GW, I can fully appreciate saving/spending on a watch instead of other luxury choice
A Huntsman suit will cost $8k, I'd go out of my way to try to use it but perhaps only wear it 10 times per year... and that is ACTIVELY trying to use it. The Huntsman suit will eventually fall from favor in my rotation, no one in my family would want it (regardless of classic cut and color) and it will collect dust in an upstairs closet with my old military uniforms. Instead if I saved up and bought a simple Calatrava - now that is easy to wear for the rest of my life, and in a best case scenario: the rest of my wife's life, and the rest of our girl's lives. Then the rest of their children's lives, and so on.
Best,
Robert
Smart but sporty
Nautilus has been so versatile for me. Even with sober, serious attire. So glad I was offered this piece. Thank you Patek! Best, Robert ...
Thank you Emmanuel
The 5712/1A-001 is so thin that I don't need to shake my dress cuff over the watch. 8.52mm case thickness is a wonderful advantage with various cuff designs. Best, Robert
Thanks PW!
When I wear a Patek I kind of feel I need to step up to the moment! LOL Best, Robert
Will do Vital...
These sterling silver cufflinks were bought at auction (vintage) in the equestrian-crazy town of Saratoga Springs, New York. The artwork shows a horse and rider in the woods and on the back is stamped "Fox Hunt". Love them! $35 USD won them! Best, Robert
Vital - thanks, i love collecting old cufflinks and prefer silver so I can polish them.
Makes wearing them more personal because I know they're freshly polished. When I'm wearing them I don't take off my coat so they're my private secret! Best, Robert
Private, until a special person notices
Like another employee in my building who collects ID/security badges all day long through a glass screen. He has become a watch enthusiast and can identify watches on the hundreds of men's wrists he deals with every day. He recognized my Nautilus the firs...
Your 5712 beauty has seen less combat that mine LOL
I have some major love scratches on my bezel :-( Best, Robert
I am careful wearing it.
It’s not a watch I wear every day because A., I’m too afraid to scuff it up completely and B, it’s become so recognizable that one has to be careful. But I do love it. I fall in love with it over and over again every time I put it on.
Gary, I'm careful too and purposefully wear long sleeves
but as horrible luck would have it, my 5712 always finds door jambs and other sharp edges. Oh well! The Best of Everything to You, Robert
Sunday church service with my very well dressed wife
I certainly have to step up my attire when my wife suggests it's time to go to church! LOL If she doesn't like what I'm putting on, she'll go into my closet look my wardrobe over and say "Perhaps you'd be more comfortable in this suit." Best, Robert When ...
Thank you Vicuna!
It took me 8 long, painful years to get this Patek. When I wear it I will respect it! LOL Best, Robert
Jon, you're very generous
Suit MTM from Martin Greenfield, Brooklyn. Can't afford to have them made across the East River on that island. LOL Best, Robert
I sympathise.
I was in London earlier, walking along Saville Row and Jermyn Street, but only window shopping apart from picking up some laces for some cordovan boots from Crockett & Jones.
GW, the Saville Row suit makers are likely @ $8k per suit now, which is fine and probably worth the money
I went 'low rent' with London suit maker by going with an off-off Saville Row house called Redmayne. Off topic but hopefully we don't get in trouble!
I would love to get a suit made by someone like Huntsman, but I just don’t have a need for a suit at work anymore.
I would get more use out of a blazer/sports jacket so that might be an option. But as much as I admire the tailoring, I would rather spend the money on watches!

That is exactly the same conclusion I have arrived at
As much as I have the desire to try the experience of going on the Row I think the idea of it is nicer than what i would get out of it in the life I’m living. I am fascinated by that universe though and. I love to read about it and learn about the history...
Jasem, thank you for your kind input
Yes, I am enjoying Patek's super thin version of the Nautilus case. So very versatile. Best, Robert
Thank you for sending me to Google AI Grisar! :-)
Down the rabbit hole I went - and fun to do so. Have a great day and thanks again for your input. Best, Robert
I love your outfit Robert, and the watch fits perfectly👌🏻
The 5712 is actuality one of the more versatile watches I can think of. I feel that you don't need to worry about your outfit, the 5712 will always go well with it 😉
