Day 1, honeymoon. Good watch when I dont have to break out the sand paper right away.
However, I did add silicon grease to the pushers so they wouldn't stick as much. The month almost got stuck.

Today, wearing my new to me peggy modded 3kf 5711 (buff dial). Found some very minor smudges. As a tip, i use play-doh to remove as if it were watch makers' clay (metal parts only).
Put some locktight on loose pins if any, try to center pins as much as possible.
nice big gasket on the screwdown case back.... added a pinch of silicone grease, seems to be water proof for sink diving
Also silicone grease on the rotor which seems to silence it well. did this on my 15202 too.
Using duck tape to unscrew back so i dont scratch it with my case back tool (which happens a lot) very experienced Ex-Rolex noob here.

was wondering how you guys flex those pateks daily, totally miss this sticklied thread in tapa/browser as the bumps are lowkey.
Shall we request a 'UNsticky' so it gets bumped into the regular feed?
Raddave trailboss99 please can we unsticky this thread? patek section is alive at the moment

unrelated to tapa. IMO, stickied threads gets lost in the user inferface (UI) whereas threads that float will get pushed to the top each time someone post. Stickied subjects tend to be references and not daily updates. Pretty please :thumbup:
*In the AP section the wrist-check thread floats and gets plenty post.

Getting a thread stickied is like a bage of honor , i dont want to ruin that , plus with it stickied , its already at the top , and there is an indicator which shows when there is now post which you havent read
so once again no

Sorry there is no Rm 30. There is Rm10 from Aliexpress. Very thick 16.5mm. But great date wheel. Proof they could have done a really good rm10 if they wanted to.
I was going to buy rm10 last year when price was 125k. Put myself for waiting list on Rm30. But dealer said priority to precious metals only. Waiting list is a few years and I couldn't even make it on it anymore.
