5960P
I tried winding my 5960p the following day after playing around with the chronograph functions. And to my surprise, I noticed the power indicator moving very slowly to the plus sign.
For reassurance, I went ahead and brought it in to Patek NYC and was told the watch seems to be fine and that I should test it out the next few weeks (let the power go to zero and rewind to see if indicator reaches "+".)
Maybe some 5960 owners can help me out. Questions with winding 5960P manually:
1) One full wind (crown at tip of thumb to base of thumb), I hear gears clicking 4 times. My other pateks, the gears click continuously.
With my 5960P, the crown winds smoothly compared to other models such as 5146 , 5396 and 5130. I don't sense the gears rotating as much with the 5960P.
With the annual calendars and World times (5130), the sound of the gears winding is very noticeable. Can someone with these watches make this comparison for me?
2) Fully winding the watch from 0% to 100% requires approx. 50 winds, can someone confirm this?
My suspicion is that the winding gear isn't fully catching.
Obviously the safest way to confirm this is by sending the watch to Geneva. I waited over a year for this watch, it would be upsetting to have to wait another 6 months for the repair.
