I think we get too worked up about seeing watches
May 19, 2019,18:33 PM
At AD's and then we bitch when there are 8 year waiting lists. Production runs vary during the year which means that you will have a surge of deliveries at certain times of the year. No different to any model. These arent £16000 nautilus but £60k and I wouldnt be surprised they move a it slower. Anyway I remember phases when you couldnt go past an AD without seeing a 5159 in every metal in the window or even a 5327...not so.much anymore...there is no waitlist at my AD for it but you will still have to wait until the next batch arrives...this isnt quite like a 5960 which sat for years on shelves

Unexpected encounter
By: nafetS : December 15th, 2018-11:52
A 5320 on display at a local ad. Sorry for the Bad quality, it's cold. Is it more readily available now or just one of these rare occasions? 5170P was also on display. ...
It is a very nice pp calendar

I would not have thought that it would stay rare or even unobtainable. More surprising is the 5170 P, I suppose.
I Like the Watch

I was offered one earlier this year at an AD in California. After trying it on and seriously considering the purchase, I did not go through with it. For my tastes, the watch is just too big. Ultimately, I purchased a 3970 j instead. I have been very happy...
I can only consent

It would have been a formidable watch in 36 mm or even 38 mm, if it has to be bigger. You have made a much better choice. Any picture of it?
Here it is Count,

My antidote to the 5320. A “common” version of the 3970j. I really enjoy this watch. ...
Totally agree

3970 is a true classic. Perfect aesthetics and movement. If you have the choice between current production and this historical masterpiece the decision seems clear...
Sad to see...

AD in Rome

Had one (at least) as well. I pre ordered one, but when I tried it, it was too big for my wrist...
This seems to become a bigger problem for ADs
By: nafetS : December 16th, 2018-02:11
I‘ve already heard this from 2 ADs, that tons of people make preorders for new releases and then back off, when the watch is available. It seems that hype is moving faster, than the output of the watch companies.

at best. The ultra low production masked this for a while. This to me appears to be an incredible movement. Why they brought it out in 40mm with all the retro and lume is anybody's guest. When this movement is cased in Patek DNA design it should move much...
Somehow Patek lost

theor feeling for timeless design (mostly the case sizes are all too large).
the interest in non-sports watches is currently almost non-existent.
By: Peter : December 16th, 2018-06:03
my AD has offered the 5320G to me at 10% discount and still negotiable. 5235G even lower and 5170P at about 12% off. still, money-loosing propositions....actually, the only 'dress-watch' that interests me currently is the 5270P and to make the deal work i...
There is no such thing as a dress watch and a sport watch
By: COUNT DE MONET : December 16th, 2018-09:08
Dress watches can be worn to any apparel if one has the ability to combine (no offence to you!). Sports watches have got far too delicate movements, including Rolex movements, in order to do serious sports AND are source for injuries, too. So: no sports a...
Not at all.
By: Wristenthusiast : December 16th, 2018-13:08
I think we are all just being a little cheeky. My point is what ever the moniker a brand decides to bestow upon a certain model, to me they are all either watches I can swim in or I can’t. I played ice hockey and would never wear any watch while doing tha...
Not surprised at all

This watch is staggeringly overpriced--like all Pateks (but that is their identity and market-position) however, I do like this model quite a lot... I'm personally happy to see it plummet... to the price and position it should be. the case is really lovel...
Probably won't plummet ...
By: Mean Solar Time : May 19th, 2019-09:31
... very much since at the end of the day it's still a Patek perpetual.
