Not my regular AD has me on a list. I'm number seven of twenty five that asked for one. So if he gets six I'm out of luck.

I hope you get one my friend as you have a great collection and are certainly deserving.

Did anybody hear yet when they might start delivering? Hate the wait....

Socal to az · 30 July 2017, 01:53 AM

No word from AD on delivery. I'm predicting later fall early winter.

Thanks, agree with your prediction. Why cannot they make the process more predictable and transparent... they are not telling ADs anything either at this moment...

If they did, what would we talk about here? :)

Baswelworld hits andboe we have the recurring discussion on how Patek has lost its way and how they are no longer the same company. Rinse and repeat.

codecow · 30 July 2017, 03:51 AM

My guess is they have them done already and they're still trying to figure out allocations. My guess would be a couple weeks for that then a few weeks to get customer names to Geneva for the papers making for a Sept. to Oct. delivery.

love it my friend, and yes seems to be how it goes.

Patek will always be controversial. When you are the most "watched" watch brand, criticism will be unavoidable.

Any updates?

Socal to az · 2 August 2017, 03:03 AM

Nope. Nothing Nada zilch

KarlS · 2 August 2017, 06:26 AM

They have all been delivered to the allocate clients already. None left

Anyone get any contact today from your AD? I have two Patek ADs, not ideal I know, and they both reached out today for the thumbs up/thumbs down. Could have been a coincidence but seems unlikely.

I haven't heard back from my AD today, but when I spoke to him yesterday, he was waiting to hear back from Patek on allocations.

It looks like I should be expecting to hear back from my AD soon!

martinr · 3 August 2017, 10:03 AM

So did you give them the thumbs up?

One AD said sorry Tom, one AD said we got you Tom. I did a little happy dance but to be honest...doesn't mean a thing until I have it in hand.

Was just curious if this was a random occurrence.

Are you adding to the pilot collection my friend?

martinr · 3 August 2017, 12:03 PM

Hoping for the 5522 and have a feeling I'll get one. If it's anything like the 5524 you'll love it. Congrats.

Socal to az · 3 August 2017, 12:26 PM

Martin- are you going to keep both 5522 and 5524? I just got my Rolex. Likely I will sell it as I fear it won't get the wrist time once the Patek's arrive. But I'm not sure if I want to keep both the 5522 and 5524 eventually.

martinr · 3 August 2017, 12:28 PM

The plan is to keep both.

A steel Rolex on a bracelet is great for the beach / pool. I say keep all three, at least for a while. Those three will be easy to move at any point in time. No need to be hasty. Just my 2-cents.

Yeah- will definitely keep it for the time being. Was just curious about long term. I guess I'll just wait till I actually get all 3 and figure it out.

Thanks my friend. Fingers crossed.

Be well

Any more news? I would think Patek would start shipping any day.

I have not heard anything from my AD yet, did anyone else hear anything from ADs on allocation or delivery?
