Patek Philippe quality control issue
Brought a brand new double seal 5390G in one of the authorise deal here in Hong Kong, cut the seal open myself at the shop, then brought it on the spot.Two days later find out there is some scratch on the gold rotor under the glass, go back to the dealer and say will send right back to swiss to fix it.have to wait at least one and half month.......what kind of quality control is that for a 65k usd watch?

Devaluation
After buying new.. anyone know the percentage of devaluation that has Panerai and Rolex? Of course the watches have been maintained and that they are flawless.
