I agree mark the white dial is nicer to me..
and more racing than the black one but is good to know that they are giving another option. Thanks for your advice, considering it seriously
Personally a fan of this reference in all varieties
and the steel is no exception. I know there are many opinions on the bracelet, mostly from non-owners it seems. I really think this bracelet is well constructed and extremely comfortable. The only (and this is a slight only) qualm about this sporty reference is the lack of water resistance. If it was water resistant (and I mean considerably more than 30m) it would be a phenomenal all round daily wearer for me. I do enjoy mine a lot regardless, but if I had to pick on something that would be it.
Regarding supply of this reference I am somewhat surprised that Patek is not controlling it better on this piece. It is one piece that stands out as being in every window of every AD and half serious gray market dealer. Believe they demand would be a lot higher for this piece if people believed it was harder to come by. Many watch enthusiasts seem overly influenced by what the market seems to think about a watch than have defined personal tastes. Each to his own I suppose, but my recommendation is to get what speaks to you. That is what will make you happy.

thank you keks I agree..that the only weak point
is the water resistance that doesn't let it be that sporty! this said I still like it and I feel I would wear it a lot. Still considering given the price point for steel 
I think most of the people is not mad about the bracelet. And most of them think that it is not possible to remove the bracelet. Sell it with a leather strap, and you will see. [nt]

Watch
I was in Geneva ha d the good fortune to have lunch at the same table, next to Mr Stern. Guess what model he had on . You guessed it. The one your wearing.
... beautiful yet discreet daily wearer
... that looks great on you!
In my opinion the original bracelet should stay on the watch, which makes the complete look of the watch.
Is there such a thing as *final* watch?
It is a perfect business watch
I would leave the bracelet on, especially when travelling as you can sweat.
If one's business is more desk work, than happily with a bracelet.
If there is one reference you will find unsold at every AD it's this one!
If you love it buy it...doesn't matter what others think as you have to wear it
This is a seriously under-appreciated and under-rated beauty.
I went for one and have not regretted the decision. An incredible versatile, good-looking, piece from Patek.
I really like the case and the bracelet.....
but the dial is overly bestudded. No match for Zenith's colorful El primero Chronograph in my humble opinion. The movement may be superior but I do not know that. I would wait in line for the perfect love. Cheers Edward
I was just judging the easthetics of the dial Christianch. Cheers Edward [nt]
