Missed estimate by Clearwater
So I sent in my Diver under warranty to the Clearwater facility on the 4th of September to get an adjustment since the watch was running 15+ seconds a day. A couple of days later, I had recieved the estimate that the repair would be done by approximately about four weeks. At the end of the second week I gave them a call to get an update what has been done to my watch. They said that my watch is in QC and should be ready in a week (a week short of the estimate). I was very pleased. This week I gave them a call and she said that my watch is going back to the watchmaker because it has failed the quality control. She said that a pinion has to be replaced and they are ordering the part directly from Switzerland. Which it would take about another four weeks. I am worried that the watch would not be done before I leave the country and that they cant mail the watch outside the US. My question is has anyone here have the same issue that I am having (missed estimate) and how long does it take f

Patek Philippe Collectors Dinner last night in Philadelphia
Some of you might have even been there! If so, sorry to have missed you. Last night I had the awesome privilege of joining fellow TRF friends myopiccoog and StuxNet for a collectors gathering in Philadelphia, sponsored by Govberg Jewelers. It was held in the Franklin Institute and we got to view some fantastic pieces on display.Apologies for the lousy camera phone pics as the lighting was a bit dim - good for romance perhaps but not so good for capturing fine details!Clockwise from top left we have:1. 5307P instantaneous perpetual calendar tourbillon with minute repeater. With 40 baguette diamonds (3.91 tcw) it's supposed to have a sound like no other. MSRP approx $850,000.2. 5131 World Time enamel dial in J and G. Much discussed here in TRF so not much detail necessary IMHO. 3. 5074P perpetual calendar minute repeater with cathedral gongs. MSRP approx $620,000.4. 5160R perpetual calendar with retrograde date. Lovely engravings on the case - not for everyone but impressive to behold in
