I am 31…and I shall get one by 33!
Owned my first AP at age 30…and I shall own a Nautilus by 33! 
We all need goals, don't we?
Dispel myths...

"now have acquired pieces from the most respected watch house (as it's hand made & not factory built)." Care to elaborate more on that? Patek Philippe watches are indeed hand-made, but the term factory-built is true as well (they're built in a factory...
Arrogance
By: Chopper88 : December 1st, 2013-14:55
Is sadly common amongst higher end brands of all sorts of products... While I don't own a PP yet, I can imagine feeling the same thing you must have felt. I too am still fairly young (although not 19), and when buying a first 'nice' suit, I just felt the ...

Well I like some brands more than other that for sure but primary I love the certain model no matter the brand name behind it If the watch is nice than it's nice regardless the brand of course level of finish and movement quality differ and that's for sur...
Seriousness ;)

Well you know something. I am not too serious either! My mother taught me when I was young not to believe half of what people told me. So maybe the person in the shorts has xyz watch but maybe he doesn't! Maybe someone who is under 30 owns a sky moon but ...
Hi Sam, my name is Fricks and i've been an addict...

... ever since i got my 5070R, i was 35yrs old, it was 5 yrs ago. Ever since, i've slowly sold most of my watches, which were AP, RM, JLC, Lange, Rolex,.... to buy mainly Patek. Now, about your dress code, looks like you need yourself a nautilus. The 5970...
30 for me

Just my two cents...

Hi Sam, where I come from many consider Patek a good gift for their children as a rite of passage into adulthood, so for their fortunate off-spring the answer to your question would typically be "on my 21st birthday". The Nautilus is popular for boys, Cal...
Well said Oliver!

I can't say it better myself. I can totally see where EDJA is coming from. But at the same time, in this particular case, we should be generous and give the poster some benefit of the doubt. It certainly doesn't harm us to give this poster the benefit of ...
That hurt!

I feel a little bit offended by your message. That is because at 32, I had 45 employees, 26 mil euro turnover, no kids and worked nearly 14 hours a day. Was an entry level PP an act of conspicuous consumption? I don't know. It joined my Blancpain Fifty Fa...
yes and yes! ;)
By: teofft : January 6th, 2014-15:16
I think the point of these message boards is to find common ground for an otherwise entirely "conspicuous" and superfluous hobby. Patek's happen to be expensive, yes. they also happen to represent the apex of collecting (IMO). I'm honestly surprised at th...
