Patek Philippe:

I suspect Cubitus is the name of a new Marvel superhero OR the erogenous zone of an Amazonian warrior.

Patek Philippe:

Hey, love the watch AND the setting. I lived in Japan for many years. I have a 5167/A and really like that bracelet. Did it come with the watch or is it aftermarket? I much prefer it to the standard steel bracelet for the Aquanaut, which I don't care for. Best regards.

Girard Perregaux: I tried that same watch on at the AD....

2 days ago. Loved it, and it is between that and a Panerai Submersible. We shall see.

I don't do dress watches. I love the Odysseus (I may be the only person who does) so maybe someday.....

Thanks so much. I also like the meteorite Pepsi in white gold, but no one, not my dealer and none of the grey dealers I know could get one. So I gave up and bought a Patek.

God, you have a better memory than me, for sure. Because you are correct with the Platona. Here is the thing about it. People forget that the platinum Daytona was not popular back then and you could get deep discounts, which I did. And after I traded it for this one, maybe 5 years ago (from a dealer

I actually traded my platinum Daytona for this, and cash, because I'm in my 70's and was having trouble reading the dial of the busy Daytona. People thought I was crazy.

Very cool. But I had my watch for years, saw this watch winder advertised when we were traveling abroad, and figured it was fate. They are sold only in France, but they have a bilingual website and they ship internationally.
