Thank you
with a growing collection it seems to get harder every year to find something that fills a gap....
Visited the AD…
To see the 6159G and I was rather underwhelmed. It wears small and with my eyesight I wasn’t able to read any of the numerals nor could I really see much of the calibre through the dial. I really thought this would be an addition this year but presumably ...
ALS sales of their transparent dial Lumin series were said to be incredible, makes sense for Thierry / PP to copy it.
ALS is pictured below, might be easier for you to read. Love the big date, especially if you have a desk job or forced to do business paperwork. ...
Thank you

The transparent dial on the Lange makes sense, as it allows the luminous material to charge
It's pointless on the Patek. And I don't find it particularly attractive either.
The gem setting looks incredible on the 5990.
But, as you say, it’s not likely to be a daily wearer! Congratulations to your wife on her new watch. All the best, Jon
thanks
indeed incredible quality of the gems as well as the setting itself... I could see myself with a 5711/p-113 at most
Nice visit!
And blazer. Too bad nothing sang to you but there will be others. Congrats to your wife 👍
Yep, you’re right
Have ordered other brands from w&w - will see if those are better matches
6159 wasn’t my favorite release from this year either.
I do like the green cubitus. It would be my choice if you had to buy something. 😎
The Cubitus and 5990 look great on your wrist.
I warmed more to the Cubitus when I finally tried it on at AD, but I understand what you mean about the shape…it’s just a little too square, but I bet I would warm to it with wear. However, I wouldn’t choose the current version over my Nautilus options. ...
Thank you
Indeed I said to the GM that he is first to deliver a 5726/1a before I take a cubitus 😅
Well played😁. Although if you did request that, I am surprised that you specifically didn’t get one allocated already given your status…
unless the 5726 blue dial isn’t as high production as 5990. But that will be a nice addition.
Sometimes they have a little something stored in the back 😉
But you’re right, I didn’t realize it’s a new request for you. I’m waiting on the strap version myself, which should be much easier than what you requested given most people don’t like it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I had high hopes for the 6159G. Will find time to see it in person.
