Independents: Such a cool watch!

Took me a while but now I think the C5 is the best of the C so far, followed by the OG Continuum / C1. With C2 and C4 I'd be worried they will look banged up in no time with the coated case and C3 is just not for me. Wondering about the upcoming C6...

Patek Philippe: Happy 3998P silver no diamonds owner here for roughly a decade...

I have 6.6" wrists and prefer smaller watches with the 3998P being my smallest. While the watch is small, the dial is not. It is the same size as the dial of my 5711/1A. I use the 3998P no matter what I am wearing and wouldn't trade it for a 39mm 5227 or similar. Not a fan of large empty dials. The

The Mark XV is probably the only watch I will never sell. Just got mine back from Schaffhausen after 20 years of happy ownership and quite a bit of abuse over the years.

Patek Philippe: Between the two 5726 for me but in reality I'd get 5711/1A white if you like white ...

I don't like how any pushers change the shape of the Nautilus case. This leaves 5726 but I'd get 5711 white instead due to the cleaner look and 3 mm thinner case (8 mm vs 11 mm). On the 5276 I'd much prefer a date ring a la 3448/50 over the date window plus 24 h ring which I find quite useless. This
