New Speedmaster
I own a few Rolex, Breitling and a Ball watch and decided to try a Speedmaster, basic watch, Hesalite, leather deployment.

Patek 5177 purchased, no papers...
I have purchased my first modern Patek Philippe and I couldn't be more thrilled. I traded two watches and a bit of cash for it to a well known and respected dealer, who I have inquired to about the issue.The watch showed up and is in great condition (like new). However, it does not have papers, mauals, tags, and short two links.I emailed the dealer and pointed this out the day I got it and he responded that the watch from a certified dealer but did not come with papers.We had been talking trade numbers and not an actual value of the watch so based on how that conversation had gone I assumed that he was placing a value on the watch of $25,000 or so. The watch arrived without anything other than a box and I am upset.I'm trying to figure out what to do here.

My Patek 5990 is FINALLY at HSWA NYC for Service.
Hello fellow TRF members. I wanted to start a fresh thread that I will update along the way about the service of my 5990.A little while back, I reported of Dust inside the movement of my 5990. There is also a problem with the case polish on the watch. Keep in mind my 5990 is only a couple months old since I purchased it brand new from my patek AD.. You will notice in one picture that there is a fiber inside the watch. I circled it in red so you can see. Aside from dust contamination, The watch isn't keeping as advertised time and or power reserve. This could also be due to the dust contamination. In the second picture, I would like to point out that this watch has been miss polished from the factory. You will see a red circle indicating the problem area. The polished line that flows from either side of the lugs dips in the center and is not perfectly straight. Same can be said of the bottom pusher for the chronograph, that is not properly polished either and does not match the top push
