face to face with 5101G

I must say the blue sun burst dial is super stunning, there is no comparison between pictures and the real thing. With a price tag like this I find it strange that it comes only with a tang buckle. 





I agree with your comments about the watch,

it is stunning.

However, with the price of that it does not make much difference if you buy a folding clasp separately.

Actually, in general, I find the pin buckle more comfortable.

BUT, at this price, I agree that they should offer the choice between a pin and a folding buckle.

This is luxury, after all. If this word still has a sense...

Best,

Nicolas.

Agree that the cost of folding buckle is very small compare

to the price tag, but why trouble the potential buyer to purchase it separately when for sure that price is not an issue?

large watches dont have deployants... i think it's because they've found that the clasp that is held by pressure can't hold together/stay shut because of the weight of the larger heavier watches... but i also it has something to do with bigger watches..  Think about it... 5205, 5135, 5074... i'm sure there is a reason.... yet the perpetual chronos do have deployants and the 5270 is fairly large... riddle me that...

but im pretty confident that they have reasons for everything

Excellent piece to keep.

You should have been given the choice to purchase the deployant when you bought the watch

It's a few grand accessories item. To be frank, I don't think the deployant is very comfortable anyway.

Congrats on your purchase!!

Best,

Great watch ! Why a red line covering a word ? It covers what?

this is the reason I asked ....

also from my point of view it is the mov. number..... so it is not necessary to hide it...

I mean all these ref. watches  have the same number on the dial ....

but I'm not sure   smile  

 

A buckle is perfect for the elegant watches.

I would find a folding clasp strange for this kind of watch.

There is nothing wrong with it coming with a Tang buckle

 
 By: BluNotte : November 30th, 2011-16:53

Price does not denote whether it should come with a deployant or tang.

At the end it's what one prefers, and no matter how expensive a piece goes i would prefer it to come in tang only.

Cheers

I do appreciate all comments mention above

First of all i must clarify that I am not the owner of this lovely watch, it belong to a good friend of mine. Regards to the comments of folding buckle, I personally feels that it is essential to have it there not just for the purpose of looking good, but for the purpose of convenience and safety reasons. I am more at ease put it on without resting the watch on your lab, table etc and also feel the same while taking it off. And lastly, I will not hesitate to show "full monte" if this gem is mine. 

Cheers!
