Patek Philippe

Friends, Most of the “old-timer’s” here may think of me as a Jaeger-LeCoultre collector, more recently I have been hanging a lot in the Girard-Perregaux forum… Now at my 30.000 post I thought I should come and introduce myself here in the Patek Philippe f...  

A fitting way to start the next 30,000 posts. However, I am now worried. Arie just pointed out that, as you enter PP, we might not be able to find them anymore...

I knew you like that guy more :p

It was Mr. D. I got my wires crossed again. Seems to be happening a lot today.

And glad you like me more than Arie

Before it's too late.

When everything goes, the real estate prices will be a great target. Besides, I have just been. And I have to go again in September. Maybe I can make a pit stop in NYC, time permitting.

that's why I wait for RE opportunities. It will be... tremendous.

Maybe you can buy my house.

If not, obviously, not enough gold.

😂😂😂😂

Will not go very deep...! Thank you! Best Blomman

day that PP collectors will remember...nothing more to see guys blomman entered world of Patek and you are entering the world of pain Glad you will know how we GP aficionados feel and JLC before that Been here through both "eras" of blomman's collecting a...

Will try to take better shots to show the blue Guilloche! Best Blomman

and welcome to PP world. The 5110P is an excellent choice, high on my wishlist.

Also very happy for your PP, looking forward your next post in PP forum

But I do have some ideas...! Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman

Believe me: the folding clasp is perfect on the wrist but you need to have just the right length strap. The locking mechanism is quite bended and in case the clasp is not sitting perfectly on your wrist, it's a devil. Pated knows my wrist measurements and... 

Thank you! Will send you PM. Best Blomman

When I'm at home tomorrow, I'll check which colours I have. You can the choose. Mvh, Kari

& the 30K posts of course!! And...ehmm....does this mean you will be getting all the museum quality vintage Patek's now??

Still working on my JLC and GP museum! Thank you! Best Blomman

last photo is my favorite. Best, Ahmed

Thank you for the great work as a moderator.

Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman

my Friend, Blomman! Huge congrats for the two milestones: you flew into the Patek's world and reached the 30 k range! I think the price of the watch was also around the same range... You made your choice very well, I think this is THE worldtimer watch fro... 

Thank you, my friend - no need to shiver! Best Blomman

that was that look in your eyes, that meant you will get it, just a matter of time. One of the finest modern World Timers, a special events watch Congrats for doing the right thing, the only thing...rewarding yourself for 30k posts CC

Thank you - correct, no way out! Best Blomman

Huge congratulations for that and for being a. cornerstone of our small and vast horological world! There is so much to learn from blomman and so much fun to have with him. I remember your discussions with the Mr. PP in Zagreb. Now you have a wide new ran... 

Yes, a new field to explore! Best, my friend Blomman

Congratulations again Blomman!

Yes, I think a good match, 5110 and 30.000! Best Blomman

What else than one of the nicest blue dial for Mr. Blue. A splendid timepiece you own there. I wish you all the best for your next 30K posts 😉 Best wishes Alkiro

Yes, unavoidable! Thank you, my friend. Best Blomman

30k posts is no small feat, lots of amazing contribution over the years. This 5110P is quite an amazing entry point for a first Patek. Excellent choice! With regards to folding buckles I personally don't always find them comfortable but PP tends to make s... 

Yes, the buckle is a minor issue. Best Blomman

great watch and very nice shots

30K posts! Amazing. And all so entertaining and educational. I'm looking forward to reading 30,000 more! As for this post: great watch and you managed to get two iconic Blomman shots in as well. Big congratulations!

Thank you, dear Padj! We will see what the next 30K will bring... More classic "Blomman" shots?! Best Blomman

Lovely watch to enter PP.

Thank you! Best Blomman

I am afraid for my budget! Cheers and Congratulations on that massive number of posts! Cazalea

Well, I don't plan to... Thank you, Mike! Best Blomman

Yes, been studding PP for a long time now... Helps when time for decision...! Best Blomman

and very nice post reading as I like learning about how people come to choose their watches etc... You have chosen a watch famous for its beauty and also for its place in the brand's long historical line-up of worldtimers. It looks gorgeous on your last w... 

The "hunt" is a part of the journey, which is a part of the watch! Best Blomman

I think you chose the 5110P for all the right reasons. Having first fell in love with the 5110G myself, owned a 5130, tried the 5230 and decided that the 5110P was my lifetime Patek WT, I understand your reasoning completely. I'd like to add another Patek... 

Cheers that you choose the 5110p world time. A most usefull complication. Geross.

very nice reference, you will love it I'm sure. Cheers Edward

This one really got me! Best Blomman

I always appreciate your contributions. And congrats on the 5110P as well. The 5110 series seems to have become sort of an unofficial Purists watch. It is so well loved around here in all iterations, although the 5110P is my favorite of the group, followe... 

Thank you for your kind words, my friend! Best Blomman
