Sometimes to store a mini-collection. All four were fully serviced by Patek in October. The service time was around two months and I also got new bespoke straps to all of the watches. There has been a lot of discussion about the service and service times ...
I like it +++++ Nice to see all 4 together and with hour time from London, Paris & Sydney. Real World Timers. Will be very pleased to read your feelings with each one, in 2017. Best regards, Patrickh
I dare say that the service time of two months was especially for you as you are a VVIP customer plus you did change all the straps! Still, I believe you do deserve the special service due to your brand loyalty! Have a Happy New Year! And by the way, whic...
Just noticed that they also changed all the folding clasps to new ones and I got also a good bunch of spare straps in many colours. Even when I had just one or two Patek, I had nothing bad to say about the service times. I believe that often the delays ar...
They changed all your deployant clasps??!! Did they charge you for it?! In a way, I hope they did but if they did not, I bow to you respectfully and in awe!
But it has happened to me before and Patek changed a worn down clasp. It's a fact that regular clients are treated very very well. But no free samples - unfortunately. Best, Kari
For quite a few fellow purists here, the 5110 is a very well born reference and is appealing in all its versions, even if we all have our favorite. I'm not this kind of collector but this would be my first choice if I wanted to make a complete one. Nice g...
However, with this reference I had a feeling that it is very undervalued and because I wanted something in J & R, I went for this stupidity. Best, Kari
PP is meant to be collected this way Nice quartet I think that next should be 5070 quartet if you already didn't make it All the best in 2017! Cheers D
I have too many full rolls and probably will get just one empty more which I will start filling up slowly. Now I'm getting 2-3 Grand Complications and then I start to be ready with Patek. You never know; I might jump to Hublot next. Best, Kari
If I would add the missing 3 x 5070, the bill would be simply too big. There are too many nice and new (to me) watches and serious collecting is not really my cup of tea. Best, Kari
The coming year will be much easier. Just two Patek are on my list, both Grand Complications. Hopefully Basel will bring nothing too exciting. Best, Kari
..:.by someone who has seen the Basel launches (signed off late summer) that we are in for some treats! Sorry Kari, but Hublot et al will just have to wait.....
Even the current price will motivate the off-shore producers as well as shale oil producers to think about production. I do not believe that OPEC's production cuts will help and it's not likely that Russia will respect the agreed production cuts. I expect...
The 5110 is certainly a reference that one might easily justify owning the set. As you have said, each has its own special appeal. I own the 5110p, and cannot have enough of it. Enjoy them. Look forward to your future observations. Best, Mike
thank you for sharing, can i hear your opinion on the 5110G? How versatilenis this piece for you? And does it compare with the 5110P? Been looking for the good price 5110P but only end up finding the G, thinking if i should look harder or consider the G v...
The G version is better to read and it is more understated. But still, I owned the P for some 7 years even before considerig G. All four are great watches but in some ways P is Primus Inter Pares. Best Kari
