Beautiful! Glad it is back on your wrist!

I am having trouble remembering what the problem was. Could you refresh my memory? Thank you!

The chrono pusher at 2:00 started to get loose and was wobbling around and sticking out to far and I was worried it was going to fall off. Everything was working even with the loose pusher.

Glad it's back for you to enjoy

Patek did return my 5711 to me in 30 days after the dial blunder I had. That's probably much simpler than a movement service though.

Thanks! Interesting. I will keep an eye out for any issues with mine.

Again- glad it is back with you! Stunning piece if I might say so myself!

Awesome watch and glad its back on your wrist. Also glad to hear PP wait times are improving. I can deal with 2-3 months but 6+ is just not happening. I would be interested if others are experiencing shorter wait times as well.

100% certain they won't return regular priced watches as fast as big bucks ones unfortunately.

What makes you so certain? What's a regular priced watch?

Yes dial, not movement. 30 days for a dial blunder? Really? mm
By regular priced i meant more affordable watches.

Martin i believe Patek would give priority / more focus to more expensive watches in order to keep the big buyers satisfied, but again that's what i would do if i was limited in manpower, would make more sense to me

Sounds like the screw that holds the pusher was loose, that is a 10min fix. I'm glad they upped the speed but it's still to long for something like this IMO.

Now, enjoy that baby!

3 months wait for a 10 minute fix...not bad.
