Disappointed with PP

I truly put a lot of thought before posting the following. But I think I should share.

Few weeks ago, I posted a message talking about my 5960 which stopped all of a sudden and it has been almost 2 months that it is still being fixed.
At the end of the day it is watch and even though it might be rare, "sh*t happens". I posted my message because the wait is too long.

Two weeks ago, I had my *0th birthday and I am proud to say, my wife got me a 5980, which I wanted to have. At the very same night, my father showed me the unfortunate.
He pulled out his 5101, which is few months old, to wear it. He noticed that something looked really different. He looked again, he couldn't tell the time.
It was the minute indicator. It was not in its place. The indicator was totally unscrewed from the center. Any angle you turn the watch the indicator was moving and was free from the center.

This is completely unacceptable. This is not a complicated movement problem, this is a simple problem! I am staggered such quality problem happening with a PP, nevertheless with a Grand Complication PP.
I am very loyal to PP and it is by far my number one choice.
But I think it is time for PP management to turn their big magnifying loops on their QC.
