Patek 5270 quality issues

Hello All,
I thought I would write about this because I wanted to know if I was the only one with these problems with this watch.....

I own a 5270G bought brand new from an AD.
To make a long story short, the watch is now four years old. Within the first two years, the watch had to be serviced twice. Once for the date window sticking (would not flip dates after midnight); and once for the chronograph minutes counter actually going BACKWARDS (for example after 60 seconds, the minute counter would actually go backwards to before the zero setting! Instead of going forwards to 1 minute).

This was all repaired at no cost because it was under warranty.

More recently my watch occasionally just.....stops. It is fully wound. It usually happens after I don't wear it for awhile. Within the first 24 hours of me wearing it, it occurs. Maybe after 2-3 days of wear, the watch seems to "settle in", and it works fine after that.

I have a lemania movement 5970 which never has any problems.

Are there any 5270 owners who have had issues with their watches? One post I read said that the calendar year wheel might also have issues.

Thanks for your input.
