A last hommage to my 5712
Before she goes...
She deserved it...
3 years of common life, which ends because I have to fund an heavier piece.
The only thing which disturbed me a bit ( but I was able to live with it ) was the moonphase.
If you don't wear on an every day basis the watch, you always have to set the moonphase, which requires to refer to a specific website, to be sure you're on the exact phase.
Except this detail, it was only pleasure to wear it, to own it.
So, Bye Bye the 5712!
And welcome to the new member of the family...
Best,
Nicolas

I think ...
.. the new member of the family will be by far more desirable ... .. a (very) curious Bim ... .. what watch ? what watch ? what watch ? what watch ? what watch ?
will try a wild guess about the new watch...
5070G ... its jst a wild guess as that would be the right upgrade, right timing K.
You know I'm suffering of a kind of ..Malediction with this model...
So, will it be the end of the Malediction? Best, Nicolas
this word keep on coming back...
... nonono Nicolas, there is no such thing as malediction. There is jst good and bad timing. Maybe its the right one for you now I am sure that its the kind of watch that deserves an owner like u, that will appreciate it to its real value. So it must happ...
I disagree my friend.....
you should have kept it.... but the thrill of a new watch... oh lala.... cheers
True....
but I have faith in you my friend.... judging from our taste, I am certain that it would be something that I like...... cheers
And since I know which one is comming
I think you're 100% right , you made the right decission, no doubt about that ! The 5712 is a nice watch (great pics btw) but the ................... is 10 times nicer
Well, now I hope, Jerome...
You know the problem with these watches you 're hunting for a long time... Sometimes, they are nicer in your dreams than in real... Even if I'm quite sure I'm not making a mistake. Thanks for your kind words, Jerome. Will keep you updated ASAP. Nicolas
Well, life goes on, right Nico?
I think we should congratulate you for the continuing journey, as we all go on. Nice photo of the nice piece. Leica? Well, I am interested in that camera, too! Next question is what is next? Enjoy, my dear friend, Nicolas! Ken
A Lange 1815 Moonphase in platinum? :)))
Thanks for your very kind words, KIH... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Ah, I can't blame you for that!
That is certainly, absolutely, one of the very best of Lange's creations. A good friend of mine has one (used to be mine) and he now has placed on order for the NEW HG 1815 MP - interesting combo, I am sure. Again, congratulations. Awaiting for your detai...
Nooo, don't tell me you sold yours???
KIH, I was on to buy the 1815 Moonphase, as I found one for sale in Germany some weeks ago. As I was on to contact the seller, a friend of mine called me to tell me that he just found one ( the one I planned to buy )... Well, he's still a friend of mine, ...
A good decision Nicolas....
someone else will be able to share in the happiness of owning the 5712 and you will be getting what you have been craving for - my suspicion is also the 5070 but in pt. Looking forward to the revelation. The excitement & anticipation builds. Best fernando
And so the guessing continues...............
Nico, I shall look forward (but not, I suspect as much as you) to finding out which piece will be sitting itself upon your wrist. I am sure that your 5712 will go to a good home.
I really hope you're right about my 5712, Topcat.
I love my watches so much that I really hope that it will be the case, and that it won't stay in a safe to expect an hypothetic raise in value. I think you will like my latest catch, but I don't have it at home, yet... Next week, my friend, next week! Bes...
I tried hard to go on the watch which is on your avatar, Fernando
But I fear I' m not able to find and fund one, for the moment... BUT I found something really cool... What can it be... Does it really have ot be a PP? Tsssss... Best, my friend. Nicolas
I just could not
believe what you have done ! ...LOL very sad to part with this lovely iconic Nauty do post and share with us you new found love cheers
Quan, it is always a pain to let go such a piece
But if i wanted to be able to fund this next piece to come, I had no other solution... When you see what I got, you will understand. Well, I hope... Best, Nicolas
Naaah, Le Chef...
It is a piece I runned after for a very long time... " L'occasion fait le larron ", as we say in French. Best, Nicolas
The moonphase is actually my favorite
But setting it is not. BTW, which website are you referring to? Would you please send me a PM?...
Here you are, Dreams
Here's the link for the moonphase, in French. pagesperso-orange.fr If you want it in English, just google " Moonphase ", you will get some English sites. Don't get me wrong, the 5712 is a really nice moonphase, but the setting gets boring, with Time, for ...
Can it not be set...........
using the 'Settings Moonphase' part of the Patek site? It shows the setting for any specific date there. Interesting you are relinquishing your 5712 as I am currently awaiting one ay my AD to view. I have been really taken by that and the 5980 (I like the...
Well, Simon,
I found another webiste to solve the problem of the moonphase setting, so it was ok, but a bit fastidious to have to do it each time you wear your watch after a while... I am not saying that I don't love the Naughty Lus... I even think I will maybe, with ...
Ah yes the 5980...
I really like the new grey/black dial version. I also very much like the look of your 5070. I can understand why you searched for one and jumped on it Simon
If it was someone else...
...I might remind that he's letting go of a PP icon. Since it's you, I just cannot wait to see the new addition. And congrats on the 25K, mon ami, I don't think I've ever seen anyone on any other forum hit that kind of mileage. Your fingers must be in dir...
Believe me, efftee
It is worth it! Thanks for your nice words, my friend. My fingers didn't suffer that much, but the keyboard, and the labtop. 2 Labtops in the past 3 years, and 3 keyboards... Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-03-07 22:47:45
I think
You should not have let go this 5712 because you will no longer wear a fine and elegant sport watch. I understand the attraction you have for its replacement but they do not possibly compare. Beside it fitted you perfect. As for the moon settings, part of...
Well, in terms of rings, we still have a lot between us, actually!
And it is a bit by your fault...when you let me try your 5980, once again, Dédé. I fear that with Time, I'm close to have some Marseille Tastes... Best, my friend. Nicolas
