Good question. And do they charge the same prices as the HSWA?

I don't have any pics.
He just said that the watch came back looking brand new - which I saw and it did.
Case was absolutely scratched to hell. God knows how they repaired that. Crystal smashed. Movement not working. Dial I don't know whether that was smashed or not.

i guess they can laser gold maybe easier than SS however the bill must be hefty specially if they had to replace the dial !

I think PP Pilot has a new meaning from today;-)
What does my being an American have to do with anything? Am I to assume that my comments would be more relevant for you if I were Canadian or some other nationality?

Now has it become acceptable on TRF to questions another members nationality, as though it matters? Someone's comments from country "A" are less relevant than those from county "B"?

Not sure why this is even relevant to the conversation.

George just means you have a strong grasp of english whereas for many members here english is a second or third language.

Glad we non-native english/american speakers received the gift of clarification of the subtle semantic differences between fake and false. Great unexpected educational opportunities in this thread. Thanks.

That's shocking. 23% of the time, your watch is getting fixed.

if he didn't follow up they might have forgot about it. Im being serious. AP forgot to tell me when one of my pieces was fixed when it was in for warranty work. I had to call them to ask what was going on to learn that it was already fixed.

Why I won’t own a Patek. The apologists are nearly as bad as the brand.

No many how many other cars I have to drive, if I had a Ferrari gone for 18 months for a 15,000 mile service, I’d lose my mind. It would be front page news.

Service time is that long because Patek makes sure that the watch returns to the owner as perfect as it can be.

if it doesn't take 18months to make the watch in the first place, it should not take 18 months to service it. Excessive service times do not have any thing to do with getting it perfect.
