5212 : Was on the fence …
But when I saw it in person, all doubts were vaporized! Looking for other strap options though … any suggestions? ...
Beautiful watch.
Interesting to see the salesman wearing a Rolex while selling a Patek.
I never thought of it that way. You make a very good point.(funny)
IWC has a good point too. I forgot that many watch stores are authorized dealers for many different brands. Maybe all the salesman should be given one watch from each brand they sell. Then change the watch depending on which brand the customer is buying.😂...
Indeed, I guess the safest/most tasteful thing would be to sell a watch while wearing one which is perceived by the client as lower level (either in terms of brand or even model)...
I frankly couldn't care less for myself, but I can *very* easily imagine that some customers on a 62-year Nautilus wait list, who have to settle on a Calatrava, might not be so pleased to see the random salesguy wear a SS Nautilus...;-)) Actually, the Rol...
Interesting analysis Fab.
I totally agree. My comments were partly “tongue and cheek” I honestly do not care what my salesperson wears on his/her wrist. What I care about is the level of service and attention to detail and being treated kindly. Love this forum. Great discussions. ...
Of course, I also see these things (like most others) in a totally relaxed way, also because the salesguy could have meant no harm...But you noted an interesting situation, perhaps with more implications than he himself might think ;-)
Glad the weather is getting better while the restrictions are loosening up significantly in the US...Great weather on its way also here in Italy, though officially there are still some serious restriction, including a 10pm curfew...Tomorrow and Wednesday ...
Congrats, another excellent and very sought-after piece has joined your Patek collection! Simple, original, and looking just perfect on the wrist👍🥂
There are countless many straps that might look great on a 5212 in my view, which you can find at a quick search on our forum or the web. One such option is the following by no less than member...”5212A”😉 www.watchprosite.com Cheers.
Another great pick-up after the aquanaut chrono ! Huge congrats!
You are on a roll ! What is next ??
Huge congrats 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I believe it's gonna be a strap monster. You can pair it with almost any color: blue, grey, olive green, light moss green, tan, taupe, brown and many more I personally think smooth calf & nubuck will do best as the dial is kinda busy. Experimenting is one...
Congratulations on this beauty!
You can play with many different color combinations that suit your skin tone and taste. I went with white and am happy with the result. Good luck with your choice, looking forward to seeing the result. ...
