A. Lange & Söhne: It's a tough choice.

AP's 15202 is a must-have on most people's bucket list. I'd also take Patek's 5711 and Chopard's Alpine Eagle. The latter isn't too shabby considering what you get at its price level, cf. . They would be my go-to pieces if I only was allowed to pick three watches from the poster above. Hublot and B

A. Lange & Söhne: What a splendid review!

Your review is one of my absolute favourite reviews of this timepiece along with this article from Wristreview. Do you have any idea about what material the majority of the rotor is made of?

Patek Philippe: It's a great timepiece!

Their second generation of self-winding worldtimers are by far my favorite, because it has a contemporary size which allows for great legibility. It's also more aesthetically pleasing to look at as the cities ring is less cluttered. I also prefer the guilloché-pattern in this generation, since it le

Patek Philippe: The following are my initial thoughts.

I got really excited when I saw 5168G, until I noticed the increased size which doesn't include the crown. The dimensions of its brother in steel (5167) is already optimal, so I don't see any need or purpose by bulking up their sports watches. I would have preferred a 5167G instead. The 5320 is abso

Jaeger-LeCoultre: I've dreamt of it for roughly 5 years, but I always got distracted somehow.

I think it's one heck of a timepiece, especially from a technical standpoint. The almost symmetrical layout of the dial and the buttery smooth sensation of the monoousher really hits the spot with me. And the decoration of the movement is quite nice too. The only thing that scares me are the service

Patek Philippe: Thank you for posting these great shots, Mark.

A Nautilus made in the spirit of 5164 has some potential. It could replace the somewhat old 5712, if they wanted to make room for a new model within the same price range (relatively speaking). I honestly don't know whether I like the 5990, because I can't avoid thinking about the 60 minute counter.

Patek Philippe: I haven't downgraded (yet).

But I must admit that I sometimes prefer an older model much more than I do a current collection model. SeaDweller and Submariner is for instance one example. The VC Les Historiques and the current CdV is another example. However, I definitely prefer 5130 over 5110 any day of the week because the fo

Patek Philippe: I think Aquanaut is a great addition to Patek's portfolio.

It's more sporty than Nautilus and less conservative too. I also like how it slips under the radar as most people aren't aware of its value. The svelte profile of 5167 makes it a great all-rounder for casual wear. But I also like the 5164 due to its symmetrical layout and user-friendly complication,

Patek Philippe: I'd take a 5712.

There's just something about it that attracts me. The caliber is great and reliable, but also pretty to behold. I also like how the microrotor allows you to view the entire top of the movement, unlike the more common full rotor (either 180- or 110-degree). The power reserve indicator could be omitte

Patek Philippe: How about 5200G?

It's a lovely reference featuring an interesting movement and gorgeous case. The latter should be easier to replicate in LEGO than caliber 89. However, I think you might be facing a challenge, if you intend to recreate the curved case and crystals.
