AND (CAPS MODE AGAIN) I DONT EVEN HAVE AN AVATAR. REAL MEN NEED AVATAR. Lol. Yang
Should I buy this one? Is the price too good to be true?
Fellow Purists, I have the possibility of acquiring a 5296G with sector dial from a trusted dealer. The price is CHF 16,600 / USD 16,684 and I can obviously look at the watch before I pick it up as I don’t live far away. The dealer had sourced the watch f...
Just follow your feelings ,
Because it came from Moscou it dosnt mean its a bad or wrong watch , you can be scammed all over the world so try it and do some Research and if you are happy then buy it i would say . Its a beautiful watch
I agree, they have the same watches like in Paris or London. But may be for the russian market the watch is too elegant and classic.
This is a wonderfull PP with a beautifull dial 1935 ART DECO style, screwed down case back, very nice movement, this watch is timeless! Best Walter
Agreed.
I have myself bought numerous watches from Moscow dealers, as have some others here. Never a scam so far. But, in the end, it comes down to whether you trust your AD? Because he/she is the one who is selling it to you.
To be honest.. it look like swatch.. and..
if its a trusted dealer as what you said.. then what are you worry about?! But there are many sharks around who look honest.. go and read my lessons if you want. Sincere advice
No hate, just wondering what you meant, perhaps there was some real explanation behind the statement
Or perhaps it was just sarcasm? As the moderator I believe i have the right to ask Because if you have no point in your statements and are just merely making fun if the original post Then I will deal with it accordingly
Nicolas, look at Cpt Scarlet.
I think his comment was referring to me in Timeout afterall.
Imran, to let you know first and with respect, i will write it in a column format in HM within 5hrs from now.
I would also like to know what is the hate that Cpt Scarlet have for me. I hate to write another column but i think he had gone too far with his hate towards me. Yang
Dear Teacher Yang
I would like to humbly remind you that 1. Miranda / Imran is the moderator of this forum and as such is well within his authority and responsibility to set the overall tenor for the specific forum 2. Up to this point, in this thread, he has shown no "hate...
Its fine. Take it its my fault
To close this matter in a quick way might be the best interests for this forum. My last post in HM was even taken down and i didnt put any details inside or even intend to stir something. To be clear.. i am not trying to be funny or create humor when i sa...
please reread my comments, then reread your comments.
to me your comments are a non sequitor. if I am missing something I welcome your clarification. thank you.
Its ok thomas..
You are the founder anyway.. what you say counts.. what we or i say doesnt really matter right.. take care..
I don,t think I was, and never intended to be, disrespectful or dismissive.
if I was, I apologize. again I invite you to clarify. cheers, TM

Never mind thomas..
This matter already spoilt my mood in having fun and posting my column.. maybe i take some time off from here.. if you would like me to post again.. just let me know ok.. Yang..
I haven’t judged or made a judgement, I am at work so no chance to reply
If it was not intended in a bad way, I have no Problem, perhaps the message was lost in intention No worries Best Imran
Imran, i have nothing against you but
you cant say i was being sarcasm.. you can see my reply to thomas.. take care..
Miranda, i hope we have no hard feelings after this.
I took some time to think about it. I think it was just some miscommunication. You wanted to know right. Ok, real men wear rolex, iwc and patek was a phase from another small forum. I dont mean it in a bad way. I dont make fun of members. You can read all...
Thank you
all sorted, no hard feelings from me at all Please enjoy and lets do what we are best at, being a wonderful community Best Imran
Hope my column brought some laughter to you and members here..
Maybe old purists shouldnt come back at all.. take care imran..
Watch subjectivity and humour.
We can all "think" that a watch is or is not acceptable size-wise or what Brand or fashionable or in good taste. We can have our thoughts based on what we believe is a set of accepted, pre-set norms. There are contemporary standards, linked to a certain p...
Thegrailwatch, i took some time and think now. I really dont mean it when i replied to you.
Be it swatch or real men comment, i was not making fun of you. I dont belittle or make fun of others. Real men wear rolex, iwc and patek was a phase from another small forum. You can read from my replies here.
It is here, perhaps, that may need some explanation from you....
When a member posts a watch that he is considering paying a lot of money for and asks for opinion, then, for many people, having another member describe that watch as looking like a Swatch might appear somewhat rude. Then, perhaps, telling that member to ...
Baron, i did not say Miranda cannot question me but maybe people thought i like to joke with others because of my so-called lesson but i am a very serious person and only have other members interests at heart. Some old or new members knew about it.
I am not above anyone. Regarding the real men thing, i said to a cheese thread, magnus, mike for seiko and many more and they took it well knowing i am joking and they also joke with me too. And i know the origin of how the phase started too. And the rest...
Indeed.....
......nor did i say that you did say that Miranda could not question you. I just endorsed Miranda's comments.
Took some time to think. No hard feelings Baron between us.. at least
Now I know you read my lesson 2 and your words saying i do not have bad intentions make me feel better.. not sure will i continue my column.. but thanks for reading.. i love you.. Yang
Subjective objectivity in terms of watches
We can all "think" that a watch is or is not acceptable size-wise or what Brand or fashionable or in good taste. We can have our thoughts based on what we believe is a set of accepted, pre-set norms. There are contemporary standards, linked to a certain p...
subjections objectivity subjects
.is subjectivity the real approach to an objective subject like a watch which is first and foremost an object. We are all enthusiasts and as such we should maintain certain decorum when it comes to objectivfying watches asa objects - thus as they do belon...
That is why on this forum...
...we should actively promote, endore and enforce objectivity and subjective alignment to ensure a fair and amicable debate with objective subjectivity equality.
You're entitled to your opinion ...
... but I think you're wrong. It's a beautiful watch. I will agree with you on your second point, however. I would NOT buy from an unauthorized dealer.
Opinions on watches are usually opinionated
Choices, and questions for choices, should always be made according to the heart and emotions, and according to the facts that are relevant for the person who has to make the choice. To chose between two options, two watches, is a highly subjective matter...
lol
Not according to me. But there are some plastic Patek collectors around who would tell you differently.
Is the price too good to be true?
Looking at Chrono24 I don't think so., there are some cheaper, perhaps without a scratch on the bezel www.chrono24.co.uk m
This is a beautiful Patek. I would definitely buy it.
The price is very good. It’s NIB. Classic watch. Go for it. You only go around once. Any wrist shots?
It's a beautiful watch ...
... but I would NOT buy under these circumstances. Trusted Dealer does NOT=Authorized Dealer.
I bought many watches this way and never had issues with the warranty.
Also, one authorized Patek dealer here in Zurich managed to completely scratch the bezel of my 5711 when performing routine water resistance and timekeeping testing. I say one one thing only. When in Zurich and in search for a Patek Philippe, please do pa...
Happy that you have found a watch you like at a good price ! To protect your purchase, having a...
solid relationship with a trusted dealer is very important. Perhaps you could ask your dealer that the watch be inspected at a Patek service center (or at least at a nearby authorized dealer) to confirm its authenticity?
