Just to give an update. My AD says my watch needs a complete overhaul and they can do it for just less than 2k CAD. I ask them to send it to Patek and so I guess I'll see what Patek says - my AD says they will send it to Geneva. (My watch did show signs of slowing down).

Well the 5712 was slowing down just a touch. I see what the dealer says first. I contact Patek and basically they just said to talk to the dealer first. thanks everyone will keep you all posted Paul

Hello I brought my 5712 back to my AD for routine service since it's around 6 yr old. I was informed they may be able to service it locally instead of sending it back to patek.

Oliver After getting my 5712/1a I thought of getting an annual calendar. So it took me a few years to save up some money and I was quite content ordering the 5146. However, Patek had to put the 5960 complication in SS and lower their prices - all of which are leaving me to have seconds thoughts abou
