no problems so far
can be used as a daily beater, with useful calender function. chrono takes abit of time to get used to, and truth be told, i still get confused. anyway, the platinum is great, can feel the weight, without being excessive. very modern chrono. my only gripe : power reserve is 55 hours, which is great if you wear every other day. i wear mine once a week, and its a pain to keep having to adjust the dates and day.
How robust is the 5960...?
Hi all Any owners of this model use it as a daily wearer? How robust is it? I'm thinking of getting this as my next piece - eventually! and see it as something i'd want to wear everyday. Any opinions/feedback would be much appreciated Best regards.
I wear mine often....Infact it seems to get the most wrist time recently....
and for me it feels like an every day watch with useful complications with that Patek Philippe feel and wrist presence which is like no other......... I carry out most daily tasks in it with no problems. It does not seem to pick up any scratches or dings ...
Love to hear owners such as you Miles151...
... as much as i hate reading about people that keep their watch sealed in the safe wear it in good health
Wow....
you swim with it on? I would agree that it would be a perfect daily wearer, but also to swim with it? Cheers

I don, from time to time
I only have a six winder and one singular unit, all are used for other watches unfortunately. Also, I am just to lazy to place a weeky wear watch in a winder, I just leave them in the drawer.
Horogasm, What do you mean to say............
You don't get some watches out every few days and give them a wind and polish??????? What else is there to do in the dark cold evenings???? LOL... Make love to the wife??? What sort of a collector are you??? One with a life I guess. Regards Miles.
Sadly, to maintain this hobby, I actually work quite long hours.
It's like marrying a really pretty but high maintenance wife, you just work your butt off to maintain the lifestyle, not to live it, sadly. I know I am a terrible purists....think is is listed on the forum by-rules , thou shall caress thy watch every even...

it seems to be very durable
I wore one daily for a long time. No problems at all, all thought mine did not see water, mainly because I don't use a watch to swim
Great feedback, also with regards to the chrono...
does anyone use it as continuous sweep seconds hand, 24/7? I've read that as it's virtually friction free it can run non-stop.
I use mine with sweep
Mine is in use as a daily beater. I guess I'll wear it for a long time. I see no reason to die without having worn my watches. I was told by PP to leave the sweep hand running, and I do so. This is a perfectly tough watch, but the deploying clasp should b...
Syncing up the chrono sweep hand
Am i correct in thinking the chrono sweep hand when activated is only synced up to the chrono monocounter and not the main dail's hour and minute hand? if so how is it possible to tell the true accuracy of the main dial's timekeeping i.e. how many seconds...
Questions make sense.
In short the answer is NO, the seconds hand cannot be synched excepy by the simple expedient of ... leaving the chrono running. The minute hand is pretty long and minutes have subgraduation, so the clock time can be read to within less than 10 seconds. Ac...
I wear my 5960P almost everyday...
...no problem so far. The chrono is usually running to clear the sweeping second hand from the date window. Accuracy is good not as precise as my Casio though.
