Yesterday I drove in Finland
with my Maranello FIAT wearing my 5450P. Nice combination. Today morning I took from the safe my daily beater and when leaving home, I took Porsche 911 Targa GTS. What a fantastic combination! I found some old pictures from April. What is your favourite c...
Nice watch, but the car gets the checkered flag!
Love the Porsche GTS...one of the last of the great naturally aspirated Porsches. Cheers, John
Yes, the engine is wonderful and very responsive.
Plus Akrapovich exhaust pipes made the car noisy enough. Best, Kari
My favourite fun
is to change to smaller gear and accelerate when I see a granny crossing the road. That's the end of limping and they start to run! Yes, the sounds are quite massive. Best, Kari
Kari's here's my watch and car pics.
This BMW Z3 6 cylinder rocks coupled with Nautilus makes driving pleasant. Cheers. ...
Mine is smaller engine 2 lt only.
Still got punch on the road. Yours is a joy to drive and its approaching super car status. Cheers.
I did not realize that BMW made an inline-6 cylinder in 2 liters.
They are so good at building I-6 engines that I'm sure it's got plenty of punch. Cheers, John
In the past 2 litre engine
in cars like 320 and 520 were 6-cylinders. Wonderful engines. Best, Kari
Kari,You know what you are doing to me right?
These pictures are killing me,Although the I can\'t get the platinum heft out of my mind for the blue dialed I tried in London,This one with the strap is a killer. Best, Ahmed
Ahmed, you have already 911
and now you just need 5960. Any version is good! If you will buy 5960/1A, I'll organise you the strap made-to-measurements. Best, Kari
Thanks. And it's not only the strap...
A Patek folding clasp makes this strap version of 5960A very nice. Best, Kari
That is a huge question!!! And could take a while :-)
But as example: 3800s in a Land Rover Defender 5960/1a in the Porsche 991 Turbo S cabrio or silver MB G63 AMG 1509 with the Porsche 356 cabrio (no picture yet sorry) .... ...
Wonderful watches. Wonderful cars.
You are a true purist JC. Enjoy your passion. Cheers. .
For sentimental reasons
My preferred combo is my TVR Chimaera 5000, and 1971 Rolex Oyster - both silver and blue. The watch I still have, the car had an unfortunate embrace with a London bus....sniff.
This one was.
A sunny Sunday morning. Me stationary. Bus ploughed into me. Bus driver high as a kite (on khat). Couldn\'t even remember his name when asked by the police. TVR totalled, but the massive 5l V8 saved me....
Could you also PM me?
I am seriously close to buying one, but really dislike the bracelet.
Truly, your pictures inspired me to get the 5960/1A....
.... And I regret not seeing your pictures earlier! What a combination....
nice watch and strap
your supplier should thank you for modeling the strap! they will get lots of order. I passed on the 5960 because of a car purchase.
Definitely improved by the strap
I've never quite 'gotten' the three windows at the top of these style Pateks... however, this steel model achieves the best cohesion of design in my humble O. Great pics and 'intriguing' watch!
The day, date and month are very easy to read from this dial.
Add a sophisticated chronograph with 12 hours counter and you get a perfect every days watch. I'm having the strap made to my measurements and I have it with Patek's folding clasp. The result is basically a perfect watch. Best, Kari
