INCOMING ! Part 2 of 2: enamel poison runs deep and it was a 5131. Before clicking to see more photos, please guess which metal of the 5131 based on “North America” shown in the head picture.
Thank you all for providing your guesses in my previous post !
The more popular guesses were 5740 and 5968, both of which I did consider.
At the end, the enamel passion/addiction prevailed and drove me to get another 5131.
Each 5131 is unique because of the hand made enamel dial. Hence, In addition to wrist shots, comparatively photos of the different continents are posted to show how the enamelers interpret the world map on the dials.
Can you tell which is the G and which is the R ?
Overall, were you surprised by my choice to concentrate on the 5131 theme ? 
Cheers,
Gordon

kidney to get this 5131R first, but am enjoying every moment though !
Don't worry, you've still got a second kidney to give up for another watch!
Who needs kidneys? (joking of course) Very nice watches! I still find the tiger more resonating though.
Wow Patrick, you had me worrying about ...

Asia (and other places globally) must share our horological passion because “sharing is caring” !
Congratulations, Gordon - my enamel crazy friend
Bravo! To have the two, is a dream but quite an achievement also. The devil is in the details and having both, sheds a new light when looking at them side by side. (and you only need one kidney anyway) I cant wait to meet you and hopefully get educated on...
Thank you Christian for your kind words ! Be careful, the enamel...
fever / poison is highly contagious and deadly, but so pleasurable ! The best education will come from inspecting these enamel dials.
Hi Fram, thanks for your kind comments ! Now you need to ...
hunt down the R as well, right ?
Apologies Fab for my typo ! I meant to write Fab but somehow “AI” put down...
Fram instead :-( No matter what, you NEED to hunt down R for its warmth and G for Europe in the map
Thanks Fram ! I am happy to join the R club ! Next for us is to join the...
...5531 Club ? Just kidding, do not think I qualify. :-( If you come to Asia, our 5131s need to have a GTG !
Hi FRAMII, The 5531 is a grail and I have applied for it...
in my dreams only ! LOL ! No budget and no more body parts to sell for funding this grail unfortuantely :-(
Hi FRAM, you asked a very good and relevant question ! I have...
thought about this trade and have sought advice from Patek collectors. My answer is MAYBE, but not yet because I still have some "unfinished business". What do you think ?
I have a big problem
As i have never traded or sold any of my watches. I would find it hard. And also the fact that next year or in 2020 there might be another potential grail watch lunched 😂
Amazing!
Wonderful addition. Gorgeous piece!!! Looking forward to seeing whether you are planning to wear this on a strap or bracelet... Enjoy!
Thanks keks, I am happy to wear this 5131R with the...
current brown strap which matches the enamel and case very well.
My apologies.
Thought you had gone for a P.... the R is a lovey complement to your G!
How is this possible? Your AD has one kept in the safe wait for you?😊
I should have guessed it but was not thinking of discontinued models. Congratulations Mr Enamel King.
Huge Congrats . Beautiful PP 👌🏻😘
Didnt see that one coming 😬 or maybe we did 😉. Wear it in best of health 🙏🏻
Many congratulations.

Congrats and Great catch on the seemingly impossible one!
How is the R still available? Did you make them to make one for you?

relationship, timing and luck !
Mega congrats 🎉🎉🎉
A superb incoming! Absolutely brilliant! Wear her in great health 😊👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Huge congrats, Gordon. [nt]
Just one more to go before completing the whole series of 5131! Can't wait to see all metals coming together.
Congratulations Gordon!
I am very happy you got this piece! However I must say I am not surprised as I am very certain you will complete the set of course, it's a pleasant surprise at the purchase just before the end of the year
Hi 5980, thanks for your kind words ! I am very happy with this...
pick up, especially since the enamel map contains Asia.
Big Congratulations!
Extremely beautiful dial. Each of the color is well balanced and distinctive. What a great acquisition. Now you need to have the J to complete the full set. All the best and wish you wearing all your 5131's in best of health.
Thanks Huei ! The 5131 set is another issue because now I need to...
enjoy the 5131R first !
Fantastic piece Gordon
Congratulations and wear it in good health. Hope to see it the next time we are in each other's neck of the woods. Besides the 5131's, Patek World Time is under appreciated at the moment in my opinion. The 5110 represents decent value at the moment I thin...

... poisoned deeper ! LOL ! The 5110 would be a great catch, especially for a smaller wrist.
Huge congrats Gordon
I am not surprised by your choice its but only natural you get the R as you are a loyal 5131 fan member Cheers! Now its time for you to guess my new incoming watch. But thats a topic in another thread.
Huge Congrats!
Your passion and determination is truly inspirational. Looking forward to seeing what's next! Might I suggest a repeater? 😀 Have a Happy New Year! May the upcoming year be a Patek-filled one!
