 By: Vilit : May 26th, 2009-01:00
Am I an unlucky person? :-( I bought 5980 in June last year. Wearing it for one week and then this sxxt happened. My AD sent it to fix in Singapore for two weeks. The watch came back fine, but nearly two weeks wearing this sxxt happened again. This time i...

There are few solutions a) if you love the piece very very much ask for third one as they say third time luck b) if you are sick with PP ask money back or c) new piece + big discount All the best Damian

Unbelievable....

... if ur love for Patek went down to Zero, in that case, try to get a refund, or sell it back, or jst trade it for something else. Simple... Even if its a gr8 watch, and this could to you with any other brand. I have a Lange timezone, that had the hands ... 

You have been very unlucky.

You should ask for a third watch from your AD and let PP "slowly" get their watches repaired provided always that you still like PP. Regards Ling

Perhaps the new Patek Seal really does stand for something entirely new: sloppy workmanship !

5980 doesn't suit you

I read about a similar story about a year ago... obviously a QC oversight. Good luck. So sorry to hear about it.

I was sorry to read your thread...........

I hope that you get things resolved one way or another and to your satisfaction soon.

I feel very sad for you, Vilit

Well, there are some watches you know you will meet problems with, like, for instance, the U.N Freak 1.O. While knowing that, you know you have ot be patient, in case of problem(s). But when you buy a watch from a Manufacture who claims Excellence as a Fi... 

I'm sorry for you!

Hi, I'm saddened by your story like everybody here! Just amazing! What is (still positively) surprising is that we don't hear so often such stories! It seems that there problems but not that many! Please let us informed about the following! Cheers Dje

Hi Vilit, forget the so called "sporty watches" from Patek - take a vintage one and you will be happy with Patek for the rest of your life   I have an "antimagnetic"  from the 60ies and it keeps time within one second per day! kind regards Erich

I am THEE unlucky one!!!
