I'm getting a nice Reverso in the beginning of June. But a blue + white dial is not the best match with a black/black car... Best, Kari

From what I know about your taste AND because lately this watch has been haunting my dreams- my vote is the Patek 5960P! As far as the strap goes I think you did a great job with your steel version, therefore I leave this to you Sincerely and Respectfully... 

NT

but I would call it more elegant. Best, Kari

Suggestion no 2 Photo credit: Suggestion no 3 Photo credit: Amanico ...  

ETA or non-ETA? Best, Kari

As far as I know they make it with a company called Chronode... Not really manufacture, but still very special. Just added an UN Freak as suggestion no 3... ...3 is the final attempt to be the lucky winner... BR, Kolosstt

I have understood that "Freak is cool" but I have never really understood how the watch works. A bit old you know... Best, Kari

Consequently, it can\'t be age to understand a watch without crown and pushers. If I woke up one morning and forgot how to operate a Freak, I\'d get council by YouTube I guess. - ah, there\'s the problem: I don\'t have a Freak... Cheers, kolosstt

After I have been using iPhone for years, I did not learn to understand the logic of Vertu and Anroid... Last weekend I asked a guy from my Helsinki office to visit Tallinn and I gave him a job: "make my Vertu operate as much as iPhone as possible". Prett... 

Won\'t be long and your daughter can help with everything smartphone-like. BR, Kolosstt

21, 20 and 16. They always help but there's a problem: After giving them a new laptop or phone for adjusting, they normally say: "dad, I think you will not like this. I can take it." Best, Kari

And surely never ever ask about help with one of your watches.

But if they would know what a nice watch costs, they would suddenly be VERY interested. "One Patek=5 Hermes Birkin" would be the logic. Best Kari

In some respects it's simple. Part of the gear train orbits the dial and the bridge acts as the minutes hand. Set the time by flicking the little plaque at 6 o'clock and turning the bezel, wind by turning the bezel of the caseback. The mainspring occupies... 

is the movement in-house? Best, Kari

The escapement is proprietary and the execution is unique to say the least, so it is either fully in house or some elements are bespoke resourced (which I view with as much favor as full in house for specialist watches).

And here is the PR package: As partner to the Artemis Racing team in the America's Cup, Ulysse Nardin is flying the team's colors high with the new FreakWing, which is packed with innovations and cutting-edge technology just like the famous high-tech AC45...  

Thanks, Kari

Congratulations for your Fantastic purchase and hope you enjoy it and , modestly , if I were you , I would have no doubt at All : any Richard Mille Rgds

Isn't RM for young and dynamic men? I'm old, conservative and lazy. A typical Patek client. Best, Kari

For a change , you may be surprised with something New ¿who knows? , I Think RM can be for All ages, (in fact I would like to own one when I am 80 ) Anyhow sure you choose the perfect one....

and one I really love! Best, Kari

Patek 5905P black dial. It is black, sporty with the Chrono function in addition to the annual calendar. It exudes class and with a 42mm case legible and comfortable on the wrist. I think it would be a close contender if you don't already have this one.

I have it. I must say that even I have a 8 inches wrist, 5905P feels a bit big. If I compare it with my 5960/1A, the latter feels much more "right" on the wrist. It's amazing what a difference 1.5 mm makes. Best, Kari

as I have only tried on the 5905P in the boutique for a moment. Thanks for sharing your experience as an owner. Now I know the 5960P black dial is the one for the hunt.

Best, Kari

The car looks stunning. My recommendation is the Chopard Engine One Tourbillon, this particular version was made for the Only Watch Auction but knowing you and your charm I am sure you can convince them to make another one for you and the other variants a...  

Another suggestion that hasn't been mentioned yet is the AP Offshore Diver Chronographs. Cheers, Anthony

I ordered from AP two bespoke straps, black hornback crocodile with yellow stitching, and reserved also the yellow ROO diver chronograph. This happened when I picked up my RO QP from AP's SEA Service Centre in Singapore. When my RO stopped again in a coup... 

Didn\'t know about that one. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Kolosstt

even for an older man. Best, Kari

My bargaining power when Chopard is concerned is plain Zero. Furthermore, even the watch looks great, I'm not very excited about tourbillion and I do not believe I will ever have one. Best, Kari

May I suggest a Piaget Polo FortyFive to go with the prancing horse? ...  

Your idea is, I suppose, that both are totally black. But the car has a lot of yellow details. Best, Kari

I must admit. I guess my imagined scenarios would be 'hands on steering wheel' or 'wrists hanging by the window', where the matching black and yellow watch/car would make the most visual impact. For me there is a slight concern that a black+yellow detail ... 

if people will recognise my watch or not. I wear the watches just for myself. Best, Kari

i think every watches from your collections are match with your new Ferrari Enjoy them with a good health Ron

Let's take any Nautilus: blue dial and black car would be tasteless. Best, Kari

Yellow chrogaph hands would be another story. Best, Kari

it seems we have the same 5980 different dial though, and the same car but different colour ! congratulations again.

