Very desirable mix...
A very good friend from the far east emailed me this freshly taken photograph to make me envy...
It works. I have been staring at the photo for a long time. This is such a great collection that's very wearable in all scenarios.
From the left, we have an ultra rare Patek 565 stainless steel with sweeping hand, 27SC movement (less than 15 known, probably only 12 currently), a mysterious Stainless Steel Grand Seiko 3180, a very popular stainless steel CDV 1955 and a super under rated Patek 5050J.
I'm especially in awe with this 565. I have gotten to wear it too. It's a super watch 
Even when the photo is just a snap shot, the charm of this collection remains. The owner is a handsome man too... how unfair :P

the 565..
My oh my... that 565 is really incredible ! Your friend has impeccable taste, congrats to him
Yes it in indeed incredible.
I have gotten to try it for a short while until we both decide that he will have this piece while I get another one . I love this 565. Look at those enamel printing. ...
That Grand Seiko
is so mysteriously cool and fantastic on the wrist. Together with the CDV, it is quite a great 2 watch travel combo . Stainless Still
What a sight
the CdV is becoming something I need to try to justify to my other half🤣
This CDV 1955
,in any color, can go well with many other watches. It doesn't feel too precious and yet it has elegance.
Buy it. Hide it from your other half
Trust me, the Cornes de Vache is worth it. Best, Daniel
I may have to!
right now my mindset has been on moving for a nice moonphase, maybe harmony complete? Need to try on wrist first, which is hard where I live. Plus , should have a new one coming in a week.
I love the Harmony, but...
the CDV is on another level imho. The other VC that for me plays in the same league as the CDV is the Historiques 1921. Let us know which way you decide. Best, Daniel
Indeed
hard to beat a nice manual wind chrono with that charming case. 1921 fabulous as well (perfect if no script in sub seconds dial - the original at least had the center dial and sub dial numerals aligned at 12 position, I saw dump all together). I like the ...
Hi CL; good to see you...
Your friend has a very satisfying quartet. Didn’t you also sport a 5050 for a while? Cheers, pplater.
Hi Pplater... It's been a long while :-)
So nice to hear from you . I love 5050. I think I have about 3-4 of them over the last 20 years. Always a yellow gold version.
