A good choice not to polish, she is truly beautiful. Hopefully you did not have to wait long for the return from the Patek spa, I am awaiting a delivery as well from the Patek spa, wear it in good health.

It's so good to be reunited with the piece... I've forgotten how lovely the grey dial combined with the bright white platinum case is in person. Absolutely fantastic, I'm in love again... I have chosen not to get the case polished and I believe I made the...

Wait time

It took about 7 months in my case, so the it wasn't a short wait but the email customer service was prompt in responding with an honest ETA and notifying me with any delay situations so I had a good idea of when to expect it back. Thanks and I hope your w...

If I could get three Pateks, this one would be the third one.

It took me one good year to appreciate it... Since then, that could well be a Watch I consider getting. Love the mono dial for the chronograph. And I appreciate the fact that this reference got its own chronograph movement ( shared with the Nautilus 5980 ...  

If I could get only 2 PPs

I would get this one first. Spectacular piece in my favorite dial color. However you got me worried with the 7 month turnaround. Not sure I could part with mine for that long. Was there a particular reason for this or is this standard for this watch?

welcome home indeed. although

im not so sure how i would feel to wait for 7 mths . Is this the standard serviceing turnaround for a patek? Just curious. :)

Through the Henri Stern agency in NYC, the expected wait time was made very clear from the start - it sounded like all pieces sent into service in Geneva around that time of year (Jan/Feb 2014) would experience similar wait. Not sure if this is consistent... 

The pictures are just great ...

First of all, nice watch! I like the 5960P. Secondly, don't polish it unless you have A LOT of scratches. Third, those are some nice macro photographs. Good job! Never easy doing macros on a watch!

Lovely pics...

And good to know it's back with you after 7 months. Guess the absence will only make you wear it more often.

Thanks for sharing

Great pictures! I am also considering overhaul for my 5960. If you don't mind, may I ask how much it costs? Also, is 7 month a standard wait or was there a specific issue? Thanks in advance for feedback. Sharing some of my pics. ...
