Patek Philippe

Dear Friends, it's with great pleasure that today we can announce the latest, remarkable Grand Complication created by Patek Philippe --- Ref. 5470P in Platinum, as part of the regular catalog! You can soon find all the information on this new marvel also...  

Looks very good.

It’s understandable. A strong addition to the lineup.

Not really a successor to the 5370 since it’s not a Rattrapante, more another complication option.

Alas, I missed out on the just-released Czapek split-second, that is a truly amazing timepiece!

Though Blue is Beautiful and contemporary. Personally Black and White or Salmon 😍would be my preference. For Professor I would modify the blue into something eclectic yet definable , perhaps panda style of Amalfi - Turqoise?

Kiton clothing often has red accents. This watch has so many red accents!

...  

Lots of red accents!

Wool flannel pants! If you haven't discovered them yet, they're lovely. But you've probably been aware of them much longer than I have been! Mine are in a five pocket layout and I sleep in them on the airplane!

I actually own the same shirt you posted @fabr. The one on the left. Their sport coats in particular I love!

...  

It's champagne, champagne, and very fine shirts!

Now I'm the type after a dinner drink, I take a nap in the middle of after-dinner-movie time. And I wake up in the middle and ask anybody around me, "what happened while I was asleep." It's gotten my friends so annoyed that now they tell me to drink only ... 

I MADE SOME PANTS FROM THAT CLOTH

What's that using? 8 micron wool? 170s? Oh my goodness!

I BELIEVE THAT THE LORO PIANA 170'S IS 15 TO 15.5 MICRONS

Still, those sound like very very nice pants!

Gotta balance things out sometimes! But I have to stop buying pants really. I've got eight or so Kiton pants, some of which I haven't worn in two years! Another two Pescarolo pants that I've never worn ever. And probably a few more underutilized pants!

I got too fat during covid, but I noticed a lot of very good deals on Kiton, Isaia, Attolini, etc... ever since COVID kicked off.

Yes! Lots of good clothing deals! If I gain too much weight, I won't ever fit into those pants that I've never even worn once! The trainer beat me into submission today. But core exercises doesn't really reduce weight... Gotta exercise more and eat less! ... 

The next time you go to the store, pay attention to the buttonholes. You'll see they're individually made and hand stitched. Each buttonhole takes around 4-5 minutes for a professional to complete! The ISAIA shirts really are quite special!

...  

I've always been a John Lobb guy myself. But I have to admit, the Italians have a bit more flamboyance!

...  

I like pinstripes. Pinstripes just work on me. And I see you use the "Berluti" knot.

... perfection... but not for my thin wallet unfortunately... but this is one of the best things I have seen from PP in a long time! Well done!

very exciting indeed!

Although honestly, if you have a high limit credit card, that's probably all you need.

And yes, I always pay my credit card in full. But I tell people to get mortgages and auto loans since the rates are low and the economic inflation is high, so they're likely going to repay with inflated money later.

My fanciest credit card was made out of solid metal. It weighed 28 grams! Made a big clang if you dropped it on the floor. Unfortunately, the card recently expired and they mailed me a plastic replacement! That's not very fun!

It's interesting. 4% as a referral bonus. Hmm. Interesting!

The issue with the partners is you'll have to pay off the *entire* charge with points, and so you might have trust to leave many points in there ;-) But redeemed as cash back is 0.7%, which makes it effectively a 2.1% cash back card if you charge on it $1... 

This card is cool, but kind of complex.

All free (including no FTFs which is always my first requirement! ;-)) and now it's also become a real bank, with some excellent savings and checking accounts at 1.25%.... Hope it's sustainable, but they are backed by some great investors so it might be! ... 

Introducing the WatchProSite Luxury Big Spender credit card. 5 points rewards at watch and jewelry retailers including Airport Duty Free purchases. A stainless steel Daytona allocation once you spend X amount in a calendar year (resets every calendar year... 

So with Apple, GM and then WPS I’d be at 3 out of 3 with Goldman Sachs….a dream for any real collector!😂😂😉

The credit bureau is probably wondering what's going on! You're going to be on their "naughty boy list" soon!

...  

...  

I suppose you get 2% if the online merchant takes Apple Pay?

I can see they say this explicitly in the app, "Use this card number online, over the phone, and anywhere Apple Pay is not available"....so it looks like it's always a 1% online ;-)
