Help for patek 5980
Hello everyone I'm new and I need help. I had bad story I want to tell and have your opinion. I wanted to buy patek 5980. Clock used. Shop with Patek Italian concession.
Well look I do watch and try and fly back chronograph. The shopkeeper tells me to look 'cause he was always afraid to do this operation. why watch can 'break! I remain stunned.
I try and once you know that the second hand does not return a perfect 12 hours. I try again and it works then I leave aside and look at the total clock. Shopkeeper tells me that he hopes that it is all and that the maximum change with a new one with the difference money. I take clock go away. taxy load fine watch and try and fly back chrono functions.
Amazing! Disappointment! Angry! The seconds hand did not return for 12 hours. Both with Auto Start Stop function that chrono fly back!
I call immediately shopkeeper who says to me, but are you sure that there is fly back on 5980! wanted to be clever? tells me to go to him by his coach, but I can not be present?
arrival tells me that we go technician then takes me to his office I laugh money! 5 minutes later he calls me famous engineer who tells me that I'm not able shiacciare good chrono buttons and fly back!
let it be my anger and other sellers so why should not exist! I then sent the message telling me that he was sorry not to know who was present flyback function!
but its perfect watch as his coach says Patek very professional! another joke not to use other words. I'm not sure that this seller will see ever again but apart from this ugly story What do you think of this defect? I read that some models had recognized patek 5980 issue of regulation of the keys. could someone help me understand better level technique.
thanks and sorry for my english

How I understand the case...
is that Jaacob bought a used Patek 5980 Chronograph either from a Patek AD or from another watch shop. The watch in question seem to have a issue with the correct return-to-zero/flyback function of the chronograph hands. It appears to me that it sometime ...
