Hi 👋 all, As my collection journey continues and as I get older (wiser maybe ??), I realize that, while dial designs and movements are important, another critical element is the
strap ! IMO a spiced up strap provides a new look to a watch, freshens the wrist presence and makes me feel that I have a new love ! Recently I changed the spiced up yellow strap on the 6000R to a "SPICER" yellow with bronze stitching and the effect is im...
This is indeed most wise
I wish I was wise enough to afford 3 pateks 😂 That aside, the yellow strap really looks great! Takes a simpler piece and makes it fun. Makes the world timer extra fun. Love it.
The 6000R is almost perfect...
...but I have a problem with the bold type used for the dates. I could overlook it because of the sweet movement : )
I love your colorful straps, regardless of midlife crisis.
I gained much inspiration from Yaco, who’s always had great taste in straps. These are a few of mine. ...
Takes a beautiful watch to the next level.
Most importantly, makes me feel fun and joy when I look down and see a different strap on my watch or on other people’s watches - almost like a subtle nod that we can enjoy happiness as well even if a subtle way.
Yes, seeing the colorful strap matching the dial is a pure joy ! The spiced up straps are
actually NOT that subtle.
One of the cashmere straps that I started enjoying many years ago 😊👍🏻
Glad you like the combinations 👍🏻🙏🏻
True! Strap holds 2/3 of the space of a watch.
New strap is basically a new watch!) ...
yes, a beautiful strap
accentuates the watch ! Will you spice up your Lange by exchanging the brown strap for something brigher ?
I have several straps: red, green, blue etc. They help to upgrade the looks.
And your watches look very nice too. 6000 and GMT are very good timepieces to have)
I find your new strap to work perfectly with your 6000R. Very nice.
The yellow of the 5131 is perhaps a little too spicy for me, but the green one is perfect too. Changing the dark brown alligator strap of my Cornes de Vache, first for a dark burgundy alligator one with contrasting "gold" stitching and, later, for a light...
They are all perfectly appropriate,
But that burgundy with the gold stitching stands out the most to my eyes!! 😎🤌
This is an interesting art watch, but I think this watch should be from China, because there is a map of China and the names of China's two first-tier cities on the watch.
I have seen many Chinese watches, but this watch is the most unique one I have ever seen.
It is a
limited edition in 2015 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Patek operating in China (25 pieces) !
Actually I like yellow too..
I had a bright yellow on my 5153.. but swapped it to a blue becoz I thought it was a better match ...
Love your strap choices.
It's always fun to change traps on our watches. Oftentimes it gives the watch a completely different look and I truly enjoy playing the *strap game* with mine as well.
I don’t know that buying very colorful watch straps qualifies as irrefutable evidence of a midlife crisis😂. Perhaps buying a sky moon tourbillion
and a unique red Ferrari to travel with the watch “might” be stronger evidence😊 And yes, a strap can make all the difference and it is a lot less expensive than buying a new watch. Here is an example Best, Patekova ...
Hi Patekova, thanks for understanding the colorful straps do not mean
I have a mid-life crisis. Unfortunately my wife thinks so !
