Thank you for the warm welcome, and yes...
... I'm a real newbie at this as I only started seriously looking at fine timepieces in early November.
I did feel like I needed to catch up a bit. I learned a TON from reading posts in this forum. And fortunately (or unfortunately) when I looked at the many watchmakers out there I felt like the only one with workmanship and design that captivated me was PP. Good stuff, man.
Yes, the bank account has been taking a hit of late. 
Show your moonies..!
I'm a great fan of Patek complicated watches, and find the moonphase watches particularly appealing! Show your moonies! I must confess: my 5205G dark dial is still double-sealed, I'm waiting for a special occasion to pop the cork and break the seal! Best ...
In terms of beauty, this one cannot be beaten, in my dreams.
I also have a soft spot for this one, that I am glad to enjoy in the real life: Best, Nicolas. ...
That special moon ...
from VC is to die for, but I don´t like the watch. The 1815 Moonphase is almost perfect, in RG ... ... in PT ... But if I had the choice and if we don´t talk about Patek Philippe, I would probably choose this one ... ...
Another one which is my absolute favourite...
With its satellites all around... ;) ...
I have only one and it is a Patek...
So here it is: Enjoy the end of the year! Fx ...
Beautiful watch and ties ...
but I am not sure about the green strap - on that watch/in that case.
I love a good moonphase!
Really like the very casual arrangement of that beautiful collection, Mike! New-to-me 5056P, on the wrist right now: 5135R Two very different annual calendars,love 'em both. ...
Ouch! Much better in the real than on pictures.
I could never forget it, after seeing it... In black, it is so strong and elegant! You are a lucky guy. All the best, Nicolas ...
took a million before...
... catching it right :) The secret, is the right light. This watch has one of the most magical dial, going from a boring grey to a popping white. Always looks different.
Get naughty with this moon
<a href="" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"/></a> Happy new year 2013 ...
I would love to join in............
But mine is safely, hopefully, currently sitting in the Patek UK Service Centre, awaiting some minor adjustments. But, I am with you all in spirit :) Happy New Year to us all :) Regards Tony PS Mike, don't leave it tooooo long before breaking open that se...
Well, since we are not limiting things to Patek...
One must admit that JLC makes a fine moonphase: And GO is no slouch either... ...
Here's mine...
Happy new year everyone, may all your "watches" wishes come true in the coming year!!! ...
Seems like ...
you are (almost) covered for all occasions - 24/7 :-) Great picture and watches!
Very nice Mike!
Wishing you and very Happy New Year my friend as well as the rest of PP!! Cheers,
Thanks Mike for moonlighting ...
Here's my one and only... Still loving it. Happy new year ! All the best in 2013 ! ...
Pics of watches with moonphase that I've collected over the years
My pics, but not all my watches!!! ...
Sorry, the Blancpain pic is not one that I took. Not sure who did...
I think I took all the rest over the years.
Sublime.............
What an excellent collection and range of moon phase complications. :) W220, the detail in your photos of your 5140G is outstanding :)
Love this SE perpetual!
Tempus, This is a truly stunning Patek. Every element comes together perfectly on this watch. Not to mention the fact that it's a technical masterpiece. Congrats!
Love it, too! :-)
Thank you, Mauiguy! It is really a very special watch. I hope end of january I'll find some time to make some better pics that will show more details. It's amazing how it changes its colour of the dial from different angles.
Beautiful!!! Congratulation!
A classic! I also like the RG with brown dial very much.
Absolutely exquisite...
... and with its dark blue strap, it is so nice, so elegant, so understated, I really love it. Long long ago I had a 3940G with silver dial, also a great watch but this 5140P is surpassing it by very very far: the color combination is classy and more orig...
Absolutely gorgeous
I do not like the new font vs. the 3940, but this dial is an absolute knock-out. Envious!
Those are probably ...
the best pictures of that version which I have seen so far. The blue comes out very well and the grey moon in picture 2 & 4 is even better. Thanks! Oliver
mauiguy, I hope you don´t mind ...
but I have chosen your first picture as our new masthead picture. Oliver
No worries. I'm honored!
Thank you Oliver! btw, the 1st two shots were taken with my iphone :-) Also thanks to everyone else for their kind comments. I'm still awe of the 5550P posted by Tempus!
