very juicy pics and useful advices
thanks everyone for the very useful information.
Phillipgeorge, if I did not read your message wrong, you are saying you can just advance the date by pushing the hole, then day, month will move forward as well? I have a 5960 and a 5140 but since I purchased them, they are always on the winder, I have no real life experience in setting them. The instruction just say we need to set everything one by one in a certain order.
Regards
Practical side of a manual perpetual chrono 5970, 3970
Dear Purist Pro members I have been pondering about acquiring a 5970 or 3970 as my ultimate grail watch and the question of the practicality is always a point to consider. 5970/3970 are hot items and are so well liked almost by everyone, I must admit they...
Practical side of a manual perpetual chrono like PP5970 or 3970
The PP5970 or the PP3970 is not a practical watch for everyday usage. It is manual winding and for watch lovers of this range the likilihood is that u have many other watches in your collection that u would want to rotate. U just can't leave this for more...
FWIW...
1. I wear my 5970 in rotation with a lot of other watches and only on days where I'm quite certain not to bang it around. I'm not brave enough yet to be any more adventurous than to wear it under a dress shirt and suit to the office. As a result, I only w...
Oh GOSH!!!
I just had a heart attack...(thought I saw someone wore a 5970R while swimming)
Living with a 5970P, 5070P, 5960P, 5100G...
In answer to your five questions above: 1. I, too, like to wear my watches and rotate through 6 different models, mainly the first three listed above. (I love the 5100G but the blue dial and small hands make it very difficult to read). So, the 5970P would...
These people do not know their watches. INCREDIBLE
Dear Friend: Patek 5970 and 5971 have a Lemania movement as Vacheron 47112 and 47212. I have both Patek and Vacheron. The only difference between them is that Patek can be set by pushing the button at eleven o'clock to get to the right date and everything...
Great picture
Awesome pictue of you collection, or at least part of it. Watching and hearing that JLC minute repeater must be a wonderful experience every time you move the slide and activate.
That is good info
Frankly I did not understand some of the responses above regarding how difficult it is to set the 5970 if it has wound down for a while. As later responses pointed out, it is an easy process given the pusher that forwards all functions by one day. if the ...
One aspect regarding the practical use of these watches
that you have not asked is reading the information on the dial. As my eyes have aged, I do find it difficult to read the sub-dials, including the date. The 5970P has larger font on the date wheel than the other metals, which I suppose may offset some of t...