But our preferences when colours are concerned are different. Luckily there's no right, no wrong. Best, Kari

Platinum case, inhouse automatic movement, column wheel chronograph, with matching colours? Picture from the web ...  

Kari

But don\'t buy one before I can ;(

.. either a Speedmaster or a Daytona ... offcourse with a Ferrari (i hope you ordered the Handling Speciale) there are other suitable possibilities as long as it's a chronograph ! Bim BTW ... congrats on the black devil

Speedmaster is not really my thing - I somehow prefer a bit smoother watches. But the new Daytona... That I would like to have; both black & white. Best, Kari

Girard Perregaux 9020 Ferrari Scuderia Rattrapante Foudroyante Chronograph Split second chrono with 1/8 of a second measurability absolutely necessary! Link with video: ...  

California T with its 560 hp is such a tame car that something less than a split-second is sufficient. Furthermore, I have an issue with co-branding like "Breitling for Bentley" "Hublot for Ferrari". We all are adults and can probably find a suitable watc... 

No message body ...  

just 560 hp, 755 nm, 3.6 from 0 to 100 km/h and top speed over 315. An old man's Ferrari. Best, Kari

that would be a real contender to 5370P. Perhaps even nicer. But the price is salty. Best Kari

because the price of both are insane and in these kinds of amounts small differences are not counted anymore. The enamel dial, Breguet numbers and the case design are the big plusses of 5370P. The movement of 5204P is as nice, the perpetual is a big plus ... 

Luckily RG is not my thing. I prefer white metals - preferably steel or platinum. Best, Kari

As one of the following... But I prefer the first one (only sold in Vacheron Constantin's Moscow Boutique). And the 5170G is cheaper than the 5970P! ...  

I like the Moscow Special but I do not like Moscow. Patek 5170G is nice but I like more platinum. I guess that I will never get 5170 because the coming 5370P will replace it well. Best, Kari

White gold or maybe even platinum moons? Or silver? Anyway; a gloomy Finnish watch to go with the Ferrari. Über cool.

and when I go back and have more time, I will contact Sarpaneva. Hangover moon would be really cool. Have a great weekend! Kari

Best, Kari

It would give you a great opportunity to re-gain trust in AP as a brand ...AND it would fit very nicely in your collection as something completely different, more sporty and very cool. Chrsitian

But that happened when I picked up my RO QP from repairs and I believed it was fixed. When it did not work, my enthusiasm about ROO Diver Chronograph was cooling down. Best Kari

and it will remind you of Black Cali T long since it will be gone ...  

and Calit T is just a GT car. It does not deserve a Grand Complication; max a complicated watch. Best Kari

Stunning car, thanks for sharing with us! Watch-wise, what about the Rolex Daytona Everose? The Daytona family has quite a rich automotive past and it is a manufactured movement... I also find that this very model stands out quite a lot from the usual Rol...  

Daytona is a fantastic watch. However, I'm never very excited about the combination of sportive watches and noble metal. But the new steel Daytona I'll buy as fast as I can get one into my hands. Normally I am going just for white metals steel and platinu... 

Red gold?

red gold cufflinks from Patek Salon... Best, Kari

I had for quite some time a crazy idea and getting RG cufflinks were and integrated part of that. Today I bought the same in YG... Best, Kari

thw U30 tourbillon rattrapante or the U40 tourbillon both reasonably priced for what they are ...  

It might sound weird but for me it's an unneeded complication in a wristwatch and not so exclusive anymore. The only thing I have been thinking occasionally is GP's Three Golden Bridges. Best, Kari

5370p

but 5370P only in the end of the year. Best, Kari

will be too difficult, so I will save you the trouble and just swap you this for a Daytona. A good deal yes..? It will go very well with my Panerai 292 Hope you are well my friend, Andy.

Kari, This watch may not cost $100,000 but it still has some "PuristS" connection. Perrelet was founded in 1777 and invented the automatic rotor winding system. The Soprod movement is arguably "in-house" for Perrelet like Lemania movements are in-house fo...  

I have been reading in the past about the history of the brand. Isn't it so that Perrelet is one of the many re-born brands? Anyhow, if the watch is not in the 100k class, it's just a great thing. Who on earth would like to pay much for anything if someth... 

Kari, Few brands today are 'original' with some founder's blood still managing, like Seiko and Audemars Piguet. Many are "re-established" like Breguet and Blancpain. Even Cartier and Chopard were resuscitated during the 1960s - 1970s by current owners. Th... 

I know pretty well this stuff. I also know well that i.e. Breguet was "re-born" but I still like the brand because it's easy to see the connection between the old and the new. Best, Kari

For its history, for its strong link to Italy (previous owner, I believe you are aware), for its I have two proposals: Competizione Circuito or Stradale, depending on your taste. I would say the Circuito is the perfect match. Best Stefan ...  

and the first one is cool. Thanks for showing these. Best, Kari

Either the the Centigraphe Sport or Octa Sport in titanium on a bracelet would be a superb pairing with your Ferrari. I have the Centigraphe Sport in aluminum and it's my favorite 'sport' watch in my collection.
