To be Honest,
I think all of the points that Jim is making are very fair. Obviously any one on this website is a horophile, and for this thread specifically, a Patekophile (?), so no one means any harm. However, I do agree that after paying 100k for a watch, I would want to be treated in an appropriate way and not have to wait a full YEAR for it to be serviced...
Honestly, how many people can there be in the world with these watches? Our sample size is skewed because of this website, but I for one have seen MAYBE one or two Pateks in the wild...
Some things are worth waiting for!
We often read on the forums on how long collectors have to wait to get their beloved Patek Philippe back from service. Last year around this time, I too was somewhat anxious in sending my treasured 3971 on its long journey back to Geneva where it was conc...
I am also waiting: for the day when I can afford such a piece!
I fear it will be perpetual ... But many, many thanks for some pictures of your precious. Enjoy it and wear it in best health. Regards Moritz
Veery happy for you, René.
I too would be very excited to be able to put such a magnifient watch on my wrist. Maty you enjoy it at the maximum of pleasure. All the best. Nicolas.
You have a real aclassic
I've always loved the 3970/3971 series. I feel they are equal to the already classic 5970. Enjoy yours in good health. Here's a photo of a 3970J and a 3970R for you viewing....
rene , greetings from auckland mate
stunning watch and well worth the wait in my eyes. By the way i was talking to a Louis Vuitton chap here the other day about that new spinning watch of theres and your name came up in conversation , bugger just can't recall his name at the moment. Did you...
Thanks
No I kept the 5712 as I gave it away once before. One learns from their past mistakes. Regards Rene...
I love this feeling...
When you get it back, it is like you discover it for the first time ! Enjoy it Rene! Fx
What great fun...
opening the box after the long wait, it's like being a kid all over again. Except this time, the presents are a lot better! I just got my 5135 back after about 3 months (came back in a full size PP bag, btw) and what a great feeling - even for a "lesser" ...
This is an example of a terrible after-sales PP customer service.
I waited for some time to see the reaction of this community to this thread. But I must state that I am very shocked by the responses. First of all how can PP have the audacity to keep your watch for 12 months to repair/service?? This clearly shows PP has...
Please... No personal attacks on this forum.
You continue to disappoint me by your intolerance of criticism of PP. If you cannot handle criticisms of the PP brand, why do you continue as a moderator? Moderator, moderates.. I tried to be as constructively critical of a brand I like - what is wrong wi...

You are challenging industry standards, that's the point!
If you want to discuss standards, discuss standards, but that's not fair neither efficient to limit them to Patek Philippe. By the way, I've never deleted criticism, and of course tolerate it especially as long as it's written in a respective way and idea...
It showes actually how many watches are out there ...
Certainly, if so many people send theire pieces to Geneva, they should have a problem servicing them. And I am refering to complicated pieces, mostly. There are also service centres of Patek as we all know, but I am not sure if I would send a grande comp ...
