My Patek's have been flawless
No issues - none. However my AP RO I had was a POS. Bought it new and sent twice in for service in the 3 years I had it. Fortunately it was under warranty which is why after the warranty period I had to let her go.

This isn’t a statistically sound way of comparing the two, but over on the AP thread it’s 50/50 while Patek it’s 33/67 which is a pretty meaningful difference. And then with a number of experiences like this, it definitely doesn’t seem like isolated incidences with AP. |

This is why PP needs to provide a five, and better still eight-year warranty like Panerai and others do. Ask yourself why far lower-cost timepiece manufacturers give a 3x+ better warranty than Patek?

Getting back to PP. Have not had a problem (knock on wood) with any of them. Same with any of my Rolex, and ALS. Maybe the AP was just a lemon. Don't know. |

Five APs and no issues with any of them. Only one Patek, but again no issues. And my watches get well worn!

Yes, multiple times.
But, I wear them and beat the hell out of them. You would probably be horrified at the scratches. Worst offender is the seatbelt when I’ve had too many drinks and it hits it on release. BTW, Greetings ! I’m new to the forum. Long term Timezone poster but that PP site has just about died unfortunately. |
