After 10 Years I have given into temptation.....
I gave in and finally bought the Patek I have thought about again and again for years. And I'm so happy - she may be shiny, she may be simple, she may be brash but she makes me smile! - How about you? ...
Smart move to give way to your desire. Enjoy.
Best wishes on your watch purchase. Geross
I think it’s the first time I see a Neptune 5085/1J-012 in gold and black dial 😳
It’s much rarer than the 011 for me. Well played 👍 Big congratulations for this new Patek. Really happy for you after a so long wait. And warm welcome here by the way. Best wishes Alkiro
I appreciate your congrats - especially from a God of this site!
Mosts 5085's are SS with a Black face and they remain very popular - only occasionally do you see a gold one and mostly with a white face but this has a grey face. Regards
You’re really kind I’m blushing ☺️
You’re absolutely right, with the light, I thought the dial was black but I would say that in grey it’s even better. It works very well with the gold case and bracelet. Very nice. Best wishes Alkiro
Hi again......
......seems there may have only been 100 of the 5085/1J made!! Great catch. John.
As long as it makes you smile...
there is nothing more to add...big congrats. Cheers D
It seems to be your style and that is what counts: justifies 10 years of cravings
Congratulations to a nobel full yellow gold Patek.
Congratulations!
It is an unusual version (especially these numerals) and this is nice to see you have reached acquiring a dream watch of yours! The bracelet looks very comfortable, as other bracelets from the brand are (Nautilus, 5960...). Enjoy it well now Best, Mark
Thanks for comments
Many thanks for all your comments and encouragement. It is a super comfy bracelet and as soon as I put it on it felt at home. She feels like a long term keeper. I have to admit though I have had another watch all these 10 years and haven't been wandering ...
