Nicholas,
Thank you. My wife gave it to me for my birthday a year ago, knowing I'd craved it but had found myself unable to pull the trigger because of a Patek-only vow.
To my surprise and delight, it has received a significantly disproportionate share of wrist time ever since, competing with a 5980 as the easy decision of the day. Whether this is due entirely to the watch or more to the sentiment is impossible to say.
