Patek Service Times-- 10 Week Delay
My 5110p (World Time) has been in service for nearly 6 months, so I called HWSA to check on status. I was told there is a 10 week delay on this type of complication, by which I suppose she meant a world timer. I was also told this is due to a large number of service requests. Hmmmmm. Losing use of one's watch for nearly 3/4 of a year is pretty hard to swallow.

Anyone own the PAM505?
HI Guys,So after obsessing about Rolex, I'm kind of put off them with all the issues they're having etc. So I've started to look back at Panerai where I first started before I decided to go with Rolex.I've narrowed down my search to a PAM505, really like the look of this watch, but a bit concerned about the thickness. Comes in at a whopping 17.5mm. So does anyone own this particular watch and how is it to live with? Pictures would be great. I yet still need to go and try one on, but I've always loved the look of Panerai, and it will be my next watch to finalise my collection....for now lolI want an automatic, I know the manual watches are a lot slimmer but I can not be bothered with the winding, especially with a screw down crown, makes me uncomfortable. I'd be happy to hear of any other alternatives, but I am pretty set on the 505. Plus after that the prices shoot up quite a bit.Thanks for readingM.
