You see what happens with internet service providers when everybody is calling in. The numbers skyrocket.

The service times on Patek, depending upon the complications is out in the months range. Four to six months is probably around average so don't look for your watch anytime this year. Even the QC after the watch is finished it is another 2 to 3 weeks to be sure the watch is functioning properly.

If you can survive that time then you will get the watch back. If not, you should return it through your AD and get on with your life.
I can't say I agree with what you're saying.
Patek made the watch, not my dealer. So it's up to Patek to make it right. It is the choice of the client of who I wish to deal directly with...

If Patek didn't want to deal with the public, then they wouldn't allow me to work with them, they would refer me to my AD... But they didn't, so obviously they are set up to deal with the public, they are just not very good at it...
