Dear All, About a year ago, I wrote about the arrival of my / my wife's 7200R with "matt pearly beige" strap. patek.watchprosite.com Finally, I convinced my wife to take off the watch and let me put on the brown strap so that I could wear it for a...
your wonderful responses shall be shown to my wife so that I can take back possession of "MY" 7200 !! If she has an issue with it, she will have to deal with my French speaking Master Yoda !! Cheers, Gordon
From the beginning I had a weakness for that watch ... ... and with a brown strap like yours it is even more addictive. I like it a lot that you give it a try. Thanks to your generous wife, this is possible. Best, Oliver ps: ... the movements fits just pe...
With the dark brown strap it will be a watch more for a man. Its a unisex watch imo. The original light strap would fit a female , definitely more girlish. Cheers Geross
Gordon, Thanks for sharing these pictures. You demonstrated that an elegant dress watch is timeless. I would not hesitate to wear either one of these beauties either. Allen ...
lovely and stylish + super high class !! With a brown strap, I would love to try it on my wrist and hear the ding ding ding !! Just dreaming !! LOL :-) Are these yours or your wife's ? Cheers, Gordon
and my wifes choice would be the simple case (no diamonds) with a complicated movement. She prefers complicated, but maybe that´s why she agreed to marry me :-) If I could afford the complicated watch(es), at least I could share with her ... Great watches...
Thank you Gordon. I like the 7200 and never dared to ask the question that you are asking. Its style is simple, yet perfect, and it resembles the (unreachable) 5339. Now you make one dream of mine getting a bit closer ... Regards Abdullah
dream comes true soon !! This forum is meant for all types of questions and so please do not feel shy to reach out to other PuristS. On a sensitive topic, PMs always work well and I have gotten honest, unbiased and useful advice from others. Looking forwa...
Until about 20 years ago, Patek used to produce a men's watch that looked remarkably similar to the 7200R, the 3820R (sorry I do not have a photo of this watch)which was a manual winding watch with the ultra flat caliber 177/02 and that watch was only 32m...
a rose gold case matched with a black strap ? IMO, it downgrades the appeal of the overall look. In terms of officer case, how about the below reference with Brequet numerals (although also has sweeping seconds hand and a date window) ? Cheers, Gordon 515...
It is just a matter of taste/style, isn´t it. 5153 "Beijing" - Yes, it comes with a date and center seconds as well. A date at 3 works better for me, but still I would prefer it without date, without center second and a manual movement instead. But it is ...
music to my ears because it will give me more ammunition to convince my wife why "HER" 7200R should have a brown strap and strapped to my wrist !! LOL !! Also, yes, the 5575 has been sitting on my wrist quite often since mid December and now it realizes c...
Calatrava 5053 that has the some lugs and similar bezel/body shape as well as brequet numerals, but not in gold but painted. It is a men's watch and slightly bigger than 7200. That one has date at six o'clock and a second hand. It has caliber 315 SC beati...
The first time I saw this watch, I thought : why don't they do the same for men ? After thinking a little bit, I came to the same conclusion as yours : with an other strap, it could fit perfectly for me ! The greatest problem, believe me, is your wife : I...
seems to go today...wear what fits you ,,I own the calatrava 3919,, which is 33.4mm ,,by todays standard would be considered a "womens" watch,,just because of the diameter... but during the 30's this was the norm,,,,I am so happy that such a prestigeous w...
... proud that I introduced my wife to this watch and that she loved it !! She loves it so much that I do not get enough wrist time. :-( I understand and agree with your comment about the sizes being smaller back in the 30s. To me, in additional my love f...
