Hey guys, I grabbed this piece about two weeks ago. After some suggestions, I think it is the perfect Patek for me in terms of bridging a casual lifestyle with some dress attributes. I decided I really can't go to a more dress watch at this stage of my life, but this one is a good intermediary.

I am very happy with the decision.

I played with the new zoom on the iPhone.....my pics always suck anyway.

Congrats.

Enjoy it

Congratulations

Nice! Congrats

Awesome buddy!

goog53 · 18 October 2016, 12:03 PM

Excellent choice. Don't be afraid to give us a group shot with those beautiful RMs. I like what Patek has chosen to do with this piece in releasing it in small quantities as opposed to flooding the market

jschmidtdmd · 18 October 2016, 12:07 PM

Thanks for the kind words all.

I think it meets my wants of the 5164r and also gives me something dressy that isn't ALS or Rolex.

Gotta break the damn leather in though. It is stiff!

Very nice, congratulations!

lapince · 18 October 2016, 01:08 PM

AWESOME congrats

Love that piece. Congrats. Curious- did you pay over sticker? These were going for a premium for a while.

subtona · 18 October 2016, 01:50 PM

Congrats. Great looking watch.

RussW · 18 October 2016, 04:22 PM

Congrats, great to see another of these on the forum. Would love to see some more photos.

conkers · 18 October 2016, 05:53 PM

Congrats! I wonder whether a dark strap of some description might work well on it?

blcblc · 18 October 2016, 07:41 PM

Nice. Congrats!!

Tried but then thought eeew something is wrong...more padding or something

KarlS · 18 October 2016, 11:10 PM

strap gets a nice patina once worn a bit...but then I am biased!

Congrats. Also think a nice black calf or suede strap, maybe without stitching, would work well.

raclaims · 19 October 2016, 01:57 AM

I nearly bought one of these recently...well done! Congrats.

RolexAviator · 19 October 2016, 02:23 AM

Congrats! I personally really like this watch

jschmidtdmd · 19 October 2016, 02:24 AM

I am really enjoying it as well, I think a dark strap, or even a navy may be nice.

Ok John, we're going to have to meet for coffee so that I can drool over that watch.

nyc2la · 19 October 2016, 03:16 AM
