your wonderful responses shall be shown to my wife so that I can take back possession of "MY" 7200 !! If she has an issue with it, she will have to deal with my French speaking Master Yoda !! Cheers, Gordon

From the beginning I had a weakness for that watch ... ... and with a brown strap like yours it is even more addictive. I like it a lot that you give it a try. Thanks to your generous wife, this is possible. Best, Oliver ps: ... the movements fits just pe...

With the dark brown strap it will be a watch more for a man. Its a unisex watch imo. The original light strap would fit a female , definitely more girlish. Cheers Geross

It is easy to get used to it ... ... and I worked on it today :-) Cheers, Oliver ...
The dark brown strap looks great on you.

Gordon, Thanks for sharing these pictures. You demonstrated that an elegant dress watch is timeless. I would not hesitate to wear either one of these beauties either. Allen ...

lovely and stylish + super high class !! With a brown strap, I would love to try it on my wrist and hear the ding ding ding !! Just dreaming !! LOL :-) Are these yours or your wife's ? Cheers, Gordon
Not mine.

We were looking at these at the Patek factory. The 7000R both looks and sounds perfect. A dream watch for the ladies.
Now it gets even more dangerous ...

and my wifes choice would be the simple case (no diamonds) with a complicated movement. She prefers complicated, but maybe that´s why she agreed to marry me :-) If I could afford the complicated watch(es), at least I could share with her ... Great watches...
Thanks my friend ...

and yes it was too bad :-( Looking forward to meet you/talk to you soon! Oliver
Very suitable

Thank you Gordon. I like the 7200 and never dared to ask the question that you are asking. Its style is simple, yet perfect, and it resembles the (unreachable) 5339. Now you make one dream of mine getting a bit closer ... Regards Abdullah
Hi Abdullah, may your...

Until about 20 years ago, Patek used to produce a men's watch that looked remarkably similar to the 7200R, the 3820R (sorry I do not have a photo of this watch)which was a manual winding watch with the ultra flat caliber 177/02 and that watch was only 32m...

But if we talk about the ( to die for) officer case ... ... the 3960 comes to my mind. Oliver ...
Hi Oliver, the 3820R is also very delicious !! But why is
By: GLau : January 26th, 2015-10:43
a rose gold case matched with a black strap ? IMO, it downgrades the appeal of the overall look. In terms of officer case, how about the below reference with Brequet numerals (although also has sweeping seconds hand and a date window) ? Cheers, Gordon 515...
"why ... rose gold case matched with a black strap"
By: small-luxury-world : January 29th, 2015-02:57
It is just a matter of taste/style, isn´t it. 5153 "Beijing" - Yes, it comes with a date and center seconds as well. A date at 3 works better for me, but still I would prefer it without date, without center second and a manual movement instead. But it is ...

Calatrava 5053 that has the some lugs and similar bezel/body shape as well as brequet numerals, but not in gold but painted. It is a men's watch and slightly bigger than 7200. That one has date at six o'clock and a second hand. It has caliber 315 SC beati...

the watch with the fine patina of light scratches which I seem to see. They add a lot of character to the watch. It looks great on you.
No problem for me either !
By: dirost : February 4th, 2015-06:27
The first time I saw this watch, I thought : why don't they do the same for men ? After thinking a little bit, I came to the same conclusion as yours : with an other strap, it could fit perfectly for me ! The greatest problem, believe me, is your wife : I...
