Think about it logically, once you sold for a quick buck to a Grey dealer or whoever, you information is on the certificate and HE won't care and will post your cert everywhere everyday exposing YOU AND YOUR AD....... So before you DO something stupid think twice.

That's not how 99% of the grey dealers conduct their business I can see you haven't dealt with any of them before, which is all fair.

I agree with Patekaddict that flipping a hot watch can get an AD in to trouble. An AD in Bond street told to me that they had sold 5 Pateks including 3 Nautilus to a customer thinking he was a genuine watch enthusiast within a short time period. The customer had flipped all 3 Nautilus and they had to answer to the UK distributor.

Not in the UK, certificate either arrives preprinted or the AD fills it out on the spot when collecting.

Some people are legitimately idiots or probably never touched a patek certs..... Erase a name on cert ok lets use white out....... Also I realised the more people talk about all this nonsense just shows me who actually the flippers are.

All I tried to do was make a point by STOP PUTTING YOUR AD IN A BAD SITUATION. You in the end will get burned...
... The people that wait years for pieces are only because your AD does not trust you, it's simple......

Not my experience, only purchased 1 used Patek but have looked at quite a few, all that were with UK papers still had the first owners name and address.

I have been known to buy 1 or 2 and they all came with the original.pwners name. The address they dont fill on always and that's to protect privacy I guess

To answer the initial question: I am relatively new customer with my Patek AD in Switzerland and don’t know how long it will take but I was placed on the list for it. To be honest, I expect years and that is ok. I am not in a rush.

Thank you everyone for your compliments. The bracelet is the same as others and wears comfortable. The dial is the exact blue as 5711 and 5712.

Beautiful picture - excited to pick mine up next week. Agree as well, I put it next to a 5711 blue as well as a 5712 and although the one I saw at the Patek event in Singapore looked different, it is clearly the same blue as the others. The clasp is also the same construction (links are thicker and larger though).

Will "erasing" of owner's name constitute tampering of the original Cert? My AD will not sell a Patek without the naming of the owner. Always strictly enforced that rule.
