We look forward to hear more about your adventure. Wear it in good health. Bill

And I actually acquired a 7011/1G with charcoal gray dial for my wife at the same time! Let me try to get the pair together and share a pic with you all! Cheers!

Congrats to your better half. LOL Let see the wrist shot. And don't forget to join in the wristshot forum which occurs every Friday. There is always some in the world that starts it when their time zone rolls into Friday. Bill

and welcome. Best, Horo

Upon the choice of Pateks. Will be good to see a side by side photo of the lovely duo.

My original intention was to get the 5711. But then the AD happened to have one 5712 in the shop, and when I tried it on, I just couldn't let it go! Both watches were acquired in the X'mas time of 2010...and I found it a good way to wrap up the year and m... 

I feel your joy, wear it in good health!

May good health be with all of us and our beloved ones!

That's a nice Nautilus that looks great on you. Best, Goh

The question listed above is understating my real problem. Of course I have read the manual, but still I am not 100% sure how I should take care of the watch delicately. The manual says, when the watch comes to complete stop, you have to wind it for 10 tu...

I have a 5712G and it's a great watch. I do not use a winder so hand-wind my watch when I choose to wear it. I wind it until the reserve is full. Then adjust the time, making sure that you pass through a date change to know exactly where you are within th... 

Somehow I just missed your reply which does give me some insights! Thanks for that! I don't use winder. So when you manually wind your watch (in either direction of winding the 3 o-clock crown, right?), the power reserve pointer does really move?? In the ... 

Hi, Gorgeous watch you got! Regarding your question I don't have the answer, but there are several owners here, so you may get it soon. Cheers Dje

Yes, I am looking forward to the inputs from other owners! The watch does look great to me!
