Yes certainly !!! I'm only afraid that I can't resist and when I decide to pull the trigger...
But there are 2 big constraints probably too difficult to overcome : even if 2 kings I'm not sure I could leave with a 2 watches collection only (few probably but 2... no !) and whatever smooth or sensual a manual wound watch is simply no go for me now for the reason you know... 😟. I wish it would be different but i did not decide what happened, I only have to do with it and cope with the situation... Still I shall try it next time with immense pleasure for sure 😉
Talking about sealed plastic, here's one I made earlier.......
How can that be kept in plastic???? ...
Only if you wanna...
suffocate someone with plastic bag to take this beauty of his wrist
When you marry her , you make love to her.
You make love to your watch by using her. Lol. Cheers.
A real marvel, that one too is definitely the kind of stuff I love
and your picture is simply perfect, showing nicely light reflection in the Breguet numerals and hands. I wish I could consider this one as a possible achievable target but I made my calculations and this one will remain a dream. It's a pure beauty, huge c...
its manual wind is also something quite special....
.....it is truly sensual. Next time in London, Mike..... would be good for a gtg at some point

certainly would be a spectacular pair in a two watch collection...
one automatic sporty blue AR travel time Aquanaut and one mechanical drop dead gorgeous black enamel dial with applied breguet numerals split second chronograph.... for me one down, the other a distant dream....
and now you open a can of worms....
.....in a 2 watch collection, would you take the 5650 over the 5131P? 5370 and ? I will now be thinking about this tonight.....what if.....
a two watch collection for me would have to involve a sporty water resistant time piece
the ultimate Patek sport watch in my opinion is the 5650G. The other piece would be 5370P, primarily due to two reasons: 1) the black enamel dial is magic, now the case and split second movement is not shabby either. But the dial is a stunner 2) as much a...
genuinely....i would find it very hard....
.....but i actually agree with you....if just two....the two you mention.
Ahhh a vintage punch knocks everything astray...
I think in a fair world there would be room for two modern and two vintage pieces as they play in different leagues But yes the 3448 is spectacular!
A modern two PP analysis at that ;)
not obvious to me the outcome may have changed but wanted to add this slight disclaimer
I might open this thread if you haven't already decided too
But all brands. I also think this should be a seiko regular thing with different themes, my opinion on the matter changes with the wind! For example, 2 watch collection but must be two watches you already own. Or two watch collection, but you just wear a ...
You take a mean photo Joe! :-)
The angle of the shot is near perfect as it accentuates the raised numerals and yet show enough of the dial. Meanwhile ,the curved lugs hug your wrist well! I have decided that I love the 5370P from this angle!!
I was once told....
....that my photograpy would make Claudia Schiffer look ugly.....so i decided i needed some lessons!
You mean you find
Claudia Schiffer attractive??!! Sorry Claudia, I am a Cindy Crawford man
I admired a sibling at the NY Exhibition
and those numerals are so beautiful. A gorgeous dial!
it really is about the dial, but the case sings so sweetly too.....
Thanks for your words
OK, now I need to decide which organ or limb I'm giving up for this watch...
Yes, keeping this in plastic will be a disgrace to the watch world, imo. Rgds Raymond
It is made up of many, many pieces of metal, into a mechanical marvel...
Imagine x years later, some future generations dug up this piece of artifact, they may wonder how "ancient people" in year 2000s able to create miniature wonders, just like how we puzzled on the 7 wonders of the world.
That's the kind of thing I keep thinking about.
All those tiny parts, some that can't clearly be seen without a magnifier, placed together to do something so complex. What will people think?
Similar to the millions of transistors we are making into a tiny chip....thickness of film in Angstroms (1 angstrom = 0.1 nanometer)
imagine how tired my engineers and operators eyes looking for a speck of particle?
Hi Joe, your baby 5370P is alive and kicking because it gets to breathe freely ! :-)
This side profile photo is excellent because it shows show nice the case and lugs look ! Furthermore, the 3D effect of the applied Brequet numerals is shown clearly. Thanks for Sharing. Cheers, Gordon
