It was 5 months initially...
but I discovered an issue after its returned from service, and it went away for another 10 months.
Glad to have this back...
Out for more than a year for service at the manufacturer. With me for almost 2 weeks, and it is fast by ~20 seconds. I'll take that. ...

A year is long.
I can image you missed it quite a bit and are glad to be reunited. Was there something very wrong either it or did they give an explanation why it took so long?
Too long indeed.
It went for a routine service which was returned after 5 months. Then I discovered an issue (day wheel isn't advancing), and it took another 10 months to fix it.
Certainly way too long.
One wonders just how service is supposed to work if ostensibly watchmakers are to tackle things quickly enough. It surely isn't that hard to figure out what the problem was and to rectify it. But most importantly it is back to you and in good shape!
It actually went in without any problem...
that's why many go with "no service unless there's an issue". The watchmakers will be far more competent than the service technician I believe. Anyway, I sent it in since this one is almost 20 years old, and to be honest, I collected the piece on a weeken...
This was my 4th...
(Perp Cal or PCC) serviced by VC. I am happy with the overall experience, although this one could have returned earlier.
One year for service and 20 seconds fast a day. And I thought Patek’s service was horrible. In my opinion, the fundamental, the basic, the primordial task of a watch…
…is to keep time. Anything else is bells and whistles. And the better watch ought to keep watch precisely. This is no quartz vs mechanical discussion. I’m referring to quality mechanical movements. A quality mechanical movement must be precise at the very...
It’s a wonder!
Lots to love with this one, Goh. I’m glad you have it back. More pictures of it in exotic locations please! 20 seconds over 13 days sounds good. All the best, Jon
Your patience has been as admirable as your beautiful watch.
I am glad it is back and running well and glad you shared this one with us. Yes, it took a long time, but what is one going to do? Once out of your hands, it's up to the powers to be at VC and your patience.
Thank you.
We are at their mercy unfortunately, but we all went in with our eyes open.
