Great review ! Thanks.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for sharing.

But you already know that I'm a total fan of this Wempe / PP, as I got the pleasure to put your watch on y wrist. My conclusion was that this watch gives a great idea of what I could call the "Patek harmony". Everything is at its place, everything is beautiful and well done, everything is easy and logical, everything is "natural", and so on. Even the small diameter (36 mm, correct me if I'm wrong) did not make a problem on my 18 cm wrist : in fact, it gave, if possible, even more elegance to this PP Wempe.

Besides, the LE makes is rare and you won't see it on many wrists, which is an egoist but obvious pleasure !

Enjoy my friend and never leave it. It will give me the opportunity to wear it next time we have a drink

))

Best

Didier.

1 mm that makes the difference

By: Mike H : August 8th, 2012-13:10

I had to check for the exact size before I revert to you Did. The diameter of 5125 is in fact 37mm, not 36. I know it's only 1mm more, but that makes quite a difference. Not really on my chicken's wrist (17cm), but on a stronger one it shows. That reminds...

This is what I call a great start ...

New PP masthead

By: Mike H : August 7th, 2012-06:36

Hi Oliver, You are asking me if I mind seeing the picture of my 5205 as masthead ?! You must be kidding: I just join the club and you pick up one of my pix, what an honour ! I am just delighted, fell free! Mike

Beautiful watch & dial!

By: DDW : August 6th, 2012-10:33

Really never noticed the "vintage" element of the nice pearls around the circumference of the dial. Very reminiscent of the 2526 and early 3448's What a magnificent design, great addition to your collection I bet, congrats! Ciao, D

Now that is one good looking watch!! Nothing else to say. [nt]
