Today's new:
It's green in southern Africa, hot in Australia and west Africa. And it seems that once again the revolution is spreading from Moscow!
Okay, the last one. I will not bother you for a while with my boring dial.

Pure magic...
... superb macro pics. I've always wanted that the hour hands carry a small magnifier. That would be really cool to be able to catch small details as time passes.
Amazing the amount of details that works together in such a small space, not bigger than your thumb!
Very true,
In the real dial i.e. Italy is hardly one millimeter long. The Artist surely spent some time with the dial.

to be honest i think that picture a bit wrong
i do not think than Norway or Sweden much greener than central Russia or Ukraine.
Also, there are no deserts in Russia at all - what this yellow / red color means then? Revolution?
Guys, please don't use this word and pray for Russians not to build communizm again - they gonna eat you all. We gonna, i mean

I just drove from Helsinki to Lapland and I'm answering from the world's northernmost beer brewery located 260 km north of the Polar Circle.
I can assure you that Finland is green! The forests are everywhere and growing. Yesterday the forestry reserves were biggest in the Finnish history and only today exceeds the same. What I mean is that the forests are well taken care of and the annual growth exceeds the utilization.
In 1917 the differences in Russia between the poor and rich were smaller than today. To me it predicts Revolution. When it starts, run. And do not forget your Pateks behind.
Merry Midsummer!

Its amazing
How you see the red revolution in everything.
And how the dial looks different in every picture, the shades of color and the texture change depending on the lighting etc. as if the real dial is impossible to capture in a photo. Looking forward seeing this live.
Best,
Lasse
You will, Lasse
because I have to borrow your new Beauty to present it here.

Now Dr. Kol
Are you going to keep rubbing this watch in our face every few days? Enough is enough already! If I have to see this beautiful watch anymore times; you're going to make me go out, and pay $150,000 on the grey market for one! Stop teasing me!
Palmbeachguy - FYI, the end of May auction in ...
... Hong Kong by Christie's had the 5131G sold close to US$250,000
so Dr. Kol better not rub his 5131G in our faces anymore for your sake !!
I saw that auction result
That's just crazy, they trade between 130 and 150K all the time. Someone with more money than brains bid on that!
Christie's wrote that...
... 5131 had been discontinued which was (is) not the case
perhaps the buyer believed in Christie's or somehow found out that 5131 might be discontinued
future auctions will be interesting to see what prices will be get done
I have on my wrist 5140P during this holiday
and will take some pictures.
Buy that one. All you will pay is 2/3rd of 5131G.

Hi Nico - I am interested to know...
if you prefer the dial of 5131G or 5131J , and why ? thanks
Since I don't like colored gold cases, it is very simple to get why I prefer the G. ;)
ok understood...then
hopefully when I get to Paris soon with the Ulysse Dragon watch for your photo shoot, do you also want to take photos of my 5131G ? or have you seen enough of 5131G ?
will do !! now I just a great reason ...
to go to Paris (other than for meeting up with you for watches, croissants and coffee, although they are already good reasons)
Put Nico, you are known about two things when it
comes to Patek:
1. your love of World Time
2. your hate of sealed watches.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Kari
I think Nico also has a soft spot for ...
... , same as me, enamel dials of all kinds !!
My comment was not totally honest...
if you do not love that 5070G of yours, I can buy it because it must be cheap.
Tonight I was thinking about taking some watch pictures or to be more precise wrist shots at midnight. With midnight sun, naturally. You should see it one day...
