My pleasure, glad I was able to give you some different feedback. The strap is indeed a lot for a watch -- I don't change it all the time like other friends do but I think it's critical to get it right, as it can totally change the look of your watch...

Here's for instance my 5124, not the most lively watch on its own, especially with the original strap that came with it to match the salmon dial...So upon purchasing it (many years ago), my AD and I ordered from Patek a flashy red strap for it, which I LOVE! ;-)

Today I brought it back home after a veery long time to enjoy it for a while... Here's my choice for it, which I'll hardly ever change

Enjoy your beautiful 6119, and please let us see your new strap choice when you receive it! ;-)

Getting into the Patek world

So I've always wanted to get a Patek since I started my journey in the horological world. Back then my choice was between VC 85180 rg and Patek 5119R, I bought the former as I think it's much more to my taste than the 5119. Fast forward I've learned so mu...

buy what you like and what you rocks your boat. Ignore the reviews and the 'experts'. You are the best expert when it comes to expending your hard earned money. The 6119 is a good watch if you have a large enough wrist to wear it. The long lugs coupled by...

Listen to your heat, and don't give so much importance to others' advice or opinion. Enjoy!

The hobnail bezel is really nice. I’ve never owned a watch with a hobnail bezel but I think there might be one of my future. It exudes class. Where in the best of health. Congratulations.

I remember your first post a few weeks ago, hence my sincere congrats now on making a knowledgeable decision and settling on this superb, new generation Calatrava! ;-)

Honestly, I'm glad you trusted yourself better than a "watch circle" that "absolutely destroys Patek" or thinks that "Lange is all the fire"....While I love original circles, if you want to start building an important watch collection with your money, I'm...

Thanks FabR!

Though im sure I will get it in the end, but your insight made it more comfortable to make that decision. I'm loving every second of it except... The strap 🙈. Personally think the colour is a little too conservative and the cracks doesn't look as nice as ...
