Opinions on 5980/1A
Have been reading the forums for a while and now would be grateful for some opinions on the 5980/1A.
I came across a 5980/1A at a grey market dealer store.
He claims that the piece is new and unused and I have visually inspected it - comes in original box but the double seal has been opened but otherwise the watch is still wrapped in the original plastic wrappings.
I inspected the papers etc and all seems in order except that the name of the original buyer from the Patek AD has been written onto the papers and the watch is just out of warranty(2010 purchase date).
What is your opinion ? !!! We don´t discuss prices here. Thanks for your understanding! !!!
Besides the obvious (lack of warranty, reputation of dealer) what other advice can you help input on?
The alternative to buying this 5980/1A that I am considering is to look for a 5711/1A from an AD (new with warranty) but right now I havent found any dealer that has them in stock yet.
Thanks for your help
