I agree. You should stop doing that.

Texex91, why all the frustration. Chill, have a pill, life is too short. Unless Patek was founded by your grand grand father, just relax, and enjoy your watches. For some people who don't have a collection, having to wait half a year to get their watch back can be pretty frustrating.
Of course no watch is perfect, but when a "defect" (or whatever we call it) shows up, the logical reaction to get pissed off, especially at that price point and for such a piece.
Cheers all have a nice day.

I'm sure it was tested for weeks - but again, it's a mechanical device and it can underperform/fail at any given time. Even with their limited production every manufacture will have issues....even Patek.

For the OP's watch, it seems to be worked out for the best and it's working fine.

BTW - looks like you have some pretty nice pieces in your collection!

Knock on wood, the calendar is working perfectly now, and the watch is keeping excellent time to boot! Thx! 🍻
