The reasons to post this information on the Patek forum was to find out opinions from the members of the board. Obviously I will send the watch back to the factory for repair but in my opinion I am entitled to free of charge repair. Again, "in my own opinion" this problem is not due to wearing habits but it is a quality problem from Patek Phillipe. Why do I really want free of charge repair? Because when the problem happened with my 5059 I was told by the factory that it needed service anyway and I paid $1400.00. But why it was actually loosing time I will never find. And I don't really want to be paying this again. I don't know if quality of Patek went down, I own only 2 pieces from this brand and both need (needed) repair, and that's my story whether you like it or not.. But I don't want to say that problems happens only to Patek, my JLC 8 days perpetual calendar winding crown broke down 6 weeks after purchase. Do I have bad luck? Maybe, but all my other (10) watches works fine right from the beginning. Sorry if I offended "almighty Patek Phillipe" watch factory and Patek die hard fans, but I have problem and I used this forum to let everybody else know about it.

P.S. In 2002 there was amazing trip organized by Mr. Thomas Mao, founder of this site, to Patek factory which I was kindly invited to. I saw the quality and workmanship that goes into creating the Patek timepieces. When my son was born I was thinking what gift to buy to my wife as an appreciation for her difficult pregnancy. My immediate decision was to buy Patek Phillipe watch. They last forever, right?
