, does it happen often? does anyone know ap install the watch bands tubes with loctite or some sort of glues to secure the thread for backing out?& since they told me i cannot get my 2 weeks old diver warranty under this issue, which means i have to buy a set of new tubes from them, does anyone know how much it will cost? & do i have to buy the whole new set of plots as well? also i have small wrists,

Hello aquanaut
Well I caved. Here is my 5167A courtesy of George at govberg. Thanks to ken for the help and of course George for the excellent service. Better pics will come in due time : )

How does 5167 look on a larger wrist...7 3/4"?
I had the next watch purchase narrowed to an AP ROO Black Theme or a Patek Philippe 5167A-001. Thanks to all of the PP enablers' pics, I'm 99% certain that 5167 is the right choice. Unfortunately, my AD doesn't have any 5167s in stock to try on. I do have a slightly larger 7 3/4 wrist. Anyone with similar size wrist that can share your experience and wrist shot pics?Thank you.
