Please Do Not Get Me Wrong..

Hi,

I have no intention of critising all the pp fans in general or those who bought 5960/80 in particular.please do not get me wrong.I am a big fan of pp myself.I was over whelmed with thier down to earth effort,they sent me letter congratulating me,and even sent me magazine from time to time keeping me inform of their latest development.I praise them on their hard work though their are giant watch producer.
No to mention,their last year tremendous work on 5960,then the 30th annivesarry on Nautilus recreating 5712 and 5980.Lift it further,with the 5159 and etc this year,i definately kow tow the management and those in the design planning team.
My intention is just to alarm the manufactrer to be extra carefull.They are the top watch manufacturer,family heritage inherited generation.something like that should not went wrong,judging by faulty of majority.
As a big fan,i really hope to see pp glitter and pass on to generation just like thier advertisement.Address them that their fans have utmost sensetivity and concern over every tiny things they do.
I am sure every fan out there would like to see pp and their fans live happily ever after.....

From what I understand

By: David-S-W : May 2nd, 2007-08:44

A couple of 5980 were delivered and from that batch a couple came back for repair with stuck chronograph pushers. If you pushed the buttons dead on there was no problem but if you did it at an angle they got stuck... From my understanding we will begin to...

I had a problem with my 5960P.

By: bourgogneboy : May 2nd, 2007-10:04

Initially, it worked fine. However, one day, when I pushed the reset button, the second hand went to around the 55 second position, as opposed to the 12 o'clock position. The watch is now back in Geneva for repairs. My AD told me that mine was not the onl...

5960 decision

By: doublesix : May 3rd, 2007-20:40

So given the issue you had with the 5960, would you recommend buying one? I have a deposit with an AD for this watch but am weary that it is going to be a maintenance problem and be a watch that could be shunned by future collectors. I am not sure what to...

I do not regret having bought the 5960P

By: bourgogneboy : May 3rd, 2007-21:18

even though it has developed this problem. I'm sure Patek will be able to iron this out.

I agree...Patek will get it right

By: WatchFan1 : May 4th, 2007-21:06

Shamefulness........

Remember...

... the 3712 had initial problems too. As a result fewer people bought them, and I'm not sure if it's connected with the technical problems but its shelf life turned out to be quite short. Due to all that, the 3712 rose in value like a meteor. Judging by ...

Please sorry for my ignorance....

any owners who experienced this "problem"

By: hatcho_bori : May 5th, 2007-11:27

i got 5980 last November, which was a first batch i believe. it works perfectly except that chrono hand didn't come back to zero just once. this was reported in the other forum, "reset button doesn't work correctly if you push it softly..." but i never ex...

I was (and still am) very happy with my purchase of the 5960P

By: bourgogneboy : May 5th, 2007-14:17

In fact, I bought 4 PPs in the past year and the 5960P was one of my favourites, alongside a 5712R. However, a problem is a problem and I am just reporting and sharing my experience (and also what I was told by my AD). No question of my being unhappy with...

I do appreciate your report.

By: hatcho_bori : May 6th, 2007-15:29

and for me as well, 5960P is the most favorite patek so far, even after learning this failure report. concerning this, pls keep us informed, if there's any new info. TIA HB
