Hello, Everyone,
I'm carrying my Patek Aquanaut 5066 today at the office after I chose to reduce myself. No urinals were accessible and so I needed to make use of the toilet bowl.
When I was along the way I flexed my arm to enhance my goal a little, then all a quick the springbar about the 6 e' time haul launched, and before I'd an opportunity to respond my precious, months-aged Aquanaut was slap within the base of the bathroom pan, absorbed because disgusting fluid;- (
Before this there is no indicator of looseness or issues with the springbars, and because this can be a completely new view, used to do not necessarily consider them significantly.
Well I caught it out and cleaned it many times with palm soap, but my problem may be the aftereffect of urine about the gaskets.
Must I possess the view examined and/or even the gaskets changed? In the minimum I'm likely to demand from my seller a brand new group of springbars.
I thought the Blancpain friction hooks were a bummer to get rid of when changing straps, however they appear to be advisable today. Examine your spring bars, everybody I'm getting weird with one of these issues.
Thanks,
Jess
