NWA: The 5226G. You either love it or hate it.
I fell in love with the 5226G the moment I first set eyes on it in 2022, It was a grail that was always in the back of my mind. I never thought I could get one. That was, until a good opportunity finally arose at last. I haven't come accross many here on ...
Excellent.
This is a very charming watch. I am a big fan of the dial and feel the syringe hands suit it perfectly. Enjoy!!!
Funnily enough, this one is one I “love”.
I like the dial, colour and the texture. I like the matching date window even if I’d prefer none at all. It’s a more sporty iteration, which I also like. Congrats and enjoy it !
It is the nicest field watch in the market.
Great legibility, and phenomenal texture on the dial. Congratulations!
I don’t love or hate this one, just okay to me.
I am more a regular Calatrava guy… even though I don’t own any
I know what you mean. I have had several "regular" Calatrava watches.
I did like/love them, but I wanted something entirely different. This is "different" for sure.
Big congrats Ron ! I love the
textured dial ! Your are correct in that only people in the know, KNOW !
Exactly. We KNOW, and that is what is so fun about this one.
In addition to all the other elements that make it fun and special: textured dial, hobnail side, syringe hands, great color coordination, etc. etc.
Congratulations!
Same for me. Love at first sight. This grained dial is superb. The only difference, I do not own it 😀… not yet… maybe one day. Enjoy!
This is a great stealth watch...
...the best part to me is the hobnail on the side of the case...and it is nice and thin. A great daily driver...
The nobnail is a great design element, I do agree 100%.
Then there are other things going for it: textured dial, syringe, hands, great color coordination, etc.
I love this dial and the syringe hands.
I think it’s a great reference. I agree undervalued. Would love to see it in steel.
It would look very similar, obviously.
But patek does A so rarely that it would be cool.
I understand it would increase the price…
…but I do get a bit peeved at a watch that costs ten of thousands of dollars having a stamped dial…
Patek as a brand rarely appeals to me
despite making some really intriguing cases. So, while generally not a Patek fan this one has long had my attention, and just last week I was browsing them again. It’s a wonderfully designed piece with the hobnail case detail and cantilevered lugs but a 4...
