I got the strap with right dimensions
and it feels quite good. It's amazing how readable the watch is. Best, Kari...
It's Patek's strap
and this is the original colour. Patek made me also two others and all in a funny length 123 x 83. The right dimensions are very important because then the deployment buckle is fitting perfectly and there is nothing more comfortable. In Patek Salon they k...
Don't you just hate it when ...
the deployant buckle sits off center under the wrist? The problems we have to put up with sometimes. ;-) Aloha, Bob
The depmoyant buckle
is 100% on the right place when the strap is of right length. Best Kari
Aloha Bob!
I came 24 hours ago from London and Geneva and now I am already in Finland. Will reply your mail tomorrow regarding all schedules. The old bones are making some tricks and need to visit the doctor on regular basis. I can only imagine how it is in your age...
You don't have to imagine ...
actually, these old bones of mine are telling me they ARE old. LOL Been taking some glucosamine since I started jogging ~ again. Ahhhh, the price to pay for being a sage. Aloha, Bob
I am sure that the Hawaiian sun
has boiled your bones soft during all those decades. Best Kari
That's how the watch was originally released.
I have also black, burgundy, reddish brown with contrasting stitching... But I got the watch just a bit over a month ago, broke it out from the sealed packing immediately but got the right straps only yesterday in Geneva. Best, Kari
just got mine as well :)
I just ordered from HSWA in NY. Tracy also gives great service. She knows the size of the strap when I gave my PP5550 and made me choose from the original to the wilder? colors. I also got the original. It's look like a great watch, makes me want to buy o...
It s still possible to buy an unused 5450.
I found mine double sealed and with open papers and during the search project I found a couple of great specimen. Why to buy the strap in S, L, XL, etc? It's costing just the same to get a bespoke strap. Best, Kari
Hi Kari, how much?
I am not to keen on buying as I just got the 5550. Just curious at the price. please PM when free. thanks! Benz
Advance Research
5450 Advance Research, what a killer watch, Timeless Thanks for sharing
Thanks. The dial colour
reminds me what the babies produced to their nappies. Best, Kari
No big deal Arie
This is just that I don't think this word is really nice to put here and for people to read. Thanks.
Work is sometimes so unpleasant
that something nice is needed to feel balanced. Best Kari
I have the chance to have a job that I love... and which gives me the opportunity to buy watches so I am happy even if, of course, it could be boring sometimes
As you mentioned, little pleasures are very important to well balanced your life. I think we are even so privileged people. Best wishes Alkiro
great combination Kari
.Not so easy to match with the dial font and indexes colors. I like your choice. Have a nice day. Best, Patrickh
Please post a photo with both for our pleasure too ;-))
5550P dial allows more combinations and your brown strap fits very well. Best, Patrickh
Fits you nicely Kari.
I agree its very readable. A good watch with a very useful complication. Cheers. Geross.
Interesting watch and color combination...
My favorite metal as well,Suits your wrist a lot I will have to ask to see too many watches for next time. Best, Ahmed
Indeed, 5450 is a superb watch to wear
and I start to get used with the colour. Best, Kari
Such color combination should really be seen in the metal imho
to get totally. Great job and enjoy your new watch now Cheers, Mark
Some 24 hours on the wrist
and the watch started also to look stunning. The colour is first a bit weird, then it feels special and finally cool. Best Kari
Very very
sophisticated.... Fantastic watch and color combination Enjoy it and wear it in best health! Best, Thomas
I think 5550P is much more sophisticated
but 5450P is more useful as an everyday watch. Best Kari
Beautiful patek!
I have the 5146J ardoise dial, the annual is my favorite watch right now.
Thank you. Once or twice
you have praised 5450. I did not totally understand why because it is "just" an annual calendar. Anyhow, I start to get it. I do not have, as an example, any other Patek which would be easier to read. Also the size, thicness and weight are very pleasant. ...
Hi Kari, the strap matches the dial...
very well ! An usual and well coordinated color combination ! This reference is the advance research limited edition of 300, right? Cheers, Gordon
That's true. I wanted to get a sibling
to my 5550P, the other platinum Advanced Research. It was good luck that I found a new, sealed and unused watch 8 years after the reference was sold out. Best Kari
