Patek Philippe

Thanks for all the great info over the years - I wanted a watch I could wear a lot - and I honestly like a more trad watch than the nautilus or aquanaut. So I took something dressier and put a casual strap on it and got it in white gold. Can wear with a t...  

I love how the strap contrasts with the case. Looks great.

Best wishes , what is important is flexibilty. And the 5296g sectoral dial is very versatile. Geross.

The combination of your Patek on a vintage style leather strap is genius. I like it very much. Bravo Bill

And a very smart choice for what you have in mind.

It will always be a great watch in your collection. Personally I think that you could try something more adventurous when it comes to the strap, dark blue always works well. Whatever you choose keep enjoying it !

To me it is becomming a clearly Bauhaus design watch, which is not a design I like. I love the dynamic elegance of this G model, with ist cool blue strap. So my personal verdict is: no, it does not work.

but not necessarily subjective, they want the objective way too, as Cpt Scarlet said, because the point is to be able to choose well in the end. Just giving a very partial opinion as if it was a standard truth is misleading. For instance saying that someo... 

No message body

It depends on what the aim is, what weight we put for comfort, price, finishing, waterproof, price, looks, elegance, sportiness etc... If you buy someone else's grail, you may not like it and if you finally end buying nothing you may not be enjoying somet... 

I have a great deal or sympathy for the point you are trying to make. There can be a tendency for people to transpose their own taste onto others. Similarly, one can see situations where what is deemed "correct", "tastful", "relevant" etc etc etc is seen ... 

So much to language issues (Good point from you).

If I’m convicted enough about a watch, I’m going to acquire it no matter what anyone else’s opinion is. If other people’s opinions give me enough pause to not buy the watch then I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Perhaps I was getting ahead of myself and s... 

I did not use any strong expressions, rude or what so ever words. My opinion might be strong, yes, but in no way disrespectful.

It is actually written in steel, on a rotor of a watch I happen to own: passion, opinion, information ...

.....when opinion is unfettered. Also part of the forum rules is that one should addess others as if meeting them for the first time at a cocktail party. If i was to meet someone at a cocktail party and saw their watch was a 52mm bronze jewelled diver, my... 

I think I’m coming from a place in which I assume that’s given. That’s, perhaps, an error on my part, but I bet many would agree that respect and decorum should absolutely be a part of sharing one’s opinion. That’s one thing. Asking people to basically no... 

See it, see the discussion like this:Imagine you enter a cocktail party with a twin swan under your arm. Do you know whether there a swan lovers in the room? Or people with Anatidaephobia? I think everyone should decide for him or herself whether the duck... 

It would be more impactful to see wrist shots with different clothings to get a better sense of how this casual strap fit or not.

I’ll tell the whole watch journey story later! I wasn’t really looking for hard validation or anything - it’s a specific vision I had and it’s exceeded my expectations! thanks again!

I wear it with a blue matte strap. Looks great and works casually. Not a big fan of your strap choice, try it with dark blue matte. It’s casual enough. My .02

It's been nearly a year. Wear this almost every day. ...
