Patek Philippe

I actually never take notice of how accurate my pcs, have seen a few post (the latest one by CL)

Here is my observation in picture essay of my 5396R compare to Greenwich Mean Time

on Monday


Tuesday


Wednesday


Thursday


Friday


so looks like it is 18 seconds faster on Friday or average 3,6 sec faster/day, is this normal or I have to send it back to readjust or just leave with it ?

I am thinking of doing the check again when I take it out from SDB (as it is now on the winder since Fri after the above pix))



thanks for your thought and comment

Hello,

according to Mr. Stern's interview in the German magazine any Patek can be brought back to them - even after the warranty time - to adjust according PP standard. PP standard is -3 / +2 sek per day.

 

To be regulated, but to me 3 1/2 seconds is good going.

I would wait until either until the timing gets worse or the watch becomes due for a service.

After all the thought of having to send the watch to a service centre for a number for weeks, to me is quite a daunting prospect.

Hi,

It doesn't seem bad even if it could be better!

I would not send it back .

I would get it regulated only if you can go to a service center and they can do it immediately.

Cheers

Hi,

I think this is a very good result and does not matter at all - considering it is on a winder.

Try it on your wrist and you may get a different result due to the different temperature and different positions considering day and night  (I assume you wear it over night??).

I have a PP from 1963 which gains about 20 sec a day when it sits on my desk with face up - when I wear it day AND night it is within 1 sec. a day....

I would not send it for service and wait for months just for the small difference...

just my 2 cents
