Got it...didn't see the link first time...
...as an American, there were a lot of terms/phrases I had to learn watching Python. 9 Stone is 126 pounds...I checked : )
Do reviewers ever measure these with calipers?
This seems a tad thicker than 8.5mm. I forget which, but there was another watch recently that looked massively thicker than what was stated in the review.
I agree with you that the thickness appears to exceed 8,5mm,
but it's the official info on Patek's website (that's where I got the number, not from a review)...

Here's the photo on their site...
...maybe it's the slab-sided nature, but it seems thicker. I guess my point is, how many reviewers (you know the usual crowd) who actually handle the watches, measure them?
Coincidence: in this video,
Tim Mosso starts with the 5821/1A-001 and says that Patek claims a thickness of 8,3mm but he measures 8,6mm: exactly what you suggested yesterday!
Cheers, Emmanuel
: ) Not a huge difference, but telling...
...I've noticed a trend lately where they declare a thickness and use the disclaimer, 'not including crystal,' Maybe it's one of those discrepancies...
It's a bit similar to the way brands
count the complications of their ultra complicated models: hours=1, minutes=2, seconds=3, etc. ;-)
Optics and distance play mind games. The only dimension that matters is your bank balance.
Can't say I'm a fan of the model range, but the 40mm version seems like the best size
If you can pull off the 45 mm,
then steel and two-tone are certainly a good choice.

Good to know.
The square shape is unusual, so it's difficult to get an idea of how it really wears just from photos.
I have tried both in the metal
The G with the icy blue dial is nicer in my opinion
A tad to small for me but would be great for ladies
Good to know!
On photos, I have a preference for the warmer rose gold variant, but I haven't seen these models in real life.

And what do you think of this new Patek pattern
On the oscillation mass ?
I really prefer the “côtes de Genève” and it’s smoothness from this more modern very “angular and squarish” pattern.

I feel just like you,
but then judging only from photos can be deceiving: I prefer to withhold my judgment until I get a chance to see these pieces in real life (if I ever do as they're not my main point of interest).
Thanks for chiming in.

Thanks for chiming in.

I have tried them, and it is nicely executed but make too “industrial” compared to the more “handmade” feeling of the previous pattern
Other than that the Green dial and the two tone are really nice. The third model has something to me which does not make it.
Thank you for your feedback!
It's good to know that you've tried them on.

But according to those who have tried it on,
it seems to wear smaller than it looks. Definitely a watch to see in real life if one is interested.

Thank you very much for the attractive high quality photos!
IMHO Cubitus model line could be more elegant and harmonious without unnecessary and useless wide Nautilus-styled ears.
You may be right: I find it hard to figure it in my mind.
Thanks for the kind words.

The smaller size is a step in the right direction
but in my eyes it's still an ugly watch!
The 45mm Cubitus is a disaster on my 17,5 cm wrist
The new 40mm Cubitus fits quite well but is still "not nice"

Thanks for sharing your hands-on impressions.
As I like your collection very much, I'm inclined to think that I wouldn't respond to the Cubitus either...
