Patek Philippe

Thanks Sam, when are you taking a break on

PAM and move on to the dark side? It's dark, now my 3rd Patek and I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just yet

I'm sort of moving towards hand wind with a nice center sweep second hand pieces now.

I have piece being delivered to me tomorrow, it's "Patek grade" from the East!!!! and naturally another Hand Wind Center sweeper. I'm all excited about it but I'm stuck here in Jakarta so it's a short painful wait nonetheless

Cheers

Mech.

Finally, a nice Hand Wind Center Sweep Gem!

I asked many and learned the hard truth how and why Patek doesn't make a simple and elegant Hand Wind piece with a center sweep no more and I thought my only alternative is the Richard Lange, a watch I very much would like get if the case is a tad smaller...

Who could resist such gem

Yes CL, charming it is!

It exudes that warm vintage feel. The ticking is pretty audible and I love that! To wind it and see the second hand moves, wonderful. Mech.

beautiful
