Hi All, recently I had the honor to have a 1x1 GTG with cbb !! She is a true PuristS In that sense that she is a down to earth and friendly person with a tremendous passion for her watches, especially Patek !

Her posts to honor her late father and his passion for watches typify the Patek slogan of Patek watches get passed on to following generations.
Furthermore, cbb knew that I am an enamel “lover and slave” and kindly brought her 5231J for me to inspect and wear ! The 5231J is very well made because Patek’s enamel making techniques have improved since 2008 when 5131J came out. On the other hand, the 5131J has more vibrant colors while 5231J’s colors are more subdued. Hence, both are excellent references, and one’s preference depends on how bright an enamel dial he/she wants.
Hope you enjoy the photos and let me know what you think of both references.
Cheers,
Gordon

But she always comes off as a down to earth enthusiast. She honors her dad and their shared passion. Her posts are always a pleasure. I’m also jealous of all the travel she gets to do. 😜
I don't think there was ever any doubt about her passion for watches...

in fact, I think it is the opposite. I also caught the bug from my father who is a collector and happily still with us although father time is creeping up on him I do not post much due to personal reasons but I can honestly say that some of the most enjoy...
They hard enough to read without making it smaller...

I thought the J was better than expected but really does nothing for me....still a 5131 lover and white gold metals for me...that's just personal preferences. The 5131 sister wrist much better than 5575 and 5231 for reason
