Dear All,
My watch was eventually sent back to PP Geneva for examination at end of November 2016.
I have collected my 5270G from PP service center Hong Kong today.
The watch has gone through a complete service in Geneva (Disassembly and examination of all components, cleaning and replacement of basic movement parts, regulating of movement, encasing and full quality control).
According to staff of PP service center Hong Kong, the reply from Geneva is that the brief pause of chronograph second hand at 59-60 sec is a normal feature of CH29 movement. Since the instantaneously jumping of minute counter will consume significant energy and that mechanism is linked up with the chronograph second hand.
This phenomenon will happen in all 5170 and 5270, though some will be more prominent than others, but that's regarded as normal by PP Geneva.
Best,
Henry
