My first Full Moon!
I bought this 5970p in January and it sat in my safe waiting for a special occasion for me to break the seal. After reading the post last weekend on the pitfalls of keeping a watch sealed, I decided to open up the 5970p to enjoy it and rid myself of the a...
Isn't it better unsealed?
An impressive Perpetual Chrono, with this black face. Enjoy it without fear, now! Best, Nicolas
It sure is more impressive unsealed, Nicolas!
The sparkle of the shiny platinum case and markers is really fabulous and cannot be captured through the cloudy thick plastic wrapper! It took a while for me to open this watch up but I am happy to be wearing it now.
There is NO reason to keep watches sealed
I always give the watch that I buy a thorough inspection with the AD's lupe in terms of dust and finish. Than I check the machanics of the watch. To keep a watch sealed over the waranty time can be a costly idea. Mostly the thinking behind this ( AND I DO...
One FANTASTIC WATCH!
Congratulations on so many different levels... First, Congratulations you were able to acquire the 5970P, they're not easy to get! Second, Congratulations you finally broke the seal of your watch.
Congrats Wilson...
Gee January??? That's much too long to have waited...Glad you broke the seal and have it on your wrist. Enjoy! -- Richard.
Where is the best place for a watch?................
In a safe......NO At a service centre.......NO On your wrist....... YES! Congratulations, on getting pass the first two obstacles. It's a great looking Patek and one of my favourites, so enjoy the privilege & fortune of wearing it.
Thank you for all your moral support and unanmious thoughts on my decision!
You are all a great group of collectors!
Nice to see it on your wrist....When are you going swimming in it?? :)
Perfectly safe to swim in.............. Again big congrats on what I think is one of the best modern watches available......If only it had a MR that would make it the best Miles.
You are braver than me Miles!
It will take me some time to buildup my courage to swim with my 5970. In my mind I know the watch will be ok in water, but what about the leather/croc band?
No big deal.......I
I always order a replacement croc strap with every Patek I buy one to wear and use (inc swimming) and one to keep unused..... M.
Great looking piece....
Congratulation!!!! The black dial 5970P i s as modern and beautiful as what this masterpiece can look. Sporty and elegant too. Enjoy it to your fullest, I'm enjoying my 5970G too *CL
What is an acceptable variation in accuracy for the 5970???
I have been wearing my 5970p now for 20 days and am winding it every day at approximately the same time. My watch, thus far, is running 90 seconds+ fast over the last 20 days. Is this acceptable or should I take it into Patek for adjustment?
Doesn't seem bad
Hi, I think it's not bad and anyway as it's a new watch you should wait a little more to see how it setttles! 90 seconds in 20 days is not bad but not excellent either! But what was the evolution during 20 days? If I were you I would keep wear it for 20 m...
I think the watch is getting faster as more days go by!
Today marks the 21st day and I think it is now 2 minutes faster. I will take your advice and continue to monitor the watch for another 20 days.
