...I've to agree with you But at the end that's just the dial and hands........ Case and movement are really nice though! Best Suitbert

Thank you Suitbert, the watch looks thick, do you know

the dimensions of the case yet? For all the NO NO guys, take a looong look at the picture #4 from top. This watch is very nice looking in this color combination. (Maybe its not in other golds...) Carl

The case diameter is 40.5mm, making it "more wearable" than the 5070

and other 42mm and up case sizes. It is not thin, but the proportions are nice (to give you an idea about my concern about "proportion" - I love the 3970 dial layout, but bought, sold (too thick), (regretted it) bought again, then finally sold again, my 3... 

It isn't that thick....

I just loooove this watch. The first time I see a Patek Philippe as a young man's watch. I love everything about it (case, colors, dial, pushers, principles,...). I am sure Doc will find it as legible as I do! I just hope I won't find it too big on the wr...

Mr. Suitbert. BTW, do you know the approximate retail price? Regards, Addi

My pleasure Addi,.....

...don't have any firm info on prices, but heard something around 43k EUR for Europe (please take this with a grain of salt). Best Suitbert

Thank you, Mr. Suitbert.

Bravo to PP for such a "different" design. However, I really have a problem

with all the different colors on the dial (especially the blue and red hand and markers)

An intersting element I find on the movement is that the colum wheel

Yes, the column wheel is unusal.....

...as it is reversed, upside down. Here's a close up: If I may guess, the main reason for this design is "economic use of space". Best Suitbert...  

II - And even more pictures (back/movement)....

Hi all, here some more pictures of the movement side. And I couldn't resist posting two more of the case sides: Best regards Suitbert...

The new caliber is called CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H Chronograph (minute/hour counter) with flyback function,power reserve, day/night indication, annual calendar and automatic unidirectional winding (CCW). 33mm diameter 7.68mm height 28mm diameter of base movem... 

Don't care much for this watch!

 
 By: Greg S : February 7th, 2006-07:19
I think the annual calendar is a reasonable compromise worth considering when one wants to cut costs, and cannot afford a perpetual. But, this will probably be a quite expensive watch. So, having an annual calendar on this watch is like buying a rolls roy... 

Nice photos, but ...

The more I look at this watch the more I

 
 By: jglydon : February 8th, 2006-05:05
am beginning to like it. One major change that I do think would improve the look would be to eliminate the power reserve. I would then move the day/month windows to where the power reserve was located. I think its distracting and difficult to read when th...
