I made a nice trade today

 
 By: rovermark : February 4th, 2013-20:22
I decided it was time for my Breguet La Tradition to leave my collection. While there was a lot that I liked about it I found I rarely wore it because I felt it had a confused character. The case style is very classical and for me a bit formal. The face, ...  

Welcome to the WT club, my dear Mark!

Yes, you didi well. Not that the Tradtion is not a nice watch, but the WT is a great watch. A.... Wolrd apart. And yes, it is a more versatile character, you will certainly wear it more often. Enjoy, and as I said, welcome to the WT Gang. Best, Nicolas.

Thanks Nicolas.

It is good to have a world timer back in my collection. As much as I liked the JLC Master World Geographic that I used to have a few years ago I found it hard to read. Between a very busy dial and the fact that I found silver hands against a silver dial a... 

The JLC cannot compete with this icon, IMO.

Now, you have a reference in the family of WT watches. Best, Nicolas

It isn't really a world timer to me

It seems like more of a 2 zone travel watch.

There are bad trades and then there are good trades. I love the Patek WT and have the same model as you have. I think it is indeed an icon, very simple to read, very wearable and just a pure joy. Congratulations on what I think is a very good trade! Enjoy... 

Thanks Edmond.

Wear yours in happiness and good health!

Both are nice

Congratulations.........

IMO, you have just got yourself a beautiful Patek. And a complication that has a lot of admirers here. :)

Thanks Topcat.

 
 By: rovermark : February 5th, 2013-02:00
I agree that the world timer is one of the great Patek complications. Now if they would only make a world timer minute repeater......... : )

Indeed you made ...

a nice trade. Nothing is wrong with the Breguet, but it can´t beat the beauty of the PP 5110 in general. More and more I think this "G version" is my favorite world timer from PP - lot´s of character & understatement at the same time. Congrats! Oliver... 

It is funny you use the term understated

 
 By: rovermark : February 5th, 2013-01:53
The Beguet was certainly not understated. It was the only watch in my collection that would regularly get noticed by non-watch people. I don't expect that will happen with the Patek, which is to my liking.

Congrats ! [nt]

Congrats Mark!

Crossing timezones with your world time and the time barrier in your time machine car. Great watch, always been a big fan of the 5110! Congrats!

Thanks Patrick

Somehow I think something like this is more appropriate for a Delorean though: ...  

Touche!

 
 By: patrick_y : February 6th, 2013-10:05
Indeed it is...

I have to admit...

 
 By: rovermark : February 6th, 2013-14:49
I really love that Omega. Red LED display + 1970's funkiness = Hot

I can tell...

 
 By: patrick_y : February 6th, 2013-19:43
Judging by the JLC Master LED... I see the pattern...

That is a possibility

I should know more about my weekend schedule later tonight. I'm waiting to find out if a close friend wants to celebrate his birthday on Friday or Saturday. I'll shoot you a email or call later tonight.
