Disappointed
This post is not meant to flame the Patek brand. I'm just frustrated and I want to share my experience with you guys. My first Patek, 5711, developed the sticking date issue. Now my second one, 5980, is having problems. I first noticed a small bubble on the minute hand's luminova. Very minute but noticeable under a loupe. Today, I discovered that the seconds hand doesn't reset to 12; it resets at 11. Going to bring it back to the AD tomorrow Thanks for letting me rant. Have a great weekend all.
