Intricate with decent Lume

The 5172 achieves a rare feat of intricacy and a good amount of lume at the same time. The 5320 also achieves it but most models with a lot of lume look..well.. blunt.
I love wearing an aquanaut but it doesn’t have the same intricacy.
Then you have quite a few models like the 5960 and 5961 with a tiny bit of lume but not really enough to be useful. The 5172 is truly useful at night and by day looks (as shown in your photo) spectacular!

Casual Friday a la Patek

Do you have (non-sports) Pateks you wear casually? ...  

That's a really nice shot ...

of a watch I've been on the fence about for a while but your picture gives it a perspective I've not seen before, one which I like! Great watch!

...and yes, occasionally this one. Though admittedly I am too lazy to set the date πŸ˜‰ Have a good weekend all! Best, Jan ...  

Almost any yellow gold Patek with a brown strap will wear casual - at least my old calatravas are, as well as the VC's.

Only the lighly barock VC 6394Q is giving me a hard time at casual . But this is a great combination here - I always find it harder to wear white gold casual, esp. with a black dial. Regards, Stefan

My 5110 is casual wear only!

The 5212 is *definitely* made to be casual.

Of course you can dress it up if you want to, but you're wearing it the way it was meant to be worn.

Nice one.

The 5146g works well as a crossover casual piece. Cream dial and brown strap. Blue strap would be good too. And the 5146g/p with the slate dial works well as a casual watch too. ...  

Today I worn this piece

All of them.

Two great shots of great watches!

I particularly like that textured strap on the 5146. Who made it?

Thanks a lot!

 
 By: Watchlover42 : July 4th, 2021-13:21
Both straps are from "A Collected Man"! Like them a lot. Unfortunately after BREXIT not so fast and easy to acquire anymore

Thanks!

No change for us in the USA, though: it was slow before, and it's slow now.
