It is so sad.

I'm flying to sunny Singapore tonight. A perfect watch for this trip would be 5650G. It would show two time zones, I could wear it with dark blue suit, jeans and also in the pool. I got the watch already two weeks ago but I had no time to get the rubber strap adjusted so I need to pick it up during my next visit to London.

Now I had to take as a more formal watch my trusted 5450P.









For the pool time I decided to take a Nautilus. This time my 5980/1A because the chronograph can also function as second time zone.









I clearly need more watches!

Best, Kari

I have always been amazed at your collection of Pateks. How many do you have now if I may ask? Please do not say you have no idea!!

In Lapland people often ask from the locals "how many reindeer they have".

 
 By: dr.kol : April 23rd, 2017-03:29
The answer is always the same: "If there is a tree, my reindeer can pass it from both sides at the same time". That might mean two or 500. For certain reasons I know that I have a bit over 10 with a diamond between the lugs. Plus gold & steel models. Obvi... 

I have too many other brands.

On Tuesday morning I will also get a new AP RO 15202 to replace the one which never worked and AP could not repair. Best, Kari

What up with AP?

We hear these type comments all the time.

It did not work when I bought it from AP Boutique. AP took it for repairs and it functioned less than one week after that. It went again for repairs to AP's own Service Centre and again, it worked just for a while. When the watch was finally fixed, there ... 

wow Kari..is the 5650G the advanced research aquanaut ?

huge congrats ! you got it really fast ! any other in your mind from Basel 2017 ? Enjoy your trip ! Christian

Yes, I got it fast.

The watch is paid and my name is in the Certificate but the strap will be adjusted only next month. I think I can't resist 5131P and I also love the new perpetual but will wait till it's made in platinum. Best, Kari

thanks for the information Kari..

 
 By: christianch : April 23rd, 2017-05:16
always fascinating to see your wonderful collection growing ! great choices as always I gather that you did not get any of the Pt Nautilus right ?

I was offered the "plain" pt Nautilus but I stupidly refused.

 
 By: dr.kol : April 23rd, 2017-06:28
When I reconsidered, the watch was gone. The anniversary Nautilus is not for me; diamond indexes and some advertisement on dial. Best, Kari

very good..I mean

 
 By: christianch : April 23rd, 2017-08:53
if a piece is not for you is good to pass...so many more options in the future.

I was wearing my 5450 today as well! Too bad I don't have the 5650G yet!

Kari, Congrats on the 5650G. Can't wait to see more pictures!! ...  

the 5960/1a would be a great fit for the weather in Singapore.

 
 By: benzng : April 23rd, 2017-04:00
I will wait for your review on the 5650G. I think you have the Advance research from 5450 to 5650 now?

Yes, those three.

 
 By: dr.kol : April 23rd, 2017-04:11
But I wonder if I should get also 5250 and 5350. On the other hand 5450 has all the new things the earlier two AR had. Let's see. Best, Kari

In my opinion 5550P it the one to get.

 
 By: dr.kol : April 23rd, 2017-04:49
But I'm looking forward putting 5650 to my wrist. I like the complication and accurate watches are always interesting. Best, Kari

you're right my friend...

Question

 
 By: sam1234 : April 23rd, 2017-04:31
I must be dense, but can you explain how the chronograph is used as a second time zone?

An example:

 
 By: dr.kol : April 23rd, 2017-04:46
Start it at noon home time and then it shows home time. You just need to guess if it's day or night at home. Best, Kari

Thank you [nt]
