The influence of some.
I have read with passion and enthusiasm
the many watches presented by this prolific poster ( you know who I
mean). IMO there's none more prominent and famous as this one, which
recently celebrated it's ten year anniversary with the Man. Now most
of you will know the watch I'm talking about. 
It is often said that a watch comes to you and being a lazy hunter, I more or less abide by this dictum. So when this perfect, freshly serviced and complete specimen presented itself to me, I didn't have the courage to turn it down. After having vicariously enjoyed it for so long, I feel I know it well, even though I have never had the pleasure of seeing one in the metal!
World timers seem to be getting a lot
of attention recently with the anniversary and enamel models, which
are beyond mere mortals like myself. So this is my consolation prize
but I'm not complaining as it's in my favorite metal.
Now that it's on my wrist and as I re-read Amanico's thread, it takes on a whole new meaning and clarity
and you will excuse me if I don't elaborate or reiterate what Nico has so succinctly and correctly described in the 5110P.
As a traveller's watch it will be with
me as I as I embark on a vacation tomorrow in Japan.
A very Merry Christmas to all and thanks for looking!

Merry Christmas Fernando
Beautiful Watch the 5110P. You will never go wrong with this one , You can wear everyday.
Congratulations! Welcome to the World Timer Club
The watch that comes to you, or which escapes from you.
That is so true, my friend. But there are some which are Worth a " hunting " effort... Like this one.
Anyway, you got a marvellous Watch, certainly one of the most interesting Patek from their modern and not too inhumanly expensive collection.
The King of World Time Watches!
Huge congratulations, my dear Fernando, and may I say that I am very happy to welcome you in the WT Gang?
Best,
Nico
I thought it was a club ;-)
Please Nicolas! Wait for the roll call! Give me a chance...
Just waiting for the Universe to aligne properly during the following weeks
)Un abrazo, Abel.
Thank you my friend! I´m waiting for good news ...
I sent you a PM a few minutes ago!
Un abrazo mi amigo!
Afectuosamente, Abel.
I have you to blame Nico...
but in this case I am very happy to follow in your footsteps.
Truth be told this complication didn't at first attract me as I thought there was too much going on in the dial and the legibility isn't the best.
However, the realization that often we look at a watch for the aesthetics rather than time telling made me re-consider and I'm glad I did.
You are absolutely correct regarding the coherent proportions of the 5110 and the size is a plus for me.
Thank you for the indoctrination into the PP World Timer and specifically the 5110P.

That is a really nice compliment, my friend. And don't forget...
" We don't read the time anymore, we admire it. ".

I keep mine at home and have a look at it every day.
A dream of watch and a watch to dream: that is the WT from Patek
What a watch!
It looks very good on you with casual wear and I have no doubt it will look also great to a formal suit, too.
I give these kind of watches the term "retirement watch":
firstly because I could by it at my retirement and secondly I would have the time to day dream with this watch about the various times and places it is showing.
Congratulations to your new Patek and enjoy.
Moritz
