Dear Sir with all due respect you know nothing of me to be able to suspect or suggest seeing eye to eye with me.
As far as I know you only read this post and saw my PP watches and made your assumptions. I have quite a few other brands as well if you care to look at my other posts.
But as I said earlier thank you for reading the post and commenting on it. Hopefully in the future I would be able to live up to your expectations.
Best,
Samer
My watch collecting journey, where I am today!
Watch collecting is a journey like school! First you get excited about everything then you start selecting what you like by the graduation day, if you are lucky, you will know what you want do in thing with watches, I started with buying what I could aff...
Most important part of the journey is to enjoy the ride.
Take them out of the boxes and the ride begins. ...
They will be worn as soon as I get delivery!
You Always take beautiful pictures in a beautiful setting. Thank you for reading.
Very happy to read about such a successful journey with this unique brand, for which you’re totally correct…there is NO vaccine!😄😉
Hope to see your wristshots soon…all gorgeous, but most of all this 5231J is truly a big new entry to your collection, which virtually any Patek enthusiast would love to own! And yes my friend, now a (or I should say, another) Rare Handcraft will definite...
I agree with you. Don’t know why people jump immediately into conclusions before asking. Energy badly spent I think.
But this is why you are the moderator!! 😉
I have worn all of my time pieces! They are to be enjoyed.
Hope you are doing fine! And congrats on you new acquisition! I fell in love with the WT the first time I was able to see one on a trip to Sweden where there is a watch shop, not to name it, that had the 5131j and it was beautiful. The next target is a ra...
The only bad thing is that to benefit for the taxe refund I have to have them shipped so he will do the unsealing for me😞! I had the joy of unsealing the 5235 only!
But who cares. I have the pieces this is the most important thing.
Hi Raymond, IF that's the way you describe it I'm totally with you, but we don't want to jump to conclusions, so let's wait and see what our friend responds.
Of course, all ADs have to sell their watches *unsealed* to the customer. Anything else would be a pretty serious violation, which might easily cost them their license -- no doubt about this point! ;-) I'm not aware of whether these specific watches were ...
So sad for you my friend…🙈, value of your unicorns just cut by half without those brown bags 😂
Just kidding…I’m also a fan of some protective stickers because I like my watches in nice conditions, but I do wear them.
😆 I didn’t think I would get any sympathy. I finally had to pull a sticker off cuz it was scraping my wrist!
I do keep telling myself that watches are to WEAR! 😜
From me you will always get sympathy!
Your username always gives me the Wakanda forever reply in my head! Since we are on this forum PP forever🙅🏻♂️.
These are the pictures taken by my AD as I haven’t collected them yet.
But I was excited to write about them. He is the most straight forward AD I have ever dealt with. I should have specified it sorry
The WT has a story! I wanted it last year but did not get it
This year also I didn’t get it but the person who reserved it pulled out and I happily said yes when it was offered to me…. Thank you for reading!
I wish you the best of luck, these Pateks are truly art at its finest! ;-) I'm really looking forward to picking this one up soon (it's already been delivered to Italy, if all goes well I'll drop by that AD before Christmas to pick it up! ;-) Cheers.
[Actual pics and wristshots to follow -- for now of course I only have double-sealed pics (I will do the unboxing in person!), but I'm sure you understand why I was asked to avoid publishing them, even if I'm the moderator...;-))] ...
I should have used pics from the PP site also!
But once I used the same type of ppics for my 5168 Blue dial and it didn’t make such a fuss! I am still not used to interacting with my keyboard and having to think of all the possible consequences… what a headache. Lovely piece BTW.
Congratulations on your PP collection
I assume these are old pictures and you have actually worn all those timepieces as they should have. I am also intrigued by what would be your definition of a sports watch.
Not yet since I didn’t get them yet due to COVID travel bans.
But since the world is opening up. I will soon but not soon enough!
With all due respect, this is the most boring watch "collection" I've ever seen....
They aren't even watches at this point; they might as well just be bricks of gold. That is if they are all still in their boxes... I hope you open them and wear them in the best of health. They are MUCH more fun on the wrist.
I agree! But what can I say I am a boring person!
At least you read the post! Thank you.
Thank you for the effort and time you spend o. This forum!
It was not pleasant but what the hell. I always enjoy the ride! Have a goodnight sleep! And bring your A game to the call at 2:30 am! Best, Samer
You and I will likely never see eye-to-eye on our views on watches...
And that's good because if we were all the same, what a dull world it would be.

I think perhaps I was unclear...
But this reply was actually to FabR, not to you. I am sorry for the confusion but I simply said that I hope your watches, however you chose to enjoy them, bring much joy. My reply to you was below: "Ha! In any event, and however you keep them, I hope they...
A BIG congratulations on becoming the owner of these 3 extremely special watches! And thank you for sharing your collecting journey. I can certainly understand
your wanting to share your excitement with the Forum members even though you have yet to receive these treasures. Covid life has definitely created many challenges, both big and small. It also must be more than a bit frustrating having to wait to take pos...
Thank you for taking the time to read the post and commenting!
Patience is a virtue especially when dealing with PP or you will loose it. I can’t wait to share the wrist shots with forum members. Best, Samer
Hi Saz, congrats in getting these coveted pieces !
Your Patek journey thus far has been a meaningful one and trust that the PP “bug” will infect you deeper 🤣 Scoring a 5231J as a consolation price for missing the 5711 green giant is plenty good 👍 My wish is that this dial will poison ☠️ you deeper into th...
Hi Gordon!
I fell in love with the enamel work the first time I saw a piece in the flesh. Now I might be aiming at a rare handcraft but I need a theme that I like and an allocation I hope. Thank you for commenting, Best, Samer
Hi Samer, getting a rare handcraft will
bring your joy to another level ! Best of luck ! If you have to choose one out of the various rare handcrafts, which technique would you select and why ? Enamel, wood marquetry, engraving , or something else ?
I can tell you which one but to tell you why!!!!
The why means that I am very knowledgeable in all of the techniques something I am not. The only thing I can tell from pictures I have seen on this forum is that the enamel work is somehow more lively to my eyes. I like colors, and vivid ones to be exact....
I will definitely need some advice one day concerning the rare handcraft pieces.
You and Gordon will be my to go experts. Best, Samer
Hi Samer, you rare handcrafts piece must therefore be
ENAMEL ! The reason is that I am a self proclaimed enamel “addict/slave” and want to deeply poison ☠️ you ! 🤣 ...
Actually I thought of you when I saw the rousseau swatch collection!
I was about to get it but my wife gave me the eye😂😂…
Ummm 🤔...since you wife gave you the eye 👁 on Swatch Rousseau lion 🦁, then
buy her one to match yours ! 😄 Mine say hi 👋 ...
Actually she wouldn’t mind getting the really rousseau painting as a consolation price!
But I would be broke by then😂😂!
