Congratulations Mr. Blue
I think you chose the 5110P for all the right reasons. Having first fell in love with the 5110G myself, owned a 5130, tried the 5230 and decided that the 5110P was my lifetime Patek WT, I understand your reasoning completely. I'd like to add another Patek WT .. maybe enamel dial, but I'd rather wait for a new caliber to justify it. Congrats again. Your pictures are terrific.
Post 30.000: Entering the world of Patek Philippe
Friends, Most of the “old-timer’s” here may think of me as a Jaeger-LeCoultre collector, more recently I have been hanging a lot in the Girard-Perregaux forum… Now at my 30.000 post I thought I should come and introduce myself here in the Patek Philippe f...
Congratulations on reaching this milestone, my friend.
A fitting way to start the next 30,000 posts. However, I am now worried. Arie just pointed out that, as you enter PP, we might not be able to find them anymore...
Sorry.
It was Mr. D. I got my wires crossed again. Seems to be happening a lot today.
Why too late?
When everything goes, the real estate prices will be a great target. Besides, I have just been. And I have to go again in September. Maybe I can make a pit stop in NYC, time permitting.
That day has arrived...
day that PP collectors will remember...nothing more to see guys blomman entered world of Patek and you are entering the world of pain Glad you will know how we GP aficionados feel and JLC before that Been here through both "eras" of blomman's collecting a...
Thank you, dear friend!
But no need for alarm! Just here to introduce myself...! Best Blomman
Thank you, Alex!
Will try to take better shots to show the blue Guilloche! Best Blomman
Congrats !
and welcome to PP world. The 5110P is an excellent choice, high on my wishlist.
Congratulation for 30K Blomman
Also very happy for your PP, looking forward your next post in PP forum
That may take a while...
But I do have some ideas...! Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman
Congrats Blomman.
Believe me: the folding clasp is perfect on the wrist but you need to have just the right length strap. The locking mechanism is quite bended and in case the clasp is not sitting perfectly on your wrist, it's a devil. Pated knows my wrist measurements and...
Name and address are fine.
When I'm at home tomorrow, I'll check which colours I have. You can the choose. Mvh, Kari
Congratulations 🎊 on your PP
& the 30K posts of course!! And...ehmm....does this mean you will be getting all the museum quality vintage Patek's now??
Congratulations on both the watch and your 30k milestone.
Thank you for the great work as a moderator.
Dear Mr. Blue,
my Friend, Blomman! Huge congrats for the two milestones: you flew into the Patek's world and reached the 30 k range! I think the price of the watch was also around the same range... You made your choice very well, I think this is THE worldtimer watch fro...
There was no way out after Zagreb GTG...
that was that look in your eyes, that meant you will get it, just a matter of time. One of the finest modern World Timers, a special events watch Congrats for doing the right thing, the only thing...rewarding yourself for 30k posts CC
30.000 is really something
Huge congratulations for that and for being a. cornerstone of our small and vast horological world! There is so much to learn from blomman and so much fun to have with him. I remember your discussions with the Mr. PP in Zagreb. Now you have a wide new ran...
Huge congratulations my friend
What else than one of the nicest blue dial for Mr. Blue. A splendid timepiece you own there. I wish you all the best for your next 30K posts 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
Congratulations !!
30k posts is no small feat, lots of amazing contribution over the years. This 5110P is quite an amazing entry point for a first Patek. Excellent choice! With regards to folding buckles I personally don't always find them comfortable but PP tends to make s...
Wow, Blomman!
30K posts! Amazing. And all so entertaining and educational. I'm looking forward to reading 30,000 more! As for this post: great watch and you managed to get two iconic Blomman shots in as well. Big congratulations!
Education should be entertaining!
Thank you, dear Padj! We will see what the next 30K will bring... More classic "Blomman" shots?! Best Blomman
You induced me and many others to buy a GP; does this mean you will seduce us into Pateks (if not already owners)?
I am afraid for my budget! Cheers and Congratulations on that massive number of posts! Cazalea
HUGE HUGE congrats my dear friend ! For both your 5110 P and your 30 K milestone !

The "hunt" is a part of the journey, which is a part of the watch! Best Blomman

Congratulations on your 30k post. Its but fitting you post here also on the Patek forum.
Cheers that you choose the 5110p world time. A most usefull complication. Geross.
Congrats on both, Blomman......
very nice reference, you will love it I'm sure. Cheers Edward
Congrats on such a big milestone. 30K is a big number.
I always appreciate your contributions. And congrats on the 5110P as well. The 5110 series seems to have become sort of an unofficial Purists watch. It is so well loved around here in all iterations, although the 5110P is my favorite of the group, followe...
Yes, the 5110 P is a forum "darling"!
Thank you for your kind words, my friend! Best Blomman
