Jeez - you've bought a new PP from an AD right? Take it back to them and get the part/watch repaired/replaced. Easy.
More generally, I'm fascinated by how precious people are about their 5711s. This isn't a dress watch - it's meant to be a daily beater. Mine is scuffed, scratched and worn in the pool, the sea, wherever. That's the point....

I’m at a total loss why member’s like this reply to threads they don’t understand or wish to contribute to. Why don’t they sigh and move on to the next incoming thread?
I don’t recall asking the forum if I should return the watch or ask for a refund. As for precious, I’m surprised you never used the same old “it’s just a watch” line from the Rolex forum.
To be clear I wear all my watches including my dress watches and they all will be just as scratched as yours eventually, I just don’t go out of my way to scuff and beat them up unnecessarily, especially when new.
This is not a “please help me etc” thread. I started the thread as I thought other members would genuinely be interested to see and discuss the current build quality of modern steel PP, and to exchange thoughts on rust prevention on steel watches in general.This forum used to be a place where members shared experiences, idea’s and had discussions. Oh, I miss the pre-2017 days before the SS shortage.
I would have liked to provide an update to the forum once I had a reply from Patek Philippe and the AD, but as other members feel the same it would be best if the mods close this thread instead.
