The influence of some.

Dec 17, 2014,18:40 PM
 

I have read with passion and enthusiasm the many watches presented by this prolific poster ( you know who I mean). IMO there's none more prominent and famous as this one, which recently celebrated it's ten year anniversary with the Man. Now most of you will know the watch I'm talking about. smile


It is often said that a watch comes to you and being a lazy hunter, I more or less abide by this dictum. So when this perfect, freshly serviced and complete specimen presented itself to me, I didn't have the courage to turn it down. After having vicariously enjoyed it for so long, I feel I know it well, even though I have never had the pleasure of seeing one in the metal!


World timers seem to be getting a lot of attention recently with the anniversary and enamel models, which are beyond mere mortals like myself. So this is my consolation prize but I'm not complaining as it's in my favorite metal. smile



Now that it's on my wrist and as I re-read Amanico's thread, it takes on a whole new meaning and clarity

and you will excuse me if I don't elaborate or reiterate what Nico has so succinctly and correctly described in the 5110P.


As a traveller's watch it will be with me as I as I embark on a vacation tomorrow in Japan. smile


A very Merry Christmas to all and thanks for looking!












Best

That is so true, my friend. But there are some which are Worth a " hunting " effort... Like this one. Anyway, you got a marvellous Watch, certainly one of the most interesting Patek from their modern and not too inhumanly expensive collection. The King of...

But let's go for a gang, it sounds tough and male and the idea that a gang member could wear this sophisticated 37 mm guilloche dial watch is quite funny ;-) Best to yo Nico and happy christmas !

 By: fernando : December 17th, 2014-22:58
but in this case I am very happy to follow in your footsteps. :) Truth be told this complication didn't at first attract me as I thought there was too much going on in the dial and the legibility isn't the best. However, the realization that often we look... 

That is a really nice compliment, my friend. And don't forget...

 By: COUNT DE MONET : December 18th, 2014-01:06
What a watch! It looks very good on you with casual wear and I have no doubt it will look also great to a formal suit, too. I give these kind of watches the term "retirement watch": firstly because I could by it at my retirement and secondly I would have ...

 By: emcquillan : December 19th, 2014-13:25
probably the best photo I've seen of the 5110P dial yet. Absolutley stunning photos. I myself went for the 5130G, but if I am being honest and competely impartial the 5110P is my favourite version. Hmmm, is it time to go hunting? Best wishes, Edward

thats a tough one Edward
