Welcome my brand new 5146R to the family. Notice she is dressed in shiny black for a more faaancy look While undressing her.. I was immediately taken back by her simplistic beauty. The finish is so sharp. The RG really POPS! The fit and feel is perfect.. ...  

Congrats on a fine watch..

that is perfect for your wrist. Discretion with taste and not too showy, it oozes class! I can see you are 'over the moon' with this new addition and I'm sure you will enjoy it and appreciate it more in the years to come. You will also begin to question y... 

Thanks Fernando!

This AC is quite legible as well as an attractive timepiece. With time may you grow more enamored. tempusfugit

Thank you.

Extremely legible. Much more than I thought from the standard photograph from the Patek website and pictures of the G and J I saw. I took a chance on the RG without seeing it in person and there were barely any shots of it on the forums. Couldn't be more ... 

Congratulations

A very fine catch, it looks really nice and I personnally think that you did a great job with the Iphone 4 taking the pictures. Wear in good health. Best regards, George

Thanks George!

The iPhone is all I've got! I should probably upgrade to a real camera sometime. Thanks for the response.

Congratulations.

Great choice. IMHO, the 5146 looks way better in the flesh than any pictures and fits very well on the wrist.Enjoy. cheers,dreamer

OH, BEHAVE! :-)

Very, very well done, mate! Huge congratulations on your Patek! Also very well done to have chosen a dark / black strap as I also often believe that the original strap is not always the right one, necessarily. What a radiant, sublime and noble RG watch! M... 

Thank you Moritz!

The shiny black strap compliments the RG perfectly! Much better fit for the piece than the original matte brown it came with. Changes the watch from a daily to more of a dress piece in my opinion.

BIG congratulation...

... you got yourself, a timeless beauty. Wear it in good health

congratulations

Excellent choice

Well..

It was a toss up between this and the 5140.. I know Perp vs. AC.. no comparison.. however, that didn't matter to me. The clean, legible and beautifully spaced out dial of the 5146 did it for me. I couldn't read the 5140.. the dial was too bunched together... 

Congratulations, bulliondesk!

A fine piece you've acquired! Wears well with your jeans, too! Aloha, Bob

Congrats on the classic Patek!

My hearty congratulations on your choice of AC.........

The 5146 is a great piece and your lovely photos do it full justice. The only thing that photos don't appear to do very well, is show exactly how warm a watch made from RG looks. I have had the pleasure to have owned two 5146 J&G and so can fully apprecia... 

Couldn't have said it better Tony..

The dial of the 5146 is much more legible, crisp, and well spaced compared to the 5140. It was a toss up between the two.. and the 5146 won.. the dial is simply perfect in my eyes. Your right, the RG is so sharp.. I tried on both the G and J without ever ... 

Awesome thread!