Stnning piece! the color combo compensates
the busy dial perfectly. Just superb...!! Mech.
Georg, it looks like ...
you have been skiing. In Austria? Great to see that you enjoy your watches on the wrist. All the best to you and your family! Oliver
Here's my PP 5146R and a friend's Lange PC and PP Nautilus
Hi Mike Happy new year to you! Here're my moonie PP 5146R , friend's Lange PC and another's (Melvin's) PP Nautilus (borrowed for my wrist shot - ever since then I have fallen in love with it!). Pics taken during our new year eve's gathering in Singapore. ...
The first picture ...
shows quite well the differences in style between ALS and PP. I like that. Oliver
Mike's moonies...
Nice thread that leads to quite pleasant pics of moonies Mike! Because 2012 has been the year of quite many changes for me, I don't have anymore too many to show, so I'll concentrate on my 2 favourite ones: My beloved 5125 and my regretted 3970 that I mis...
And just when you thought it couldn't get any better!
This incredible 5125R! Why is it Patek produces all their best pieces as special editions? <sigh>
If you like 3970...
...and so as to remain in the subject, I have found again some VERY nice pix that a friend took of my 3970 a while ago. Hope you like them ! Cheers, Mike Credit : Deniz () ...
WOWSA!! Lots of fab Pateks... and a few "interlopers"..!
But nothing wrong with that... one from me also!! ;-) My steel Rolex 6062 And a few of the Patek moonphases I have loved and "lost"... White gold 5036/1 Yellow gold 5036/1 and rose gold 5036/1 with fixed bracelet (my current 5036R has the rare removeabl...
Very nice again my friend
And as far as the 5059--you can always get one back--perhaps even a 5050. :-) Cheers,
Some more moonshine...
I posted this 5146 recently in another forum, but for the benefit of those who have not seen it... ...
First post in this forum...
... a small contribution to this thread since I'm a fan of moonies too... My baby in platine ...
Thank you - I am in love with this little one
Although its tonneau shaped sister is equally loved!
Thank you!
I literally just got started collecting a few months ago, but for a variety of reasons I feel like I am making up for lost time. That, and possibly a midlife crisis. Anyway, I learned a ton from you all just browsing the forums. Super helpful site! You ar...
If your current/shown watches are just a start ...
it seems to be very promising for us and dangerous for your purse :-) Yes, I am a moderator - Moderator of the Patek Philippe forum at PuristSPro. I am happy that you like our place and community and I am looking forward to your contributions. It is all a...

Welcome! This is the ultimate Patek PC...!
I'm speechless...! Does your piece have the see thru crystal as the back as the added extra? Thanks for sharing! Mech.
Coming from you, these are words I cherish
Your pictures and feedback about your 3940J, which I read in great detail on this website, is what led me to my 3940P in the first place. Funny enough, I asked my dealer about a 3940J he had listed but he had sold it over the holidays, so I ended up getti...
Thanks and what a journey to finally owning
the ultimate 3940p...! Don't get me wrong, I have only come across one which Patek has approved in writing to supply the sapphire back surrounded by platinum. I held the piece in my hand for the longest time and felt very sad when I couldn't acquired it e...
Jayz you have the 3940G too
That's a pretty amazing collection there, man. You have the 5140G too, right? Is a rose gold version of either the 3940 or the 5140 in your collection too or perhaps is next in line for acquisition? Love, love, love the stuff you share and as I mentioned,...
I was once determined to get rose gold version
but read somewhere its color fades over time and became a yellow looking gold and that didn't go down well with me. I'm not sure how it takes for that to occur but since a Patek is staying with me for a pretty long time, I'd be pretty upset to find myself...
I traded in my 5119R for the 3940P...
... I loved my 5119R while I had it, but I've got to say that now that I have the 3940P I haven't missed it one bit. :)
+1, I think between these 2, there's really
no comprison as they're totally different. I would glad take the PC...anytime! Mech.
I just recently decided on getting this one...
... actually, over another moonie (the 5036/1G). Which doesn't rule out my getting the 5036/1G in the future! Sorry for the images of midtown NYC buildings reflecting off the glass! ...
I wasn't sure about the tonneau case at first...
... but it is quite unique, and as usual once it was on my wrist all doubts vanished.
