Answer about Rolexes:
Oct 06, 2014,09:27 AM
Hi,
I bought a new white dial Daytona, blue Yacht-Master and the Batman. In addition two vintage plexy Rolexes and a semi-vintage GMT. At the moment I'm working with two more vintage Submarines. Difficult task because I want to get my watches with box and papers...
I also love Pateks. However, I have also started to wonder... The new ones can be easily bought with quite a big rebate and when I compare with critical eye some of my Pateks with other watches, I can't help but it comes to my mind that the brand name is representing a huge part of the "value". Lovely watches anyhow...
Best, Kari

As you know, I don't speak French and do not really catch "Paguet". However, like I told you already in early summer, my posts were not accepted by the system. At the same time you Daughter #4 has kept me quite busy...All the free time goes in the forest ...

Next to our house we have a wild beach are before the sand beach for swimming. Anne's favorite thing is to go for a walk to the beach - with a bit of imagination we can see the horizon of Helsinki 46 nm north. Best, Kari ...
Thanks to you Oliver I'm back.

I could not post anything for over 3.5 months because my account was somehow blocked. With you kind help it was opened today again. I guess I learned the lesson... The account might be blocked if I say something nasty. Best, Kari
Thanks Ovi

For me it was a high time to expand. This Breguet is indeed something very special. Best, Kari
I do not really get one point:
By: dr.kol : October 4th, 2014-14:10
It seems that Breguet is quite under valued in this forum. I have read comments type "the movement would be better behind solid back", etc. Most of Breguet movements are nicely finished and often the dials are spectacular. Furthermore, the history of Breg...
Big congratulations

because of your 1,000 posts! Best, Kari
I agree, and it's great to hear from you again!

I have a 3337 for ten years, and I think the movement is spectacular. I love your new addition especially in white metal. Yes a Breguet is needed in a collection Best, Joe ...

I enjoy a lot Patek's cufflinks, especially Golden Ellipse with matching watch and Nautilus ones with my 3712. I have also ordered for my new Breguet matching cufflinks from Breguet's collection. Tonight I had to choose something matching with the color o...
Been awhile Kari!

Missed your post and great to see you back! Agree Breguet is under appreciated here. My Marine makes me smile each time I wear her :) Recently I got a Nautilus but the Breguet Marine dial and blued hands are so special ! Yours look superb with your PP cuf...
Welcome back Kari !! and nice combo of ...

... Patek cufflinks with a Brequet watch = interesting mix and match !! Brequet is excellent in the guilloche dials and I just love the "coin" case engraving. Swatch has revived this brand well, along with Jacquet Droz. Hope your 5131 has seen its fair sh...
Thanks Gordon,

to be honest, all of my PP have pretty much resting for months. I am in a way back to where I was 30 years ago: I enjoy going to the shower wearing the watch, I enjoy when I do not have to be careful with the watch. In short I have been enjoying wearing d...
Curious About Rolexes
By: patekova : October 6th, 2014-08:06
Hi Kari, Welcome back! Like yourself over the last few months between summer heat/humidity and spending more time with my young daughter during her summer recess from school, I found my self putting the Pateks aside most days and wearing steel Rolexes. Th...

Are contemporary Pateks falling out of favor with some collectors?
By: patekova : October 7th, 2014-14:23
Hi Kari, Thanks for your reply. It is interesting to me that a very nice collection of stainless steel sport Rolexes can be purchased for the price of one Patek Annual calendar. For me, while Patek is Patek, I sense that some formerly fervent purchasers o...
Thank you for your thoughts.
By: dr.kol : October 7th, 2014-23:06
It is true that with the price of a new PP annual calendar, it is possible to buy i.e. a nice collection of modern Rolexes. The price is, like you stated, one thing. The other one is (more as a question): how special the modern standard Patek movements ac...
Totally blocked for some 15 weeks...

I did probably something wrong and now I have suffered to punishment. I just wonder why my wife is still blocked. But on the other hand, it's just great if somebody can close her mouth for a while... (: Best, Kari
Thank you Count!

I find this Breguet really something special but what else one could expect from a 200 year old design. Furthermore, it's stunning together with my wife's Reine de Naples. Best, Kari
Was also away for a while...

That's a nice combo with the bespoke shirt and cuff links ! It's always nice to be back in a forum we have all grown to love!
