Some of you guys are speaking down to the OP as if its his fault.

Find another brand, PP isn't for You, etc..

Let's be clear, this is a hand made $50,000 watch. PP left the Geneva Seal years ago because they felt their own in house Quality Control was far higher. Now here we are with the simplest things getting past QC.

UNACCEPTABLE. The watch should be perfect when the customer opens that bag.
1. Because of the Price
2. Because of the reputation
3. Because of the extreme attention to detail that PP claims they have

Is the OP particular? Yes, he is and that is his right to not have an AD scratch his lugs, have nicked up markers, Exposed pins, over polished cases, etc..

If HE can see it then the guys who make thousands of watches a year should have seen it. They are MASS PRODUCING these pieces as quickly as they can without any concern for QC, detail or end product.

This has been an ongoing problem since 2009, around the time they abandoned the Geneva Seal and it hasn't gotten any better, it has gotten progressively worse.

Now, this is a PP forum and filled with PP fanboys and fanatics. Those of you with perfect watches and no need for service haven't any idea how the others feel. When you have a problem and have owned 2,3,6 PP's only to have one horrific experience, I think you too will understand why people sell them all and move on. Until that day comes, enjoy your perfectly running PP.
