were probably biting your hand after seeing all of the watches and which one to buy. Probably had nightmares too? Great post with superb photographs. I am very surprised that many of the pieces were scratched. That would be troubling to see.
Thank you for a great report!

I enjoyed when you wrote about your visit to Patek Philippe Salons. I visited there just in the end of March and bought a strap for my 5196P. When I went to an AD to get it assembled, they told me that the other part of the strap is right and the other is...

Great post....go with the 5726
By: daytonaman799 : September 4th, 2012-15:12
It's great...comfortable and versatile. Surpassed no 5726 1/a's. I guess theyarent rolling out yet in quantity.
