Double happiness ! Also double trouble in that...

which one gets more wrist time ? LOL! Cheers, Gordon

I would guess luck had little to do with it!

Congratulations on two superb watches. I believe you are now the third forum member with a 5650G. A stunning, innovative and just plain cool watch. Congratulations and wear them in great health. Joe

Congrats!

What is the left model? I have seen pics on IG but not sure of the reference. Perhaps Mr. Google would tell me

5650.

 
 By: willski : June 21st, 2017-22:27
LE/500 and some pretty cool technological features! Of the two, prefer this one

I looked it up...it's quite nice!

Thanks for sharing!

Its double hapiness for you. You did right , there is no wrong in buying 2 Pateks.

So long as purse , heart and gall can take it. Consider yourself blessed. Cheers. Geross. ;

Double (sealed) congratulations

Best wishes Alkiro

Double congratulations!!!

 
 By: KamalRostov : June 21st, 2017-22:22
They are both beautiful pieces!

Fantastic!

 
 By: willski : June 21st, 2017-22:28
Sincere congratulations! Both fantastic and whilst similar in theme (sports watches), ultimately quite different. Slightly preference for the 5650 but both are awesome!

Whoa! One for each wrist!!!

I have seen the 5650 and it's a very cool watch despite the 'hole' in the dial. I was first hesitative whether i would like it, but when i saw it all reservations went overboard...just stunning. The specialty of the advanced had to be explained to me, eve...

Two very nice watches to add to your collection! Hopefully the wait before pick up is not too long.

Another pair of watches UNOPENED when sold

 
 By: Patekfinity : June 22nd, 2017-12:08
These watches will probably end up in an auction later this year or next... Patek needs to clamp down on this practice of ADs selling sealed watches!

Not so fast

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : June 22nd, 2017-12:17
This may just be a scan from an AD to his customer. I think the assumption that the owner is a flipper is premature to say the least. As the OP states - awaiting pickup

I amend my post...

 
 By: Patekfinity : June 22nd, 2017-13:12
WHEN the watches are delivered...let's see if the owner posts pictures of these OPENED. I am 99.9% sure that will not happen... As everyone have seen on these posts of pictures with unopened watches...the owner does not post follow-up pictures of the watc... 

Collector, sadly for you I have no concern nor interest in proving you incorrect. Those about whom I do care, including my very good friend and AD, know with certainty these, like all my pieces, will be worn and cherished. I wonder what you offer when..

 
 By: 5980 : June 22nd, 2017-13:38
...you are proven incorrect, as certainly has happened to you before when making unfounded accusations? Feel free to spend your passive aggression elsewhere and ignore my posts in the future

Stand down friend. Baron is absolutely correct. I will be retrieving from my AD on my return. I receive this allocation...

 
 By: 5980 : June 22nd, 2017-13:32
...because I'm an avid collector. Have not - for flip or otherwise- ever sold a single piece, and I have many which are well in the black. Jumping to conclusions like yours is both often inaccurate and insulting.

Not trying to offend anyone

 
 By: Patekfinity : June 22nd, 2017-13:43
I am fed up seeing all these posts of SEALED references that are otherwise UNOPENED or end up in the secondary market. As a collector, I am seeing more and more of this happening with Patek watches...especially the limited edition watches. I believe Patek... 

Perhaps one might have gone about your point in a different way

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : June 22nd, 2017-15:04
You essentially accused a seasoned collector of being a flipper. Well, you put a 99.9% probability on that outcome. That member has previously given an introduction of himself and his collection philosophy. Basically, you made a big error of judgment. I a... 

Well,

 
 By: Mark in Paris : June 22nd, 2017-15:07
as you say yourself, you don't know what will "5980" do with his watches. He said in his first post that he was going to pick them up, thus we can imagine it is a picture from its AD, that's why they are still in the box. I don't think it is fair to reply... 

NEW Directives from Patek regarding "SEALED" watches

 
 By: Patekfinity : June 26th, 2017-09:07
*** Edited as it is a Duplicated post Let me put the link to the other one for we have only one discussion about a same issue: www.watchprosite.com Thank you for the info. Best, Mark

Yes, this is to what I was referring in my posts. It isn't written by me nor addressed to me and therefore I wouldn't post it online.

 
 By: 5980 : June 26th, 2017-09:52
As I mentioned, however, I know definitively that PP is attempting to combat the issue. Collector, it seems you're failing to see the problem. Many of us agree with the your views on the grey market challenge. Where we differ is in our view of the appropr... 

Huge congratz

 
 By: Mark in Paris : June 22nd, 2017-15:09
I like the 5976's dial quite a lot and after seeing some wristshots from members I think it really looks good. The 5650G is my favorite watch from this year (and I'm usually not an Aquanaut guy). Enjoy them well and please share some pictures after you've...
