more and more so.....
.....i find that a relationship with a watch needs time on the wrist to mature. It is only after really experiencing it in different environments that a proper appreciation can develop. I am going to write a post about just this theme.....in fact I already have.....just tweaking it.
13 years is a good amount of ownership time! Your first Patek as you said.
I am just 8 years now with my first....so still just starting!!
Patek Philippe 5110P in Boston
Deciding what watch to take on travels can be tricky. Much depends on what type of travel. If I am going swimming or up in the Alps, I will tend towards a watch that is more robust and definitely waterproof. On the other hand, if i am going to a city, I w...
Nice ode to a very special watch ! One thing I don't understand...
...is how did you manage to resist that long to the P ? 😉 That version is simply... WOW. Superb pics btw, I think the one I prefer is the one in Trinity Church. That what a very nice trip with your son and you took just the right watch my friend 😉. Cheers...
The right watch
I like the idea of the boys trip and every place you visited is a trip on its favorite picture is the one with the converse cup of tea and how I like to be dressed most of the time. I hope you enjoyed your Boston,The watch I have no doubt. Best, Ahmed
Hey Ahmed.....
.....that was my favourite shot too. Shows the ability of the watch to dress down as well as up. Time spent with family is always special......this trip was one of my favourites ever.
Great to hear that you enjoyed it
I always dress watches down not up😄I rarely wear formal. Best, Ahmed
Yes.....
.....that is my style too. I wear a suit only if going to a nice restaurant with my wife.....and even then more likely to be jacket than suit. Other than that....always jeans. I suspect that influences what type of watches i like too..... I do like watche...
That's why the watches you just stated
Are on my list,It's just a matter of time I believe and managing cash. Best, Ahmed
Very nice Joe! :-)
My second favourite world timer of all time (and I am including the enamelled pieces too which are a tad too large for me) after the 5110R! Great choice to travel with
We agree on many things, about the 5110P, Joe.
The fact that the 5110P is certainly one of the finest Travel Watch. The fact that you can wear it formal or casual. Your " chill shot " is just top. And the fact that you need to wear a watch for quite some time before being able to fully appreciate it. ...

Beautiful world time, Joe. Also like your photos.
I'm still considering 5130P because of its larger diameter of 39,5 mm but I'm always very reluctant to buy pre-owned watches. Best, Volker
Pre-owned watches open up an area of collecting that is richly rewarding....why are you reluctant?
About 40% of my watches are modern with 60% vintage....i love the added-value that each genre brings.
I have the same problem with cars etc.
I need to break through this mental barrier, and maybe watches are a good starting point. 🤔
I think there is security in modern cars and modern watches.....
.....it provides some margin of safety in purchase. To be honest, its also usually a lot easier. Have wallet, can buy. For me, there is a massive satisfaction from the hunt. Finding something that is truly hard to find, where i have researched, evaluated ...
Love Boston
Great watch to take with Did your son like it as well? Did you consider the 5575?
He took a Reverso Gran Sport....over the 5575!
eye surgery back on the table again...
What a meaningful trip with such a meaningful travel watch !
Glad you had a great time and ate delicious food ! Before your post revealing what your son wore, I thought for sure that, for his graduation trip, he would have worn a Worldtime watch as well. Perhaps another trip then. Cheers, Gordon
He loves his Gran Sport......
.......i guess at 21, I would have felt conspicuous in a WT too......
Good too see you are giving your 5110 P a good trip! :)
Looks like the perfect travel companion! Best Blomman
